There is probably an add on their website for pigeon hunters

Gooo winston

damn these bloody meetings
I missed the whole race, Winston is on the ground, just waiting to see how well (badly) the adsl has done

Winston a homing pigeon has made history by beating a **Helkom** ADSL line in delivering 4GB of data from Howick to Hillcrest, despite giving it a 26 minute head start.
Winston dit it in just over 2 hours, and the ADSL download almost made it to 4%.......

You have to read between the lines, do not attempt if you have an IQ under 50

"A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers" ------

The following quality of service levels are available: Concorde,
First, Business, and Coach. Concorde class offers expedited data
delivery. One major benefit to using Avian Carriers is that this is
the only networking technology that earns frequent flyer miles, plus
the Concorde and First classes of service earn 50% bonus miles per
packet. Ostriches are an alternate carrier that have much greater
bulk transfer capability but provide slower delivery, and require the
use of bridges between domains.
