THEIR FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT INTERNET DOES NOT FUCKING WORK. NEVER BUY A PLAN FROM THEM, EVER. At least 2-3 times a week, the damned thing will just stop fucking working. I have to turn the modem off for a fucking hour for the connection to reset. BASTARDS.

And now, they're hitting me with, "You've gone over your quota so you get capped back to 28.8KB/sec".

YOU ARE MOTHERFUCKERS. I AM GOING TO KILL YOU. EVERY LAST FUCKING ONE OF YOU. AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah, my experiences with Telstra are horrible too... I really do urge people to stay away. Their support is horrible; when I rang them about an issue, I spoke to about 16 different people, half of which talked to me like they had a sharp object up their ass and I was the one who put it there, and heard about 4 different answers/responses that didn't correspond with what the others said. When I requested a change in the account that required the disconnection and reconnection of the line, they disconnected my line without reconnecting it. I rang them back 2-3 days later and was told (after about the 6th spokesperson - having heard 'we have no record of you asking us about anything like this' from the rest) that they thought I wanted them to disconnect the line completely instead of doing the action that required the disconnection and reconnection of the line. YUP. And I had to pay a fee of $99 to reconnect the line again - a fee that would have been waived with the action I actually intended upon! In short, their support and customer call centre is horrible.

use a telstra land line. and dont use more. telstra has the best landline offers and are better providers in that aspect. anything else they suck... they're actually in discussion about ditching mobile communications coz they're being slaughtered by the competition. they're currently rearranging internet policies, plans and pricing to hopefully get more business - they have a very unpromising idea, that will bring back dial up...an effort to make them more money...but of course, we'll see telstra go under as telstra are hitting the red too often...

What I just talked about was with a landline. It's not the actual service I was referring to, however great their offers may be, it's about the support. I'd rather pay a bit more in order to be able to get help from someone who can tell the difference between "change account details" and "disconnect my service" and who didn't seem as though they were in fat camp and I was one of their instructors refusing to give them cake.

...optus sucks too.
They've got a screwed up way to calculating a phone bill..
THE CONTRACT WAS 49 DOLLARS A MONTH!
First month, its 106.. ok, er?
"Service fees, mada'am!"
Ok.. thats semi- acceptable.
Next month - 145?

ive been through a similar problem to that- except i was moving house..

also.. quite a few of their call centres are in india or pakistan or whatever... i know coz my dad rang at least a dozen of them and got nowhere. im still with bigpond.. it occasionally stuffs up but its been fine..

mobile services are pretty good with them because they have the most coverage biggrin.gif:D:D

Yeah, I support Telstra for mobile support and to some extent landlines, but never, ever, EVER would i recommend their internet. They're just to big and will push you around and give poor deals because they know that there are people out there who will still subscribe to it because they know telstra and thus they trust them *pupils cartwheel*
For internet my current recommendations are Internode or Netspace, haven't used either of them myself but both have glowing reports from people I trust to know about this stuff and appear to have some pretty good deals.

The internet cafe i worked had a bad net connection, random disconnect and dropouts. some days it wouldnt work at all.

the customer service was the best part. if i called at 4pm to figure something out they would just keep me on hold till 5, then say call back tomorrow during office hours, and if you needed to speak to a technical guy, you have to call between 11pm and 7am, cos that is the only time they are in the building.........SHEER BRILLIANCE.
