We hate Telkom

[bekdik]

Luckily I'm already with CellC. For my internet connection that will change as soon as the new operator is avialible.

but they use Vodacom's infrastructure

I heard Cell C carries 75% of their out data/voice... not to sure how true that is. Im sure when Virgin arrives, that will all change fairly quickly. We know Branson does take ****.

T-Mobile carries the Virgin Mobile traffic in the UK. It's unlikely Virgin will want to bear the costs of running a network so they'll most likely negotiate with one of the existing network operators i.e. MTN, Vodacom or Cell C

My personal pet Hates:
1. SARS
2. Telkom
3. Local Traffic Dept

The existence of SARS narrowly saves Telkom from being No. 1

They are teaming up with Cell C. I think Cell C will get the cash injections that they need, to carry 100% of their own voice and data.

Actually (hahaha - you're going to love this!!) using Telkom services is like paying tax twice. Since the government is a major (29% ?) shareholder of Telkom and they continue to protect Telkom's monopoly status by dragging their feet on the SNO, they get their hands on a lot of Telkom's profits. So, you pay tax, and then you pay Telkom. Double taxes!!

And you pay VAT on your already inflated Telkom account - triple TAX.
And then tax is payed on dividends from Telkom shares = quadruple TAX.
and then CGT is paid when disposing of the shares - quintuple TAX.

gotta love Telkom
