Just be glad you don't live in South Africa. Apparently, their internet connections are so slow, a company used a carrier pigeon to send a flash card with some data on it. According to this link, the total time for transfer onto card, 50 mile flight, and download of data was 2 hours, 6 minutes, 57 seconds. And how much data had been sent over the net in that same time? About 4%. It doesn't say how much data was transferred, but I wouldn't imagine it could be much. Perhaps we should all pitch in and get DOA a flock of pigeons. It couldn't be worse than his current connection.
I am honored Sir.
ReplyDeleteSo I went and read the article ...
ReplyDeleteWhat are they bitching about ?
I've waited overnight to download a photo before, my connection is so shitty, I can download a patch in 40 hours while my friends download it in .4 minutes.
At least they have nice weather there ?
Surely it can't be as bad as living in a pile of pig shit with a slow connection ?
ROFL :)
Fun article to read tho :) Thanks ! lol
