Telkom proclaims ADSL vindication
- Thread starter antowan
- Start date
Good day fellow members
I believe there is a way of ensuring that only ADSL users can vote and also a method for making sure that there is only one vote per account. I am looking into ways of doing this. I will report back on this ASAP. If I find a solution I will make it available for testing purposes on a site under my control. RPM can then use it later for official MyADSL polls. If anybody else here has a solution, please post it here…
Cheers

Sounds Good. Cant wait. Perhaps MYADSL can send out a general mail to members when this becomes available.

"based on a significant sample of 790 ADSL clients"
I'm sorry, but 8% of the ADSL population is in fact less than the total members of MyADSL... which means we ARE a significant amount of people who are dissatisfied, and <b>not</b> a <b>minority</b> after all.
Wake up White, go back to school - not the one you were at though they did you a disservice. I should have your job, cos you put your foot in your mouth more often than George W! Clown.

From a selfish point of view, this survey does not take into account people like me who would like adsl, but cannot afford the unusually high cost of the "service", and are also put off by the overwhelming evidence of an all-round poor service.

Interesting ...... [8D]
Could not find anything about this at 3Dglobal.co.za or docweb.co.za.
Must have been some private affair where the sponsors award themselves but could not get enough of a crowd to cheer them on [

I believe the audit should be oen to all and sundry who request it. As per usual, and I speak from experience, Telkom will and have in the past used their might to influence state sponsored views / audits.
Maybe someday we will have telco provider who do what all semi state organisations should be doing and that is to service the needs of the population they serve to the best of their abilities.
There is a rason why the banks have been using satellite comms..

I cross questioned one of our customers who operates a POSTNET franchise. They have ADSL and ISDN, which they kept because they were not sure that the ADSL would work reliably. Mainly because Telkom would not gaurantee the service. Also the sales pitch from Telkom was that it was a "POOR MAN'S SERVICE" and that although they could have it, it was not really suitable for business use.
I then asked how it was when they reached there CAP. they looked at me blankly and asked, "what is that". I briefly explained, but as far as they were concerned, they had never hit it and as they explained, there customers had to pay for the time spent on the PC, so they never spent more than ten minutes on at a time.
Now for Telkom this must be an ideal customer. Hardly uses the service, closes at five everyday, don't have to gaurantee any degree of reliability, insult them by calling them CHEAPSKATES for installing ADSL and lastly they charge him more than the home user. Isn't it amazing what Telkom can get away with.
BUT THAT'S A SATISFIED CUSTOMER, according to TELKOM.
