OK so how long before Vodacon start spending their time and energy on more important matters like boosting their network performance further and customer service? :rolleyes:
 
Vodacom are exhibiting a complete lack of understanding as to what their priorities should be or what their customers are asking for... Oh and the Spy vs Spy pic = awesome
 
Can Cell C please lodge a complaint against "Red is Faster". Given that it is the exact same network, only with a lick of paint, how exactly is it faster? Where is the proof?
 
CellC is just having a laugh at Vodacom. I am too and I'm one of Vodacom's subscribers. They should have done something with their product offering with the rebrand.

At least I know where all that money is going from the gazillions they charge for their data bundles.

Vodacom is just sore because CellC actually makes a very pertinent point.
 
What a bunch of spoilsports. Cell C's adverts are great, and really doing nothing more than pointing out a few pertinent facts. Vodacom should rather concentrate on giving its customers better deals. A change of colour still doesn't hide the fact that it's a crap service provider.
 
I vowel never to move to vodacom and to think last year this time i would have been working for them :/
 
The whole Red campaign seems rushed and not well planned. The adds are idiotic and silly and feels like an afterthought by someone who had some spare time in the afternoon...
 
Won't change the fact that millions of people lol'd at the CellC ads. I doubt CellC cares...its like the Nanda's ads...first you get publicity for a hilarious ad and the you get another round of publicity when ASA shoots it down. I hope they continue Nando style and now put constant veiled references in their ads...maybe something about crayons....

I second that all the Vodacom Red Ads just seem like a first year audio visual student did them while CellC Ads are funny and actually make you smile at the end. South African companies are boring rather than trying to outsmart the other company with a better Ad they go cry to the OVERLORD.
 
Cell C is being very childish.be creative and find something else...also Cell C color was red before ..they have re-branded to Black as well.so stupid...
