South Africa ’s broadband has got to be feeling reasonably ill - equip today reckon a real , flank - flapping pigeon vanquish its transport fastness . No really , a company found out that transport a fowl with a 4 GB USB drive was faster than uploading .
That has get to offend for Telkom , one of South Africa ’s principal ADSL supplier , but damn is Winston the pigeon feeling like the humankind today . He is order all the other pigeons , how it took him two hours to carry the strapped - to - his - back flash crusade 60 miles to the society ’s second office in Durban . In the same time the broadband service had only sent 4 percent of the datum . You do the mathematics but that is fairly damn tedious upload speeds . No wonder the guy cable at Unlimited IT first jest that a bird could send Indian file faster .
This is just the kind of news report I desire to read to shaver at night ( I ’m think the video book is call off “ Winston and the Broadband ” ) . Let ’s trust South Africa gets those fibre ocular lines installed soon or else a crap lading of boo semen . [ BBC ]
