Hi, I’m from Indonesia. How was your experience while in South Africa with a slow connection? If at any time you visit my country, maybe you will find the same conditions in some places. But if you visit the big cities, the connection is pretty good. I happen to live in the second big cities in Indonesia, so the connection is good here. Since a year ago, I also use the same type of modem Vodacom 3G with Huawei Mobile Connect E172. There are no problems until now. This very interesting article and thanks for share ..

Mario: Fortunately, I’ve been here twice before so I kinda knew what to expect for the most part. It’s nice to see the expansion around the O. R. Tambo airport in Jo’burg – construction is a healthy sign. It’ll be interesting to see what else has changed as we travel across the country towards Cape Town.

Derrick: Thanks for stopping by the blog and commenting. It’s actually funny, but American service and costs aren’t much better these days. But, I’m sure the grass always seems greener on the other side, yes?

Hey Dossy,

I live round the corner from Cresta Shopping Centre. Welcome to the Outer Limits of the Internet!

Lousy service and high costs are the norm in South Africa, you’ll find. Just be grateful you don’t have to put up with it all the time, like us!
