Telkom has never been a top brand, other than in some paid-for publication. Their public image has always been up to maggots, and personally I feel it always will be.
In fact whenever I see their green and blue logo infesting an perfectly good wall/page/telephone/webpage I get a loathing hateful feeling on the inside.
I do not dislike telscum, I HATE them.
Now Mr. Giles Shepherd tell me how telscum can EVER recover their brand in my eyes?
what a joke. Telkom has had a monopoly in fixed-line telecoms, so in real terms they are in 'top' position, but at the same time also in 'bottom' place!
The minute we have a viable alternative I will be taking my business away from Telkom. They don't deserve any customers at all the f&$%*ers.
If telkom think they have some dissatisfied customers...
Over the past few months I've met quite a few telkom workers. Notice I said workers, not employees. The guys that work in the telkom shops, the poor sumbitches that install your ADSL line etc. The ones at the sharp end of the stick that telkom pokes you with.
Now If you think nobody can hate telkom more than you.. Get to know one of those people and hear their stories. They hate telkom even more than you but they keep quiet about it because their jobs are on the line.
I stil lhave to meet a telkom "worker" that actually likes the company
