In some cases, much slower.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t glamorous, they\u00a0did not have any cool road-trip montage moments you see in movies, and it required them\u00a0being in bed by 22:00 on the Friday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Then, some readers have the cheek to ask MyBroadband staff to do the tests in Durban and Cape Town too.<\/p>\n<p>Before you ask them\u00a0to expand to more cities, and spend more time with each other, here is\u00a0what the highlight of their day was: an animated discussion about how BBM let WhatsApp take away its market dominance in the messaging market.<\/p>\n<p>Please think about that before putting in more requests. There is only so much geekdom the MyBroadband staff can take.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Hisense 48-inch FHD LED TV from Makro \u2013 R4,999<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a
