Lets use sentech against themselves! Coverage of cricket games always includes the showing of the crowd's banners and posters during the game. Next time you go to watch the game live make a huge banner stating how sentech lies to the consumer. This if course will only help if sentech's service still sucks by the time the cricket season is here. If possible, try getting a bigass banner waving around at a currie cup match.

another thing worth a shot would be to print thousands of anti sentech flyers and pay a couple of peeps to hand them out at robots. If we can't save ourselves then we might as well try and save the ones not infected by this virus.
 
i think we might all be getting a bit carried away with this now. We should all just calm down and stick to the basics.Maybe for those who are totally upset with sentech try speak to higher management and get your contract canceled.
I am not totally satisfied with sentech but it only began last year november so they could still pull things together.

If we are not carefull we my damage sentech totally and then bye bye sentech and hello hellkom.You cant tell me you prefer hellkom to sentech?

Lets have a vote on the forum to see just how many want their contracts canceled and those who are unhappy and willing to stay with sentech?
Good idea or bad idea?

Glory Glory Man United!
 
I never got to use telkom before really ... but is it really worse than this? Atleast speed wise, comparing a 512 package to adsl, which is better? When you pass the 3gig cap on telkom, how slow does it get then ?
 
Inevitable....go answer the phone..... we need an Orc online

Sorry couldn't resist......... the service sucks and they should "OFFER" to release people from the contracts not treaten to sue our asssesss and financially cripple us.....

Tell you what next time you open a beer and it has 20ml of beer in it AND YOU ACCEPT IT......then you are the fool .... trust me SAB would replace it with a case of beer and NOT THREATEN LEGAL ACTION....

Yes i am having a **** day ....YEHAAA
 
I have spoken to Sentech and they were willing to cancel my service. I declined this... I will rather fight to get the service promised.

I WANT Sentech to succeed. We as a country NEED them to succeed.

So, I'll keep being vocal, keep bitching, keep phoning, keep opening tickets.....
 
The reason for them accepting cancellation is somewhat different ... I was initially covered on the maps and marked as GOOD coverage. they then moved the transmitters
 
I personally dont know anything about sport (apart from sumo wrestling and contact karate - dont ask :) - but my point is, if there're any big games coming up, I think the crowd need some nice big
SENTECH SUCKS!!
signs - just to bypass all the filters, and censorship preventing us 1% - 5% from expressing ourselves and being heard clearly.

So you sports nuts, make some signs and held them suckers up for the camera's - and do it cheerfully, knowing that sentech paid tens of thousands of rands for their deceptive TV ads, whereas you paid under fifty bucks for paint and cardboard, to reach the same audience and target market :)..

Bad companies should die, regardless. Artificially keeping them alive is like rewarding their bad behaviour and they'll just carry on, then we'll be stuck with bad companies forever. We might be worse off in the short term (stuck with Telkom for a while longer), but in the longer run we will be better off if let the bad companies die and wait for better ones to spring up in their place. If we support bad companies though, and let them become big and rich and powerful, there will be no room in the market later on for better companies to edge in (e.g. look at the cellphone market). Long-term, that's worse. (I'm thinking the way telecomms licenses are issues is fundamentally flawed, even when we do 'the right thing' to create competition, we do it in a way that prevents competition from really occurring, e.g. Vodacom and MTN. The problem is we only issue one or two licenses at a time ... this just allows cartels to naturally form. The industry should be totally deregulated, with each company left to fend for itself. With dozens of competitors, competition is enforced, and truly the best companies can survive. Now you give out one license, and wait a few years while the company gets big and fat (and friendly with existing telcos). There is effectively no competition because the existing companies know that their market is protected from entry by "unknown competitors" (since no other competitors can even enter the market without another "license" being issued, a long process). If licenses were dished out like candy, then ANY company could become a competitor AT ANY TIME - to the existing telcos, that would mean competitors could "come out of nowhere" and so the existing companies would have to keep on their toes and become "paranoid" to survice. Right now, competitors can't "come out of nowhere" at all, it takes years just for a new one to get through the process of entering the market. So there is no competition "fear factor" for the existing telcos. One 'SNO' is NOT ENOUGH, and isn't going to solve our Telkom problems ... they should just toss it all up in the air and let DOZENS of telcos enter the market, and "let the best few win".)
 
Guys just keep in mind that there are a lot of happy customers with Sentech and its probably the majority. Personally, at the moment, Im getting good service and have no desire or intention to cancel my contract (I wish it were cheaper though but thats another story) and even less intention to use Telkom for any kind of service whatsoever. Just the fact that they paid their CEO R14mil last year and he probly made all those k@k decisions like the ADSL stuff and the 10% cutbacks makes Hellkom worse than Sentech.

Its really a losing battle since there are probly about 100 or so MyWi users in the forum and only about 5 or 10 are regularly having problems. The rest are keeping very quiet.. anyone notice how ProAsm doesnt post anymore? But yesm they definitely need to jack things up a bit and just plain quit with this 4.26kilobitspersecond cr@p. Thats just no excuse - they may as well say 0 kbps. They really have no cooking clue about this CR stuff. This whole "you are sharing your 128 with 29 people" is total BS. IF that were true then how could most of us on 128 see speeds above 14KB/sec now and then.
 
Turtle, thats just the way our lovely so-called democratic country is run. So much for correcting the problems of the past.. it was pretty much like this &gt; 10 years ago. Telkom is a crap company but the government is to blame. They dont quite understand the growth availability if markets were deregulated. Look how well the cellphone companies have done.. and they are running on the no-competition model.

There is just no real intelligence in the running of tech industries in this country. The think the world is still run by precious metals. One day they will realise that IT and telcos are the current driving force. [/end_political_rant]
