Dear Editor,
GT&T has been installing a new antenna service on the Essequibo Coast. The system is inefficient, phone calls are distorted, contact is lost during conversations, fax services are inadequate and internet services are unreliable at most times. Overseas international call reception is a source of stress. Broken conversations and disconnection follows, and customers still receive bills for unsuccessful calls.
The public phone booths are sometimes out of order; one particular phone booth in Anna Regina is sometimes without power because the power is turned off by the businessman from whose premises the electricity supply is given to the phone booth.
The people of Essequibo Coast are disgusted and stressed out with the miserable phone service in this modern era of technology and would appreciate it if the relevant authorities acted immediately to provide the better telecommunication service that is needed in this present time when technology is moving apace. Come on GT&T, is it because there is no competition that Essequibians are deprived of a more modernized telecommunications system?
Yours faithfully,
Harrinarine Singh
Editor’s note
We are sending a copy of this letter to Ms Allison Parker, the PRO of GT&T for any comments she might wish to make.
This malady persisted since the sixties.The problem is this. GPL and the telephonre companies are doing shoddy work, using the cheapest materials.Nobody is inspecting them for quality control.That is why a little rain storm causes a power outage and phone lines dead.We might have to return to the crank phones of the sixties.
Harinarine what happen wid de PPP 17 years later and they still aint fix the phone, water problems, electricity, the economy, the social fabric of the country what else they aint fix?
actually the answer with the least answers may be what have they fixed?
What has the PPP done in 17 years? where is all the glory they hath brought to the land and the people? please my people show me I am all eyes and all ears show me what glorious wonders has the PPP brought us?
Psydium is looking for you Brandon
Thanks Caesar. This BS character is slippery and hiding like hell these days. He is no longer sporting Old Glory next to his name. He recently switched to the Maple Leaf. Slipping and sliding away and he refuses to answer questions on his Alliance For Cucumberheads.
So BS,
After 28 years of the PNC and 17 years of the PPP, you bring us one indoctrinated flunkie from the PNC and one from the PPP and call that change. What is your idea of change? Shuffling the deck is not change. Word on the web is that Biswattie Ramsawak is really Khemraj Ramjhaatan. Do shed some light on this and tell us he has not take on such an identity, please do.
sodium aka sase i love your essays, 17 years later what are the big aces in the hole that your ppp has deliverd?
Nothing nada bupkas, all they have delivered is a hotel loan to buddys to build a hotel and repay the tax payer wid hotel room and eggball for govt officials.
Berbice bridge is a big floating fraud, no pensioner can get their pensions now because NIS is bankrupt. come 2011 you are gonna sure find out why your poo poo poo has failed the people of this country.
Hey how is ramsammy and the lie detector test coming along?
SH BS,
There you go again. Your paranoia has finally destroyed whatever little sanity you had left. Take it easy now. Think hard. I am not Sase. I am as black as a psydium. I am not and never was a PPP supporter. PNC is a part of my DNA but I am foremost a big Guyana supporter. So is Biswattie Ramsawak really Khemraj Ramjhaatan? Come BS, tell us.
Here is some progress and growth that you can choke on:

BS,
You mouth finally ran away from your brain. Your eyes deserted your mouth and brain a long time ago. That explains why there is such incongruence in what you see, what you say, and what you think.
