jammed

so Timor Telecom really sucks..... it sent out this message on 17th October promising a 100% recharge value for anyone who tops up their pulsa on the day - to celebrate its anniversary . what do you know? the telephone lines got so badly jammed up the ENTIRE day and night that i could not even call people at all. I had to sms to stay in touch the entire day and by the evening, smses were coming back to me about 4 hours delayed. Needless to say, the 2 forlorn $10 cards i bought still cannot be recharged (it's 930am on 18th October!)SCAM i say! TT - if you intend to give something to the people, make sure your bandwidth is sufficient! There were also hordes of people jampacked at TT shops yesterday as they got the news that only pulsa charged up at the shop got the one-on-one offer. so you can imagine the mayhem TT set off. interestingly, during the 2006 crisis when things went haywire, the sms service was still better than yesterday's dismal performance. So TT what happened???

Arrghh.... the bane of monopoly!
