Just take a look at this

Good Day xxxxxxxx,

The speeds that you are achieving, 1.26KBps is equal to
10.08Kps which is above the minimum rates allowed for by
the MyWireless 128Kbps package.

As long as your speeds are between 4.27Kbps and 128Kbps you
are receiving acceptable bandwidth considering that the
product works on a shared bandwidth platform (as
advertised) and that the maximum contention ratios are
30:1.

Regards
Tristan
Sentech Support
0860 736 832

How in the ******* world can you call 1.26KBps broadband?

And here we go again. There are countless duplicates of the 4.27Kbps on the forum. Im this close to deleting the topic.

So much for Tristan being the most improved Orc.

What's really irritating is that they mouth out that excuse regardless of what package you are subscribed to. Only once has the helpdesk asked what package we are on. Needless to say I was so shocked I could hardly get an answer out.

Lol @ Gunman : Your way with words never ceases to amuse me. especially enjoyed the part about sucking an exhaust.

I'm surprised you didn't make one for the CEO.

I think covering her in bird seed and then unleashing a flock on hungry pigeons on to her would be appropriate enough. As for the ORCs? Well i think pouring acid down their throats would be a good start, or maybe an enema with crushed glass?

I fail to see how that post by LoneGunman is constructive in any way.

I'm as pissed of with the Sentech service as the next person and intend to cancel, but you really are taking it too far with that type of post.

It's irresponsible, immature and damaging. This is only an internet connection after all, it's not a matter of life or death.

Yes, my business would do better with a faster connection and yes, I'm very unhappy with the service, so I intend to persue a cancellation, but when it gets down to personal "dissing" of people, I'm sorry, I have to draw the line - it's negative and counterproductive.

I know how your going to reply to this, LoneGunman, that's your perogative, I just feel you've made some major Faus Paux in your "war" against Sentech !

If your going to do something, take a leaf from TheRodent's methods and actually back up your statements instead of making it personal ?

I distance myself from your sentiments on the Sentech issue.

bb-matt, one of the reasons there is a forum is for users to voice their feelings. I agree that constructive critisism is much better but let's be honest, what more can the community do. My gutt reaction probably would have been the same - if that response was given to me in my face, I would hope that Tristan had a good dentist after I made him eat his words.

Anyway, some good should come of this and I think it's time that someone in the press writes about some of the responses received from Sentech Support. I mean, the fact that they call that Broadband - not specifying that in their ads, makes you wonder.

And did you see the article on the MyADSL front page (http://www.mybroadband.co.za/news/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=217) , Dr Potgieter's comments on the issue of a whole list of Sentech customer details being emailed around, she says that "...she had no knowledge of the incident, and that she would look into the matter."

What do you expect...the only constructive critisism I can say is fire the whole lot.

I like your prose, LoneGunman, It's entertaining reading and shows a high level of intelligence.

But it's still not pro-active.

I'm not pretending to do or to go after anything here, I just want to cancel and move on - hopefully I can do that easily enough, if not, then I guess I'll be posting on these forums more than I expected [|)]

This thread is now closed due to crossing what I believe is "the line". It's just bandwidth for Pete's sake. Much worse things are happening in this country.

Other mods: Please feel free to edit/rip apart what is deemed neccessary, I don't currently have the time. I'd like to keep the constructive comments around though.

To Everyone.

Rodent locked the topic ... I killed it.

If anyone has a problem with it gladly take it up with me on the forum.

While everyone is more than welcome to be critical there is a limit to the 'freedom' this forum can afford without loss of credibility...

LG, you got quite a few people uptight with your comments in this thread - rather than let things go out of wack I've killed you posts.

Shame - all that typing for nothing.

I was going to kill it anyways so we have some agreement amongst the mods on this.

Let it die its death (even though I personally cannot take it anymore either! [:eek:)] )
