Actually, if Sentech (or, in light of what they did, Sucktech) got some real management (as opposed to the damagement monkeys they now have in charge) they could get to be relevant in the marketplace again ..yes, yes, heresy I know but it IS possible!
IMO, if they were to:
- first and foremost at LEAST bring the speeds up from this laughable and lamentable 256kb/s to the current baseline of 1MB/s and seeing as the desktop modems we use are good for 3Mb/s downlink, this should need no more than changing a setting on the hardware. Of course, bringing it up to the 1.5Mb/s mark would be a nice kick-sand-in-the-face to at least one competitor, but that's another matter entirely
- that said, bring the cost factors in line with the market state ..or to at least within (no more than) 10% of the competition; this goes for in- and out of bundle.
- they clearly have the wherewithall to redefine usage levels, as evidenced by the old 'Classic' packages so-o-o if they (HAH!) really got on the ball, they could offer an entirely different package structure to the rest of the market ..and THIS time bloody-well police it properly, with capping working the way it should. (of course we have more of a chance of seeing a unicorn mate in mid-flight with a pig than seeing this happen, but still...)
Anyhow, just some blue-sky musing ..I'm going to go back to being cynical and curmudgeonly (specially on this subject) again.
