Now, I am not talking about the board game, mind you.

It all started in my vain attempts to get hold of somebody at Multichoices customer service. All four numbers that I have for the people to whom I need to speak just ring and ring. In my frustration, I was going to threaten the company with cancelling my M-Net subscription, due to lack of customer service, but it struck me: there is nobody else to go to.

While we hope that the SNO will give Telkom a run for its money (when it eventually gets going), there is no alternative to M-Net and DSTV for entertainment purposes. Yes, there is the state broadcaster and e-TV but, lets face it, they do not compare.

So, I have a dilemma: sit and wait for someone to actually answer their phones, or cancel my subscription and go without Smallville, CSI, and Sunday night movies.

Decisions, decisions!

Found yet another monopoly? Want to start a monopoly? Want to play monopoly? Mail me:

(Ed's Note: I've been having the same problem with SAA's Voyager call centre. If anyone in the SAA IT department is reading this, I would /love/ to know when the airline plans to do something about its shocking call centre, useless Website, and non-existent customer service. /sam)
