Hi sTrideR|JP!

Our technicians have been trying to get hold of you on the mobile number you have provided, but are not getting through to you. They called 3 times between 12pm and 2pm on Friday 16 March 2012 and did leave voicemail. Please provide an alternative contact number so an appointment can be arranged.

Hello 8ta rep, thank you for your concern.

I did see the call, I was writing a semester test during that time and the voicemail was inaudible, but I assumed it to be from telkom since I dialed the number. It's difficult to provide another number, I am in class most of the day. I prefer to be contacted via email, and it's also easier to keep record as such.

playing games over 3G is painfull, period!

please, anyone who takes the time to read this: WIRELESS IS NOT MEANT FOR GAMING AND YOU WILL ALWAYS SUFFER PERFORMANCE ISSUES WITH LATENCY SENSITIVE GAMES!!!!!

Count yourself lucky that you were able to play up till now.

Rather get ADSL Uncapped 1mbps at least, to get a smooth gaming experience.

Ahem, for some of us ADSL is not optional...

Telkom refused to install a line for me, because of cable theft in our area.

A friend of mine stays in Paarl and complains about his 8ta gaming too.... international pings jump from 200 to 600, mostly staying in the 450-600 range.

That amount of packet loss LOCAL even is absolutely unacceptable. Now you can imagine what international is like...
Like I said before if ^THIS is what we are paying for, then I'm afraid you are robbing us all. Hope to hear back from you soonest....
