Telkom calls off Cell C acquisition talks

Chevron said:
Think long term. Vodacom and MTN have huge wallets. A price war would only bankrupt those with the smallest pockets and we're left with less competition. Hence why Telkom buying Cell C would have been great for us as consumers.

Now I get it, thanks for that.

TM did away with a product (TM only) and introduced a new product (All Networks). Still didn't rise contract prices mid contract... :whistle:

TM didn't just charge a few bucks more, they more than doubled the price of data.

So what's your point? Cell C's "promos" have been going for ages and keep getting cheaper. ;)

Good for them.

TBH I don't particularity care about product pricing when it is in a thread like this.

The reason why the deal fell through has got nothing to do with it.

Prepaid, wasn't a contract.

/not that I see the point of arguing with Cell C fanboi who won't admit Cell C can do something wrong, but I napped all afternoon, so I can go all night

Oh no, what TM was did wrong, why didn't they keep TM and All Networks separate? That's crap.

I give them grief on many threads. I pester the TM contact on here, forwarding every crap service thread I find and then asking them what they doing about it, then the TM retards don't get that someone else posted the thread and that they can't help ME, because that's what the then try to do first.

VC Fanboi at most... Cell C fanboi can't even admit Cell C was first with raising contract prices mid contract. So basically, all I think is that no one should believe a single thing you say regarding Cell C, doesn't matter if its true, they should get a second opinion..

Thanks for agreeing with my point. And that is what I was saying. Cell C continually reduced data prices while TM has shown a trend of not competing. A merger would have been bad. So take your fanboi accusations crap elsewhere.

Still don't see you saying Cell C mid contract increases were bad and that they were the first to have done it (which they shouldn't have had to do for any reason, since you contend their corporate debt levels are not that bad)...

It's not about what's bad. It's about TM having a trend of not competing. Get it?
 
And btw, if you look at my comments you'll see I never had a problem with raising contract prices by a small margin. It's when operators like Vodacom who doesn't have a reasonable cancellation option raise prices that I have a problem.

If you had said Telkom I may agree with you, but by specifying TM you are now speaking rubbish.

Yes from 120GB to 50GB and I'm speaking rubbish. :rolleyes: I can see your fanboi bias.
