What do you expect Crazy ... Any postings CUG members have made have been torn to pieces.

I will NOT make anything gained from my meetings or discussions public until all the CUG are in agreement. The public forum has made it impossible for reasoned and responsible discussion surrounging the CUG.

Only because no one is saying anything and you know everyone is on edge and for the first time members of the forum are holding info from other members, this has not happend before. Thus people get defensive, I would just like to see this stuff released, what have you got to lose thats all.

Fantasy is what people want, reality is what they need.

I feel that I must make a comment:
I don't expect the CUG to disclose all details.... after all I believe that it is their right.
And yes, certain detail posted here will indeed be risky.
However... as all MW users are going to pay for the CUG's obvious mistake ... I would have at least expected a posting on what action has been taken. i.e
1. Letter to the CEO of Sentech, disputing the facts, and informing her of the unethical manner in which false information was leaked to the media.
2. Letter to Business Day, Financial Mail etc. etc. disputing the acticle.

Also... I'm concerned that the usually vocal Rodent (who in the media, appears to have been quoted the most), seems to have gone silent. Can I possibly read into this (as many others have) that maybe he did indeed say all these things???
If so .... OK we will eat Sh_T and move on. (We all make mistakes)
....But I kindly request that you PLEASE close this issue with a final and CONCLUSIVE statement from the CUG for once and for all. We can then put all of this to rest.
If not... this is not going to go away.

I don't think of The Rodent as an activist. Considering the bad response the CUG got from posters here, teh fact that The Rodent has dropped any reliance on his MyWi device and that The Rodent has a life beyond this forum, I suspect there's very little reason or incentive for him to be posting. When controversy re the CUG and the misinterpretations of users here regarding the CUG has died down... and if time allows or there's remote and actual pro-active interest in MyWi, The Rodent my post again.

I used to read just about every post here. After all this was the support forum Sentech didn't provide. This is where you ran to when the connection started dropping or speeds fell out the bottom. This is where one may find out why and if it is just you. Information heaven. Now it's a bitch fest. I'm as pissed off about the service as anyone and would like it fixed and expect it not to be. Frustration should not wreak such havoc on the only place we had to deliberate the service and provide for other users to come partake in discussion.

Yup, the CUG's (in)actions were easily misconstrued, but it's time to be realistic about all this. CUG, as with you and I, will do what we do. That's it. Don't expect them to be more than just what the rest of us are: MyWi users who are not getting what they pay for. There's good reasons not to make things public and as such, leave it be and expect the most realistic things happening behind the curtain - it isn't likely to be some conspiracy with Sentech against other users... it is much more likely to be constructive and much more serious deliberation on how to fix the problem we all face.

Well, keep in mind the CUG only got such a "bad response" here because many users believed they were making a strategic mistake trusting Sentech, and in fact those users turned out to be right. But the CUG effectively said "screw you you guys are just troublemakers" to those who contended that they were wrong to trust Sentech, and even started deleting posts on the forum that disagreed with them. Then they said "we're a private group so we're going to do whatever we want and we're not even going to discuss it with any of you anymore", then they buggered off from the forum ("for now", we hear) ... so quite frankly, you can't blame anyone for having a negative response to the CUG. Whether they liked it or not, organizationally they HAD (de facto) placed themselves in the position of being "leaders" of the consumer activism against Sentech, with the rest of us behind them, and that does bear some responsibility, but they suddenly decided "we don't represent you" and left, effectively throwing into chaos the very consumer activism 'group' that they created. Kind of like when Portugal pulled out of Mozambique, only probably less important in the grand scheme of things :)

Anyway, I'm not slamming the CUG, I'm just stating what happened. I *hope* that the CUG are still working on this issue, but we keep hearing how "busy they are" and that they "don't have time" and have "more important things to do". If they've given up on this, or simply don't have time for it, they at least owe it to us to *let us know* so that we can find new people to organize a "keep-Sentech-in-check" strategy. It could be that we're all sitting around waiting for them to do something while actually maybe nothing is going to happen.

Rodent is *definitely* an activist by the way. From what he has done so far, and still maintaining poopband.co.za, there is no question, he fits the definition to a tee. Maybe he didn't think of it as activism going in, but it is now, and that's the proverbial 'path he has chosen'.

Where the **** do you get off ? ... Do you even KNOW which specific posts were deleted ? The details of the deletion have been discussed ad infinitum. You are so far off the mark it's actually quite scary.

If you had ANY clue you'd probably post somewhat differently.
