I think the article is referring to Telkom South Africa..., which in a warped kind of way is good if our Telkom can do better than they are...

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.
