Offlate, blogging has been poor. I used to apologise for that. These days, no more, for being a blogger means being a real person--and real life does get in the way. So let me just apologise just this once--just for good measure: my many apologies!;-)
On a very serious note, a number of issues have preoccupied me -no end. Let's start with our communications industry.
Poor Vodafone Ghana Lines
I don't know about you, but I have noticed that ever since Vodafone Ghana became entrenched in the country, its lines have been very poor. Last week, around 1.00am just as I was pretending to finish off some important reading, I got a text message that I can get discounts on 1,2,5,10,20 ghana cedi credit.
As if anyone buys 10,20 ghana cedi ONETOUCH credit! Heard of the global credit crunch by any chance?
I shrugged, cancelled the text, and promptly went to sleep--not without ruminating over some Vodafone Ghana experiences the previous week. The first involved calling a Facebook Belgian friend, who was unable to hear me when I spoke with her on my ONETOUCH line, but could hear better on the MTN number. Ditto with BBC World Have Your Say on Madagascar, when I texted the BBC to have them call me (standard procedure) to make some noise about the usual regional integration stuff. I podcasted myself--as it were--by recording the piece on my digital recorder. I was appalled with the playback: a good part of it was inaudible, with the line breaking at intervals of thirty seconds. Thank you Vodafone Ghana! You came into the country to do what, exactly?? The erstwhile ONETOUCH was so much better!
I hate to say this, but off-late, the execrable-performing MTN has been performing less badly than ONETOUCH!

In your opinion, which phone company is better? I used MTN before and I cant say it was too bad. Then you have Zain. I think they have to be hands down the worst company ever....at least in my opinion.
Hi Anonymous, am not sure which one is the best right now. It's more a matter of how many of your friends and relatives are on a network?
I abhor MTN's services, but see that if I need to contact colleagues, friends, acquaintances, that's the best to use on account of prohibitive interconnectivity rates.
I would say ONETOUCH and ZAIN are the least bad, though ONETOUCH has been disappointing off-late:-(
