What could be wrong with this statement ?
Can this be truth ?
Well, I found a nice benchmark on businessday where they measured the speed of an ancient technology from world war I to deliver 4gb of data against the modern ADSL.
Guess what, that old tech delivered data 95% faster than the TelKom ADSL.
The test was to transfer 4gb of data to a node located at 80km from the starting point. It took 2 hours 6 minutes and 57 seconds for the old tech to transfer data, when the transfer was finished the ADSL upload was only 5% done.
So, the next time you think your connection is slow, try reverting to the old thech, put it on a pen and send it by a pigeon!
