Essay laughing all the way to the bank
Essay laughing all the way to the bank, lets assume Mweb were happy with Seacom, they are still going to pump millions into Essay because no business model can survive much longer without some kind of redundancy.
I put up with the crap service because it is uncapped. If it was not for uncapped I would have dumped Mweb by now :wtf: is it with the announcement that Tenent are our saviors, hell since they came to the party I cannot even browse properly.
As for all those people arguing about best use best effort T&C so Mweb owe us nothing need to remember one thing. If it was a cost factor that prevented Mweb from providing us with a sustained redundancy option Mweb would be hard pressed to argue in a court of law they did the best they could and still charge full price for a non existant service.
A week long internet outage is not a technical glitch but a major breach of contract.
And saying T& C's apply, well a first year law student will tell you, T & C's do not protect you against the Consumer Protection Act.
You have to supply a service to be paid. Pure and simple. And no one of the key tenants of the act is that T&C do not absolve you at all.
But i am an understanding idiot so I will put up with this **** for the week, but I can assure Mweb once Essay is up, you don't have redundancy then you can speak to the hand :twisted:

Grow up a little and realize that people's ideas and outlooks can change as the situation changes. I'm at least prepared to change my position, based on new evidence, and I was prepared to give MWeb the benefit of the doubt. My position is meaningless in this regard though -- wheather I'm pro-MWeb or anti-MWeb or neutral has no effect on the status of the SEACOM outage. My initial understanding was the SEACOM should provide redundancy when an outage occurs. New information we have now indicates that is not the case. MWeb are still not in contravention of their T&C.
