Typical problems...

Solving one’s Telkom problems is a bit like calling a joke line staffed by the people who used to work for Monty Python and waiting for the next lame-arsed excuse about why your phone line or broadband connection has gone down

...bad analogy, try using some Python-esque references if you're trying to make a point

Good Article, doubt telkom gives a Damn...

Sounds so familiar!

You know. This is getting pretty ridiculous... Surely our president, who claims to be putting his foot down, and blah di blah di blah...

C'mon man. We are all fed-up with the Broadband in this country.
Just ban Telkom. Give all their infrastructure to proper ADSL companies equally and let companies that actually want to give the users good service, good quality, good prices handle ADSL in South Africa.

This is absolutely gone too far. We don't want Telkom anymore. For flip sakes

 

[XCentricdave]

- I'd like to buy some ADSL please.

- What? none at all?

- How about a little piece of Wimax?

- Not that either? Oh.

- This is a Telkom shop isn't it?

- No I don't want a parrot...

Or perhaps:

- When I were a lad we only had dial up.

- Dial up, you were lucky. We only 'ad wet string.

- Wet string, wet string, you were lucky....

- Wet string, wet string, you were lucky....

Lookshury!

When I were a lad we had to walk 100 miles to neighbour, trailing a roll of dry string behind us. When we got there, we had to crawl all the way back, licking the string as we went so me da could talk to neighbour. Mind you, it didn't last long, not when those bloody lumberjacks kept cutting the string ...

When I called to say the much- televised Closer bundle cost me as much as before I took it, and when my bandwidth spiked by 5Gb over a weekend, I was told a variety of falsehoods and was essentially told it was my fault — only to have Telkom refund me R3600-ish for clip-on fraud.

there is clip-on ADSL fraud now, or was the Telkodemonopolies-supplied router hacked?

If only MTN would buy Telkom, as the market rumours keep suggesting, it may become a decent company.

Not unless MTN fires all Telkodemonopolies employees - they are beyond redemption and have permanent brain-damage|brain-deadness after many years of repeated brainwashing and believe the lies that they tell customers.

It will not stop until the gravy train derails.

>Telkom is not answerable to anyone, not even Mbeki, who, by virtue of the government’s majority shareholding, is the single most important shareholder.<
