When we went from US to UK we noticed a big drop in speed, but it was acceptable, then we headed over to South Africa....fuck it is like the arc ages pre 2000, I did the speed test today again for a laugh after seeing this post, just to see if it has improved....LOL....it said to upload a WMV video of 800MB would take 31 minutes....fuck I did an upload straight afterwards of 164MB and it took 136 minutes.....not even close to what they say....but then this whole country is so corrupt and they say stuff expecting everyone to believe them....if it is said here in SA by any official or person in any form of power that it is sunny outside, you have to check to make sure they are telling the truth....it is going to be fun watching all these reporters etc for the world cup thinking internet upload is super fast here and then receiving reality of super shitty upload speed, they have been told that the isp connections are comparative to the US and Europe.....Not sure in whose eyes that is....LOL....Most officials probably could not even spell the words Europe or the United States of America....We are not here for much longer now and I can't wait to be back home to civilization and get proper internet speed, I would have to say that is something I have truely missed.....
