S. African ‘net outdone by pigeon

It’s faster to send your data by carrier pigeon than transfer it across the ‘net in South Africa. Sorry, Winga.

    DrLiam And I thought my internet speed was bad. Hopefully it will improve like they hope with the coming sport event. (And they continue to improve afterward.)

    edcentric My daughter goes to a university here in the US, and works for the IR department.
    She teases her boss that she is faster than the network:
    1. Load files onto a 1 TB portable drive.
    2. Hop on bike and ride across campus.
    3. Dump files onto a computer over there.
    Bingo, faster than transferring them across the network.

Howdy, Stranger!
