@rpm : Perhaps you could ask one of the journalists to cover this very newsworthy debacle, which is affecting a progressively multiplying number of customers. Just have a look at the @cellc_support twitter page over the past week - there is an increasing number of serious complaints daily about loss of signal since the migration, and it's in almost every case a complaint from those who have been shoved onto Vodacom.
I would love to know what the legal implications are - Does this not represent a breach of contract, to change the fundamental basis of the contract, which is the provision of network coverage?
If the contract is breached then what recourse do we have? How do we go about canceling contracts without being penalised by having to pay back the full remaining contract-fees (which in any case is a contravention of the CPA).
We consumers are absolutely powerless, since the service-centre people have no ability , or apparently interest, in assisting.
I really don't understand why this very topical unfolding event is not being reported on.
