I really hope so, they have really abused the situation now.

I used the Internet once but then my sitffy drive broke.

loosecannon · Sep 9, 2004

not so remember the minutes of that meeting are not finalised and sentech released this on there own with no imput from anyone we can now release in our own time any information we see in the public intrest and relating to how bad the service is and how they dont have a fcking clue about contention bw management and that it has come to our attention from a trusted source and tests seem to confirm the entire service has been alocated 8Mbs and of that 2Mbs is international bandwidth [not discused or raised on sat] and that the entire system is dependant on IS ...

inside leaks indicate cacelations in there hundreds and a net decline in subscribers ...

the press will listen there is plenty unspent ammo in our war chest ...

I was optimistic that Sentech were approaching this issue with honesty and were trying to find a way forward. This is not the case, they have consistently misled their customers and now they have blatantly disregarded an agreement with the CUG.

There is no hope. Cancel now.

I used the Internet once but then my sitffy drive broke.

koosbeer · Sep 9, 2004

OT: Can someone please give me some info on a ADSL solution in the same range as 128 MyLameNess. I'm fed up with this **** but need a better solution! What a sucky thing! A website or some info they gathered on their own on service providers and their pricing. PLEASE! Mail me...

We thought it was crappy before we found out all the facts. But as things stand now, it's a whole lot better than the Sentech service.

It kills me to recommend Telkom as an alternative to Sentech, but the fact is that the quality of service is a heck of a lot better than Sentech's at this time. Pity about the cap and the shaping, but other than that, speed and reliability is excellent. You can scan myadsl and you don't very often see anyone complaining about anything except price and cap.

I really hoped that Sentech would be the light at the end of our tunnel, but it looks like they have learned their ethics from Telkom itself. Sad, very sad.

Lesley Stone from BDFM phoned me and asked me a few questions. RE: Bandwidth I mentioned to her that it appears as if local bandwidth is picking up.

This isn't based on any kind official press information from the CUG or Sentech.

martin · Sep 9, 2004

It is indeed a sad day when one has to recommend the products of Telkom above a competitor but overall (judging from the Sentech users stories) Telkom is offering a better option. I'm on ADSL and apart from the ridiculous cap, the price and the fact that my usage statistics got screwed up last month, it does seem that I'm getting a better service which is beyond sad.

nocilah · Sep 9, 2004

so sentech are not responsible?
If not when will an 'official' news release come out?

Did you READ that press release? Biased towards Sentech indeed. Even if you said what you said, it was taken out of context because local/international was not mentioned in that article.

gripen · Sep 9, 2004

It should be clear for all why we the CUG have been tightlipped. We have been waiting for Sentech to make the first move. If this is their handywork, it was a bad move to make (and honestly we expected it).
The CUG is working on a response.
