all the jurno was doing by calling rodent was covering there buts and checking the quotes attributed to him and released by sentech or someone at sentech with somthing to gain ...

rumours are rife they have no intention of fixing the problem and things like this make you wonder ...

I just spoke to Michelle Potgieter.
This article is an independant release.
It has NOT been issued by Sentech.

While that doesn't mean I like Sentech, it does mean I'm not adding ANOTHER reason to my list for cancelling very shortly.

OT: HomeDSL384 ... this is JUST the service offering based on speed... ie the 3GB cap etc is related to the IPS offering. So, you you take a standard Prolog account from Telkom it should behave EXACTLY like the 512K offering EXCEPT that it will run at 384K.. This after some clarification by numerous Telkom staff

I have just switched from 512 to 384 ... above is corect.

It's an identical service ... just 25% slower for 33% less cost.

I must agree with loosecanon, it just seems a little to strange that this just happend at this time, while i would like to thank the CUG for there best efforts, this is what a Multinational Govt Department will do, even if it was not an official release, It had to have come from somewhere there ?

And if I were a layman reading it, it would clearly indicate that Sentech got the upperhand on this one.

With no dis-respect but the CUG was taken for a ride officialy or unofficaly !

"It has NOT been issued by Sentech"
This by Michelle Potgieter... the same person who
many months ago said "It will all be resolved by next week"
I doubt that Michelle would understand things like Credibility
or Integrity.

CUG = Completely & Utterly Gullible
Sorry guys.... but Please prove me wrong..... PLEASE.

This is how I see it....

Sentech is using the leverage they need to get CUG to roll over onto their bellies from preassure on two sides or to do something illegal, and/or make a wrong move. This is a normal tactic if you want a problem to go away. "CUG" is a problem, disgruntled users are a problem, if they suddnely pull the plug on MyWi and already disgruntled users sue it will be a problem, but if users do illegal things first they can kick them off and out first making the strongest assets to this cause the strongest liabilites. Sentech has made the first move and if they "did" not place this article then it was placed by parent company to redeem face and to try and gather public support to the brand again in lue of the cellular interest they have gained. This meaning "CUG" is being used as leverage and this means that "CUG" is being used as leverage between the two organizations and public. Unless "CUG" does something legal and drastic back to Sentech, Sentech will walk all over them. the members present at the meeting have to stand together as a whole not losing one of them as Sentech needs majority or all of them agreeing to a joint release. "CUG" must write a strongly worded letter to Sentech saying that all mention of the "secret" meeting MUST be kept out of press until a joint release is made otherwise "CUG" will go public in a big way against Sentech. "CUG" use what is can and gather either members or support to grow its ranks or support by playing open cards before it destoys itself from within as Sentech is hoping it will do.

The facts are in front of "cug" the meeting was held, they got buggered bad, now they have to make a move to make Sentech not mess up again. The most interesting part of that meeting would be the dynamics displayed by the different people and how they interacted. Sentech can be beaten.

Your Move "cug"

There are ways out of this and there are ways to deal with this.

as far as i understand, CUG's aim is not to fight sentech but rather to help them improve their service... telling them what the consumer wants!

<br />The CUG recorded the entire meeting. With that evidence we can take Sentech to the cleaners...

How? It's too late, Sentech got what they wanted, a nice friendly press release that the public will trust and many will now believe that the previous complainers about Sentech MW now effectively endorse the product. This will provide them with a few more gullible new users to maintain their income, and even another negative press release won't take away those new users. Sorry CUG, but these guys are playing you ... and I must admit, they're smarter than I thought. Even the "this is an "independent release" .. yeah right .. brilliant manoeuvring! This is all just business to Sentech ... you're a threat to their company, and you expect "good faith" behaviour.

I find silence from CUG quite deafening :)
