    Telkom - breaks all laws of physics!

    Hang on to your sub-atomic panties, folks - I think Telkom's billing department has just breached some fundamental law of theoretical physics and may be the pioneers of ripping a man made hole in the fabric of SpaceTime. This arsehole-sized rip in the fabric of reason was discovered today...
