Thats just pure fraud by a public company :eek:. Speaks volumes about their integrity (or lack thereof). Should we actually be surprised by this action - I don't think so. Will ICASA do anything about this - I dont think so - Are we surprised by ICASA's action (or inaction) - I dont think so. - Enough waffle from me. :cool: :p
 
More and more little lies from them. With all the previous events in the making over the last 2 weeks, is this not showing us that telkom are truely lying and miss leading the country.
 
LOL! This sounds exactly like what a student would do, if your not in a mood to do assignment yourself you copy the original work and just change it a bit. The guy in charge was probably too lazy and decided to just copy and paste and change the data a bit.

These figures don't mean much anyway, even the first set was probably cooked.
 
What value does access to this kind of information add to my life? None!! :mad:

Why the hell did ICASA not specifiy the:

1. Maximum packet loss
2. Minimum latency
3. Maximum jitter

and then instruct Telkom to comply... :mad:

Telkom can give whatever they want, even bad performance stats, just as long as they publish something every Q...:eek: What stupidity we have in ICASA.

The ICASA regulations are a waste of time!!!
 
This most certainly does nothing to build confidence in Telkom's integrity and shows an utter disregard for their stated mission of client focus. Until management at Telkom realise that the only way to achieve greatness is total honesty and tranparency our only hope seems to be in competition. My regret is that currently the available competition are not doing much better.
 
Maybe the network is just so damn rock solid that it gives EXACTLY the same results every time....

How much variance do we expect :confused:

Personally I would expect either no change -> same level of crappy service

OR

Improved performance stats -> better level of crappy service :D

No, it is what a stupid student would do. Even the thickest dumbo in first year physics knows that you have to fudge what you copy if you want to avoid getting caught. Congrats TELKOM: not only lazy and dishonest, but stoodpid to boot.
 
One day statistics...... Useless...... Unless they release it every day which they don't.
Naturally the Icasa regulation had more holes than a sponge, so Telkom nicely sidestepped this again.
 
Doesn't the quote go, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"?

Point is, isn't it possible that the employees in Telkom mistakenly used the march stats for the latest release, but then used the august stats for the march report?

It is indeed possible, but what is strange is that the latest stats were released first (which were the same as the Fed stats), then after a day or two the ‘new’ Feb stats came out. Both xsl docs are dated the same (Feb 16 2007) which does not help much…
 
My guess is they spent a day creating a few xsl files with different stats...

and some moron just published the same one as last time.
 
in other words Telkom(media) lies! well have lied again/still have your pick and of course nothing can/will be done about this.

The time is the same down to the same minute, which to me indicates the possibility that the old stats file was used as a template in order to save time.

The creation date for the PDF, on the other hand, is on the 11th July 2007. The title of the PDF is, "27390487_KPI's Pkt Loss_Latency_Jitter (3-4 Jul 2007)".
