Hi Simple Simon
I agree that it will most likely receive good exposure and I think it is of value to have an award voted for by consumers. I will however not be too certain about a possible winner of the ‘onion’ award…stiff competition there
look at the westbank car of the year award. this basically a collection of motoring journalists who vote for their idea of best car, etc.
myadsl is an improvement on this as its the largest community of broadband consumers in sa. the car of the year award built up over time.
eventually myadsl might even get a sponsor for the awards.....the Telkom MyADSL broadband awards...he he he he.
but i suggest the awards are linked to meaningfull catagories...a lot like the MTV awards, consumers choose the categories.
to make it noticable.....there should be more than one onion award.
possible categories (sorry if i'm repeating others ideas)
-best customer service, wireless service provider
-best customer service, fixed line service provider (there are almost two)
-best ISP
-best ISP customer service
-best customer representative on MyADSL
-worst customer service, wireless service provider
-worst customer service, fixed line service provider
-worst ISP
-worst ISP customer service
-worst contribution to broadband development in RSA
-best contribution to broadband development in RSA.
i'm sure there are more.
