Additional Post Today - Pigeon Faster than Broadband

We have been passing this throughout our teams today. If you have any sort of broadband (ADSL - Cable), then you will get a kick out of this. I will never complain about the slowness of my DSL ever again after reading this.

I know from friends that internet access in South Africa is the worse than dail up if they have it at all. So that said, a company in South Africa took it to the next level. Here is the first paragaph of the news article >

"A Durban IT company pitted an 11-month-old bird armed with a 4GB memory stick against the ADSL service from the country's biggest web firm, Telkom."

Guess who won?
