” The ISPs wont miss this business at all, infact they will be glad. These downloaders abuse their services”

It is not like international ISPs where they use their “OWN” bandwidth. We only got 2-3 1st TIER ISPs that doesn’t deal direct with the public. They resell via vISP’s. So the more bandwidth people buy from vISP’s, the more money they make, since they ofcourse take a cut for profit.

“W T F ??, africa does have internet? black people doesnt deserve to download anything imo”

South Africa != Africa. The internet takes to long to download anyway, in that time the blacks die from AIDS.

A lot of whites & pro-whites here!.

The old republic flag will fly before 2010!

They subsequently charge obscene amounts.
Even if u have an uncapped account to access international sites, u can only download maybe 20 gigs or so and then they reduce the speed of ur line to 512k speeds, with our max access speeds currently set at 4Mbps.
It is expensive to buy international access per gig(approx US$7), but it is much cheaper to buy local bandwith per gig(approx US$0.50). Our only real access to content is via the unrealiable local news servers or the more reliable local torrent sites we have (ie. bitfarm and ninjacentral)
