More than just fixed lines

how about providing a better service first and cleaning up your crap before starting something new?
 
amazing how u can be the only player, with the liberty 2 do all u ever wanted 2 do, and use all that time 2 b hated by every1, and now when competition comes, u hav all these smarty-pants ideas. :confused: last kick of a dying horse. i say let the horse just die :D
 
If there are no financial incentive ie, lower rates, and their customer service haven’t improved, I would not touch them with my R10 note.
 
Wimax has been a long time coming and I still don't know of anyone who has it.
 
I thought Telkom wanted to concentrate on fixed lines, now they want to concentrate on "more than just fixed lines"....
 
Unbelievable. When you've got a monopoloy on fixed lines and you're losing customers at an alarming rate, how will you fare in a competitive market?

I have personally been through hell with Telscum and will never forget them or their terrible service or their treatment of their consumers.

I will never again use ANYTHING with a Telkom logo on it. That's for sure. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Come on Neotel, I need coverage!!!

When your monopoly is in the fixed-line market, common sense to anyone running a business they care about, in this case, is FIX your 'fixed-line' market. If they're going to go exclusively into wireless now, then they're KILLING THEIR OWN MONOPOLY. One of the only reasons many people use them is because of the better, more reliable stable quality service one gets from fixed-line as opposed to wireless -- and now they want to go wireless? bwhahahahaa. Sorry but that's the most ridiculous plan I've ever seen. 'spend about R1,7bn' on finding ways to improve the damn copper theft situation sounds like a way better idea to me, than spending it on expanding their wireless options. Somehow the figures dont make sense to me: R1.7bn (R1700 million) spending in improving their 3G wireless, but they cant spend ~R58m a year to replace the stolen copper - the core of their company's success? Whatever. What a load of ****. Keep laying the fibre, Neotel. Once I have my Neotel FiOS I'll be laughing at Telkom's WiMAX and CDMA towers. Neotel's certainly on the right track, and what a perfect time for them to start coming in - just as Telkom gets even more looney. I really do hope they capture the fixed-line market, assuming Telkom doesn't wake up and do it first. Right now Telkom's momentum is in completely the wrong direction.

This is 2008. We're in the 21st century. It's the generation of fibre optics and ADSL2+ at good prices for high-cap service, not more airwave band saturating, high latency, slow wireless junk. If I want wireless I'll go to iBurst, sentech, or one of the other hundreds of WISPS out there who CAN'T roll out fixed-line services even if they wanted to - that's Telkom's duty, they must stay away from the damn wireless market.

Well if other companies Neotel, VANS, and Mobile providers are now allowed to do both fixed and mobile (wireless) services then that automatically gives Telkom the right to do mobile too. At least all the providers will now be on the same playing field......now the market can decide who they want to support, after all is this not what we all want, an even competitive market place.
 
The idiots! I have never seen such stupid people in my life. Telkom is just envious of the cell companies success. What they should do is to improve what they have, as it is potentially far far better than what the cell co's can ever do right now. But alas, they are now looking at becoming a second rate cell co themselves.

Did I say stupid already!
 
Poor thing!

Nothin more than a baby cryin over spilled milk, they killed their own market and now they tryna make a new market for themselves? The diference between now and then is that then, we ddnt have a choice...

For them to try and create a new market for themselves will be mission impossibke with thier current management, staff and business-strategy!
