I am leaving this forum, thank you to all the users who contributed. And good luck to all the frustrated, confused, angry, depressed and down-right suicidal users.

Can I just ask one question to vodacom? Man to man (if there is any man left in that corporate beast).

Please provide an adequate online-support on your www.vodacom.co.za website. Including the explanation of NAT'ed IP's and a checklist of 'to-dos' to unrestrict your internet access. So we can know who is in the wrong. Us or you?

Why do we, the users, have to learn machine code and hex just to get this right?

I ask once, I ask once before I launch the most savage attack on vodacom ever seen, especially against our beloved dream ceo.

(("Dream visit for CEO"- Cant he fix the internet before he goes galavanting around?.))

Thank you,
regards,
annoyed user. (yes another one. take the hint yet?)

It sounds like you're implying that the rest of us Vodacom customers that frequent this forum, are wasting our time - which is quite insulting to say the least.

Obviously I recommend that you stay a while longer, but it's ultimately your choice.

Perhaps you might consider posting an elightening contribution in the following thread before you depart:

After we explained to you how NAT works, what's next? How to make a latte? How to pick the correct underwear? Three easy ways to loose weight? Autocad in 21 days?

Concepts like NAT are a function of the relevant discipline (the Internet Protocol stack, in this case). But then you need to know it's a dicipline in the first place....:rolleyes:

Maybe some self-education would help? Instead of blaming others for your lack of knowledge.

Just a thought....:rolleyes:

I always smile at the fine-print on these weight loss products:

1)Take one of these 'special weight loss' tablets per day, for the next 6 weeks.
2) Eat nothing for the 6 weeks - only drink water.
3) Run 20 Km's per day.

We guarantee you'll loose weight. Thus the tablets work. Hallelujah!

Same thing we observed whilst watching Biggest Loser.

They advertise some slimming powders and stuff - but the fine print says "...with a balanced diet..."

So it won't help if you still eat KFC, Steers etc, and expect the powders and stuff to help you lose weight... :rolleyes:

Nutrition happens to be one of my pet subjects (not that I practice anything I preach...:rolleyes:)

But what freaks me out is how people always comes up with these 'miracle cures', which obviously never works....

It's very simple: 'Energy Intake' - 'Energy Expended' = Resultant Loss or Gain.

You stick a Big Mac down your throat (with extra fries and a super-size soda) and if you don't spend 3 hours on the treadmill, you will pick up weight....
 
For v3g, the king pawn.

Vodacom 3g, its not my fault im not a nerd like you. I wasnt born with a wire-less mouse in my mouth... And whoo you getting real defensive about how ****te your pathetic company is at providing reliable internet...

Im sure many companies would love to have you around... Not me though, your snivelling makes me queazy.

The only time I am prepared to eat Macdonalds is if I need something quick to eat before visiting the friendly blood suckers, and I hate those French fries they sell - always with too much salt added, so I only order a double cheese burger for <R10 and that does the trick.

No one expects you to be a super-guru on anything (except common sense maybe).

But it's for sure not unreasonable to expect you to ask before you come out here, guns blazing.....as you noticed in the other thread, there was actually an answer for what you commented on.

Much easier to ask and then when you're sure of your facts, comment, than the situation where you're in; making an unfounded statement, just to have a number of people point it out....a bit embarrassing, don't you think?
 
The basis of MyBroadband forums, including this one, is open discussion that is constructive and based on reasoning, sometimes there are posts that are neither constructive nor factual, which makes it impossible to help.

As for the rant-type posts, where someone is simply letting off steam and has no expectation of finding a solution [usually characterised by a lack of symptoms & problem details - pre-paid|contract, bearer network, etc], I don't have a problem with such posts, but when <added>someone</added> strips their moer bcos they expected help and provided no useful info, well there is IMO no point in even posting a reply in such threads.

You gotta love those fries! So small and tiny and bite size, easy to gobble down when you're hungry... :rolleyes:

vodacom3g, check out this article:

Saw this guy on Larry King this week, I think I'm on his side.

I also support the macro-nutrient balance as per the Paleolithic diet theory, but never forget energy is energy.

So, you first look at calories and then at macro nutrient percentages. If you eat like 3 cavemen, you're going to be the size of 3 cavemen!

BTW, this guy is claiming a lot of 'research' that people like Holford published 20 years ago.

Felt like that a couple of times over the past few weeks but don't think I'm "that" technically inclined. :p
