Winston would be smoked turkey in most other countries See this site if you don't believe me http://www.speedtest.net/global.php Hi Rich

Is anyone questioning how big 4 Gigs is and the fact that on the best broadband in the world the pigeon would still have won. On a 3 MB/s line it would take between 24 and 48 hours. Telkom should sue for defamation... This is a complete joke. Is anyone questioning how big 4 Gigs is and the fact that on the best broadband in the world the pigeon would still have won.
