I hang my head in shame because it sprang its evil tentacles from my country. Cell C is a joke, and we are, unfortunately, the punchline.<br /><br />Cell C represents all that is wrong with predatory capitalism. Its mere existence is a savage indictment on a sick society. I have experienced nothing but anguish and woe from moment I had the misfortune of stepping into its thicket of lies, advertising hype and false claims.<br /><br />Never again will I be so naive as to believe the blatant falsehoods propogated by its marketing department, or the mealy-mouthed nonchalance of its complaints department. Cell C worries about only one thing: maximisation of shareholder dividends in the short term, profit, profit and profit. That means exploiting customers and failing to deliver even a fraction of the promised service on its creaking mobile broadband network.<br /><br />What Cell C has apparently failed to realise is that not all of its duped customers are without teeth. Some of them are lawyers, and smell a class-action lawsuit for mass breach of contract. I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Just imagine all the frustrated speedstick users that would sign up in an instant - WHOOSH!<br /><br />Anyone keen on signing up, email me at slim_fandango@hotmail.com. I'm a lawyer. If we get enough names together, this could really be worth doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19139604.post-24445305208219880372011-06-06T09:21:42.931+02:002011-06-06T09:21:42.931+02:00Cell c has the worst customer service ive ever exp...Cell c has the worst customer service ive ever experienced, i swoped to them from vodacom because their cheaper but their network is always unreliable and their customer service is non existent, as long as cell c gets their customers money they couldnt care less about themAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19139604.post-23225044214563486092011-04-22T13:36:37.860+02:002011-04-22T13:36:37.860+02:00OMW you have said exactly how I feel about this pa...OMW you have said exactly how I feel about this pathetic company.

I decided to ditch Cell C for MTN. Oh, and of course when I ended my Cell C contract, they took FOUR MONTHS to end the contract. They took my money for FOUR MONTHS after I ended the contact. I let them know two months in advance to end it. But did they? I say everybody should just throw their Cell C products in the ocean and have a more peaceful life.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027229777663171623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19139604.post-41843719020459995532011-03-16T08:02:12.303+02:002011-03-16T08:02:12.303+02:00Lars, I would LOVE to discuss this problem with yo...Lars, I would LOVE to discuss this problem with you...LOVE LOVE LOVE to!!<br /><br />Unfortunately, you didn't leave me a way to get my details to you and your phone system is absolutely impenetrable.<br /><br />Let me know how to contact you and I'll give you my "coordinates" ASAP.Sweet Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321094659806702782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19139604.post-7634375368057162222011-03-15T20:49:43.148+02:002011-03-15T20:49:43.148+02:00@ Violet

It could not access new sites and could not update the cached sites, including email and FB. In order to get something to update, I had to shut down the stick, then re-boot it. For a few seconds...less than 10...immediately after reboot, the stick would run fast and download all the stuff I had been trying to download, like mail and such, then it would switch from WCDMA (apparently the fastest) to HSPA+Cell C which, it seems, is even slower than EDGE. In that few seconds of WCDMA, I'd get my downloads, after that, the stick was connected to the network, but data could not flow.<br /><br />Call tech support? Why? So I could be shuttled from pillar to post and asked for the Cell C phone number I do not have? To waste 90 minutes of air time (or Telkom charges) only to get no help at all, as in my last few (unsuccessful) attempts to get assistance from their "customer service" organization? <br /><br />Thanks to Cell C, my computer is little more than a very, very expensive door stop. I don't know how many times I will have to reboot that damned stick to get this comment to appear, but you can bet I will copy and paste it to a Word doc so it doesn't disappear into the ether while Cell C dithers, as so many emails and other messages have done in the past 3 months.<br /><br />I HATE this stick and now, because of their false advertising, crappy product and non-existent customer service, I HATE Cell C, too!Sweet Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321094659806702782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19139604.post-21903770242289749522011-03-01T16:22:45.852+02:002011-03-01T16:22:45.852+02:00mmmm, I thought a speed stick was a type of deoder...mmmm, I thought a speed stick was a type of deoderant?!
