Bandwidth prices exorbitant

I love all the publicity the ICASA hearings generated!

It's just money and PROFITS they want!

There are so many articles illustrating CLEARLY how Telkom is MILKING the country that I can hardly keep up with updating Hellkom!

Can Government not open their darn eyes and see wtf is going on?? Come on surely you guys have computers in Gov, and internet connections? Kom nou, maak plan met hierdie pryse! Eish!

I'm sure they do have computers with internet connections, but they’ve not found where the on button is yet, or if they are surfing the net, they are just keeping an eye on their bank balances that’s been filled by Telkom.

[XOLISA VAPI]Teklom : <Q>We are expecting that this trend - that I referred to earlier on - is going to continue, where we might lower international and local prices further.</Q>
You liars just raised local prices. How can you make a blatant lie like that in public ?

Well, not exactly, or almost not exactly <??>.. This is once again twisting the truth:

They have brought the long distance calls down, but thats only because there are less long distance calls made than short distance. You know telscum logic:
Short Dist: +10%
Long Dist: -5%
Intl: -6%
Press Release: Telkom price package reduced by 1%!!

In the end, yes, in total, local calls do bring in even more cash for telscum, but they "did lower 'local' prices".
