If you look at ICASA as a body thats actually done some good - then its important to also send them signs of support, so that they know we're appreciating what they did - and to help them maybe NOT blink, or back down from what they know is right.
Even if it costs the temporary disruption or closure of ADSL in SA.
The long term picture is the big thing to focus on. I dont mind going back to dialup, because Telkom have pulled ADSL from the market - and are en route to being smashed into a thousand pieces.
I've sent through a letter to ICASA, (

showing my support for them - as I think they really need huge quantities of consumers messages helping them stand firm in the face of Telkom's threats.
and I think we all need to send our own letters through to them.
Maybe it wont help them stand firm - but maybe, just maybe, if there's a deluge of positive letters emails and calls from YOU - they'll find the strength to stick by their guns.
If it means Telkom 'take their toy back' - ie: close down ADSL. Fine. So be it. That's not a good enough reason to let Telkom continue as they are.
If Telkom DO shut down ADSL - then its bringing matters to a head - and its only a matter of time , before they're legislated out of existence - or at least, out of being the only company in charge of our Internet.
