Alright, a bit of basic background here I'm a 'net nerd and consider the internet a vital service along with water and electricity. Also for those of you that don't know ISP stands for Internet Service Provider; as in the people you pay money to and in return they give you an internet connection (and in Australia are generally all fairly sucky and poor value).
Now last year I moved, and my new exchange was ADSL2+ (fast cheap internet) enabled, I was a fool and didn't check this until after I'd transferred my old standard ADSL account across (hey, I had an awful lot on my mind). So I thought, well it'll cost me money to break my 12 month contract I'll just sit it out and then when it expires I'll switch. 11 months and about 3 weeks later we find ourselves at today, a few weeks back all the ports for ADSL2+ at my exchange filled up (talk about bad timing) but to make matters even more annoying after emailing my ISP and telling them "Hey, look my contract's almost over and I don't want to sign up again" they tell me I needed to give them 30 days notice! Wait, WHAT‽
I thought the whole point of my contract expiring was that our agreement ends, I stop giving you money; you stop giving me internet. So I can either go on for another month (out of contract) or I can pay a cancellation fee and get out at the end of my contract; something I could have done from the start, back when it would have got me my desired ADSL2+.

The whole situation at this point is sucky, particularly when I look and realize that had I have known this say a month or more ago, I could have actually got ADSL2+

Its always about consumerism. All these big corporations see is dollar signs. They don't care about what they give you as long as the get lots of money... Greedy bastards

Spose this is internet related. But my room mate used up 40gb of internet usage in 10 days so now our whole house has 3-4 computers to a dial up connection speed.
