You might have experienced slow internet service lately…
March 27th, 2007Hello
Many of you will, as we are, have experienced very poor internet connectivity lately.
This is especially the case with international sites such as www.booksure.com.
If you try and access any international site you will experience the same poor service.
There is as usual only one entity to blame for this, Telkom.
We only have one internet pipe going out of South Africa which is controlled by Telkom. Slow or unreliable internt speeds are becoming a norm when dealing with this monopolistic giant.
This poor service is effecting the productivity and effectivity of many companies in South Africa.
There is a lot of change happening right now with the current price war between the cellular networks, the immanent arrival of a competitor in Neotel (http://www.neotel.co.za) and the increased number of service providers.
These are exciting times for us South African internet users.
I ask you to please be patient as there is nothing we can do but I am very hopeful that things will change sooner rather than later.
Regards
Lee
