'Cheaper to fly than use ADSL'

If you don't eat or stay over, you could fly to Hong Kong and download 
100 gigabytes of data from the Internet, fly back to South Africa and 
pay less than if you were to download that amount of information using 
Telkom's ADSL service.

Even taking into account the duration of the return flight, you could be 
back in South Africa days before you could complete the download here.

This is according to Durban software developer Stuart Gunter, who has 
posted on an Internet forum the findings of an investigation that show 
just how internationally uncompetitive Telkom's ADSL service is compared 
to the rest of the world.
