Most days I’m just despondent about Telkom, the incompetent government-owned debacle company that afflicts all us in this country. The rates that are 2000% higher than comparative countries. The 6-month waiting list. The call-centre that never answers the phone. The fact that even when they look like idiots by having a mobile service cheaper than them, they still don’t drop their prices. Sigh, all in a days work with Telkom.
And some days I’m furious.
Luckily I don’t deal with them that much, as I’ve vowed never to spend a cent with them again. But occasionally I have to try fix up a legacy mess, and thanks to their utter incompetence, there’re quite a few of those.
Let’s not go into the details of what Telkom did today to make the connection between themselves and hell, making an eternity of being prodded by a burning pitchfork seem a more pleasant experience than dealing with them.
Instead, I had a little thought. Perhaps we could Google-bomb things so that that the natural destination, Hellkom, appears above the debacle’s company’s actual home page when doing a Google search for the term Telkom.
Simply link to Hellkom a lot, even when you’re linking to Telkom. Simple really!
Oh, and even though both Helkom and Hellkom are valid domains, rather use Hellkom. It makes the point more clearly, and it’s already got a higher ranking.
Hey Ian I’m in. I already started doing that in my last Telkom post – http://blog.colindaniels.co.za/?p=135
Ah, the collective unconcious has moved online
THIEVES STOLE TELKOM CABLE AND LEFT IT ON MY PLOT. I CONTACTED TELKOM TO TAKE THEIR CACLE AND THEY HAVE NEVER COME.
TELKOM MUST WAKE UP AND COME AND FETCH THEIR RUBBISH.
