Gr 10 Page - Page 86 - Activity 2 - Important words

  • CAP – amount of data (text, pictures, animations, video, sound, etc.) transferred (downloaded and uploaded)
  • Line rental – to Telkom
  • ADSL – type of line
  • ISP – Internet service provider
  • 384, 512, 1024 – different transfer speeds available
  • Kbps (speed) – kilobytes per second
  • Bundle – type of package available from an ISP
This activity is very tricky as there is no right answer and the information is actually difficult to find. Rather focus on the words found in the activity. Valuable in seeing that it is difficult to compare ISPs. (Cybersmart has an interesting deal for night people.)
But the learners should create a table where they compare information.
