Tellkom Article in "You Magazine" "Ripped Off"

Everyone should buy the "You" or "Huisgenoot" Magazine dated 26th of August 2004, as on Page 14 their is a two page article on Telkom, labelled "RIPPED OFF" and Gregg of Hellkom, AKA Mad, was interviewed.

Nice one Gregg. Well Done. Feather in your cap. And to think this all started on the forums of MyADSL.

I was just wondering... what are the chances of the YOU/HUISGENOOT/DRUM mag doing another Telkom article now... it's been over a year since their first article and there must be a million more disgruntled Telkom customers out there, who would love to know what is going on.

Has anyone perhaps contacted the YOU or Media24 to enquire about a follow-up article? If so, please let us know what the reply was.
If not, perhaps RPM, Mad, antowan or debbie2 could convince them to do another article now???

If anyone has a scanned copy of the original article or a text version, could you please PM me. Thanks :)
 
"dated 26th of August 2004"

thats over a year old, how come we're only talking about this now?

Gladiator...read Post #7... and note the dates on posts 1 to 6...
 
I think it is time that YOU did a follow up story...
 
With the Nov 1st crud from Telkom, and the 1000%-2000% ADSL price differences with global trends, NOW would be the best time to do it.

Is there an email address for the editor or something for you.co.za?

We should all flood them to show interest in doing a follow up.
 
I have emailed them before. They do not seem to be biting.
 
How about someone (with the ability to talk to the press) phones the Editor?
