That’s right, amidst country-wide internet failure, incredibly slow speeds and connection problems, MWeb decided to be about a month behind anyone who’s watched a YouTube video or been on the internet since the World Cup started and tell everyone about the soccer ball icon that adds Vuvuzela noise to the video you’re watching. That’s right everyone, go forth and watch YouTube videos with an annoying sound playing while everyone else struggles just to connect to anything. Great logic there MWeb, well done.

UPDATE: MWeb just posted this – fail.
