Vodacom acting like Telkom. How stupid do you think we are?

Comments 30 June 2008


Hang on, Telkom owns 50% of Vodacom. The bandwidth they’re (vodacom) charging us an arm and a leg for is being stolen to push idiotic Vodacom banners in our browsers. Screw you guys. Thank you. Come again. Read more about how Vodacom are stealing from us:

Thanks to Andre Fourie for Sentient Communications for alerting me to this. Hey Vodacom how about stopping the Telkom act and encourage/stimulate innovation.

Vodacom stop killing your income tomorrow, by protecting business models of yesterday, today.
