I agree:
  1. They're not even close to "second", they're LAST;
  2. They're everything but "national", maybe LOCAL IN SOME ISOLATED AREAS; and
  3. They can't be seriously regarded as an "operator".
 
How long has Neotel been operating in South Africa? And now they choose to rebuff the SNO label? Talk about coming from left field.
 
So what is your purpose then NeoFail? We have enough Cellular / Wireless providers we don't have enough fixed line providers. So what was your plan? Having no plan is not really a plan at all.
 
Bastards. Neotel just pack your bags and F OFF where ever you came from. You not needed in this country.

History being rewritten.

But I remember what happened before the coming of Nee-Tel.

Re-writing history seems to be the order of the day in SA these days...

Take a look at the first line of the Wikipedia article about Neofail:

Neotel (Pty) Ltd., previously SNO Telecommunications, is the much anticipated second national operator (SNO) for fixed line telecommunication services in South Africa.

You could see where people got the idea that they were the SNO, seeing as it used to be their name ffs!
 
:wtf: Well if they don't want to be a SNO then they should just leave, we don't want k@k services from an Orange like yourselfs. You give oranges a bad name FFS. :mad:

Yeah, why didn't you mention this in the begining then everyone would have known what to expect but noooo you choose to stay silent and ride the wave.

Now the wave crashed and you with it.
 
Deloitte & Touche warns in its auditors’ report that Neotel’s “recurring losses and shareholders’ deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern”.
The annual report shows Neotel’s debt is mounting, too. Net debt stood at R5,3bn at the 2010 financial year-end in March, up from R3,1bn a year earlier. Shareholders’ deficit, also known as negative shareholders’ equity, climbed from R782m in 2009 to R1,7bn in 2010.

I think there might be a silver lining to this. Tata will eventually realize that Neotel is a money pit and when they do liquidate the company. In the ensuing fire sale companies like mweb and celc can pick up the current network at next to nothing prices and we will be the eventual winners.
 
Hay said that at launch Neotel made it clear that they are not the second national operator, but rather the country’s first converged telecoms company.
