I Hate TELSCUM!!!

Reminds me of the incident when Vodacom 'flicked the switch' on CellC a while ago!

Vodacom claimed that CellC engineers were screwing around on the network and disconnected anything and everything CellC. It was chaos, for a while no-one on the CellC network could make any calls or receive any. Then CellC put statements on their web site and claimed that Vodacom engineers were at fault.

I think Vodacom just wanted to demonstrate why it's not a good idea to go with CellC or Virgin mobile... a bit of a knee-jerk operation.

Same goes for internet - somehow Telkom will always be involved and always to the disadvantage of the other companies...danger runs deep.
 
I still don't fully understand how Telkom can be a part of a totally different company. I-burst offers WIRELESS internet, while telkom only offers ADSL. How is it that these two companies can even slightly be linked.

They can be linked in international bandwidth providing, what most people are reffering to as Telkom, would actually be thier first tier bandwidth supplier SAIX, whom Telkom own.

Iburst might use some SAIX conections for international bandwidth, the companies are hardly connected though.

And there is also the fact that Iburst have to pay Telkom for interconnects apparently, so that Iburst can move their data around SA, using Telkom diginet lines. This is how I understand it, but im not very clear on the last part..
 
Well I always maintained that Telkom's real slogan is "f**k tomorrow"

Nothing here changes my opinion.
 
Yep, its probably up all over their offices.. just to keep those workers motivated and focused on their goals.
