1 My money is on Winston on Tue Sep 08, 2009 3:17 pm

If anybody has friends in PM or Durbs ask them to murder the web on wednesday to support Winston

A homing pigeon named Winston will fly from Howick (outside Pietermaritzburg) to Hillcrest (outside Durban) on Wednesday morning to prove that he is faster at transferring 4GB of data than a ADSL data line.

I think **Helkom** may be spending some of their buget for luxury vehicles and undeserved bonuses on shotguns this month.
There is probably an add on their website for pigeon hunters

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%.......

I hate white papers, they are boring, and .... boring
exept this one.
You have to read between the lines, do not attempt if you have an IQ under 50
below is just a teaser read the rest here - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2549.html
"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.

lol!
