Hmm...great deal <jealous>

Fastest we've got in South Africa is only 4meg. What makes it worse is the ridiculous prices. The costs with the country's main ISP (Telkom) is about $51 p/m just for the 4meg connection (plus additional for line rental, which is about another $16 p/m). Then comes the installation costs (which can be avoided if you do it yourself), costing you about $75. They're nice enough to throw in a major 3GB's worth of browsing p/m. Want more? "Pay up" (more shabby costs)

Phones have it much worse. About $0.25 per megabyte ($253 per gigabyte)
