Just to add my tuppence worth to the mix! As a Scot with a holiday apartment in SA I am shocked and disappointed at the extortionate charges for the broadband services here. Another fine example of corporate greed slowing the progress of this country. How can Telkom justify these charges? My parents in the UK pay 17.99 UK pounds per month (approximatley R200) for unlimited access/downloads and no additional 'set up' fee or telecom charges. In Cape Town I'm expected to shell out around 5 times this amount and still have the system capped. Wake up you corporate fat cats and bring SA into the 21st century without penalising it population!!

Hi Rab - couldn't agree with you more. When I came back from London I was gobsmacked by Telkom's utter disregard for the future of the country. Tehy, in my opinion, have the patriotism of a plank and have nothing on their mind except feeding their shareholders' bank accounts. People from abroad are amazed that South Africans put up with it - in America they would have caused a war over this kind of thing.Rab said:
Telkom's day is coming and they will take a hard fall, they're shafting us solidly from behind and they are doing but nothing to further access to affordable communications in this country, I make it a point to not use them.
They are a national embarrassment and the joke of the telecoms sector worldwide.
