It could grip it by the husk
If I could achieve this in Australia would they consider fixing this ridiculous bullshit internet?
[QUOTE=Inferius;17304976]I live in South-Africa and all I can say is that internet is ridiculously expensive, and doesn't match up to what is being paid for it. I mean, take this for example: Vodacom is my cellphone service provider(almost like Vodafone in other countries) and ISP all in one. If I download 1 megabyte of data, I get billed two rand (R2.00) for it. Check out the exchange rates on [url]http://xe.com[/url] (ZAR - South-African Rand). Download speeds are high-speed 7.2 mbps HSDPA (which is actually a lie, if you ask me). Every month, I purchase 2 gigabytes of data at R389.99, which reduces my costs to approx. R0.19 per megabyte, but still we hardly ever get 5 mbps. To put it in perspective, we pay around USD$45-50 for TWO GIGABYTES of data. Once you reach 2 gigs of data downloaded, you get billed R2.00 again. Same with Telkom, only difference is they have 4 mbps ADSL and is cheaper when buying data(around R180 for two gigs). But the limiting factor is line rental and modem costs. If I'm not mistaken, the modem costs well over R1000 and the line rental per month is approximately R300-R700 per month. But I still manage to play GMod and Synergy online, along with watching YouTube vids and everything.[/QUOTE]
I feel your pain, brother.

I've only ever seen a few dots for Africa while playing Halo 3. It is sad.
