The biggest growth of staff over the past 5 months has been on the call desks with the 2nd biggest growth in the technical dept so management are concentrating on the areas that will hopefully have the greatest impact on our clients.
As far as I know, and please remember all my resonses on this site are my unofficial opinion, there will be no increase in the packages cost for all clients who are registered with Screamer as at the 31st August. The new packages will also be announced then as far as I know although I do know that mamagement has done an extensive market analysis and are determined to still keep the package costs below the other major players in this space. I also know that they will be reintroducing uncapped packages at various speeds.
We are busy testing our new management software and servers and hope to start deploying some of the new client features, one of which I know is personal usage monitoring, in about a month and a half's time.
We are dual sourcing our WiMax equip from Cisco(Navini) and Alvarion depending on the application and densities. If there are exisiting clients who want the features that the WiMax connection offers (once we have WiMax coverage in their areas), such as carrier grade voice, then they will obviously need to get new CPE although I believe that there will be a trade in value on their WiFi CPE if they bought it and are not renting. The rental price of the WiMax CPE will be higher because it is currently close to double the price of WiFi CPE.

My condolences...
Especially on the Navini front. Make sure you have deep pockets, and lots of patience.
That website.... words fail me....
An ISP that's EVEN WORSE THAN IBURPS... hahaha
Staff morale is usually a reflection of the health of a company. Better hope he doesn't haul your asses to the CCMA, it is not so easy to sack someone if you think they're incompetent.

Ja and I bet they're paid a pittance too and lemme guess, they're either poached from iBurst or are people who left iBurst

What WiMax products do you sell/recommend??
Well I'll be watching out for that!
As long as nothing changes regarding the packages we originally signed up for.
I don't sell any WiMax kit.
I'm just saying, that you haven't really done your homework.

I don't quite know what to say about the R20 offer, other than it would not motivate me to do anything about it. I also want to scream when I see lots of exclamation marks.

I think they sent it to their whole mailing list.
It's the first clever thing I've seen these guys do.-Marketing wise.
But.... firstly, they pitched in an e-mail that was sent out LATE. How can you expect a client to recruit another client when even the letter stating such an important event (Name change, takeover call it what you want.)is sent out....LATE?
Secondly, most or at least a lot of their clients were/are dissatisfied with the service they are receiving? Who would reccommend a crappy service to their buddy/aunt,brother etc??
Guys, if you have management or marketing strategy problems, get in some help. You are obviously battling.
screamer/still gwi to me,only have a vans.
they are trying to get a spectrum .icasa will not give them because they are whiter than a vanilla ice cream.and not to mention their bad reputation.i wonder what happened to their bee guy,if i am not mistaken he was a rasta,spoke with an american accent(not bee if foreign).these are the days of their lives,i cant wait for their next move,lol
