由于当地网络传输速度太慢，南非首都约翰内斯堡一家信息技术公司改用信鸽帮其传送数据卡，结果证明，信鸽的传送速度果然比网络要快。据当地媒体报道，这只11个月大的信鸽飞抵目的地用了1小时8分钟的时间，如果加上数据下载的时间，此次传输总共用了2小时6分钟57秒。如果用当地网络的话，这段时间只能完成4％的数据传送任务。因为带宽不足，当地的网速和连接状况一直很不好，而且使用费用也很高。南非目前正在兴建一条连接南非和东部非洲的水下光纤线路，并有望在明年南非世界杯之前启用。届时，南非的网速将有望得到显著提高。

A South African information technology company on Wednesday proved it was faster for them to transmit data with a carrier pigeon than to send it using Telkom, the country's leading internet service provider.

Internet speed and connectivity in Africa's largest economy are poor because of a bandwidth shortage. It is also expensive.

Local news agency SAPA reported the 11-month-old pigeon, Winston, took one hour and eight minutes to fly the 80 km (50 miles) from Unlimited IT's offices near Pietermaritzburg to the coastal city of Durban with a data card was strapped to his leg.

Including downloading, the transfer took two hours, six minutes and 57 seconds -- the time it took for only four percent of the data to be transferred using a Telkom line.

SAPA said Unlimited IT performed the stunt after becoming frustrated with slow internet transmission times.

The company has 11 call-centers around the country and regularly sends data to its other branches.

Telkom could not immediately be reached for comment.

Internet speed is expected to improve once a new 17,000 km underwater fiber optic cable linking southern and East Africa to other networks becomes operational before South Africa hosts the soccer World Cup next year.
