Over recent weeks Telkom is apparently upgrading the 4 mbps lines to 10 mbps, where the lines and exchanges support that. Obviously, the internet speeds in South Africa are really beginning to lag international standards, so a more than doubling of download speeds is really going to be fantastic, although we will still be uploading at only 1 MB. As most of the companies do get their internet capacity from Telkom in the first place, one assumes that the competitors such as Mweb will also be upgrading their speeds shortly and we will all be surfing the internet at close to two and half times the speed we are now. Once expects, in an age of technology, that speeds would increase on a regular basis, but we have waited for this increase for almost 2 or 3 years now, and one must hope that the next increase will be next year, considering the amount of international cables currently being laid to South Africa.
