Secret plan behind Telkom ADSL prices cuts: ISPs
http://mybroadband.co.za/news/adsl/91461-secret-plan-behind-telkom-adsl-prices-cuts-isps.html

Basically halfway down the article, 5th paragraph after the second Big Bold heading, "Allegations of anti-competitive behaviour from Telkom":

This argument, said Cybersmart’s Laurie Fialkov, is failed. “It is just a journal entry from one cost center to another,” he said.

I believe this underlined word was meant to be flawed and not failed?

African smartphone users will soon have an alternative means to get round the power shortages afflicting much of the world’s poorest continent – a portable charger that relies on hydrogen fuel cells.

The ADSL bandwidth hogs article has an hilarious error, at:

More general view on uncapped ADSL data consumption

The latest statistics from ADSL ISPs show that the top 5% of users consume 29% of the total bandwidth available on an ADSL network.

What is even more surprising is how much bandwidth the top 1% consume. MWEB ISP CEO Derek Hershaw said that the top 1% of their ADSL users consume 13% of their total bandwidth.

Considering that MWEB’s total data consummation is 7.5 Petabytes per month, it means that the top 1% of customers consume 1 Petabyte of data.

"consummation" is what happens after a wedding (one hopes), that was meant to be "consumption". (bonus doofus point for getting it wrong with the correct word RIGHT there!) Also, "Petabytes" is not a Proper Noun, Don't Capitalise It, Dammit.

Star Sat Superior

It seems like that package is slightly inferior compared to the description in the article and has at some point devolved from superior to just plain old super: http://starsat.co.za/packages.

FNB’s prices start at R449 per month for the 16GB iPhone 4s and R379 per month for the 16GB iPhone 5c and are available to FNB cheque account and private banking clients..

Suppose to be "iPhone 5s" not "iPhone 4s"

Mahomed said that the ease of digital projection also gives us them the opportunity to expand this to medium and more niche film titles.

This sentence is spaghetti!

The forum hook/thread title for the *spit* get etags is wrong: "Buy e-tags, urge cabinet" should be "Buy e-tags, urges cabinet"; what's there now is two discrete statements.

http://businesstech.co.za/news/mobile/49896/samsung-owes-apple-290-million/

Page title reads:

Samsung owes Apple 0 million

0 should be replaced with $290 or USD290

Still looks the same to me. Not a caching issue on my side. Verified by reloading the page, CTRL + R, CTRL + SHIFT + R, opening in private tab, and opening in another browser. Still looks the same.

No fixing on at least a couple of the articles I've mentioned too. Which leads me to wonder: is it ineptitude or outright lying to us that's going on?
