Spark

[Naki Rat]

Telescum in disquise. Mr Moutter (http://www.radionz.co.nz/audio/player/2586538) seems to have a limited repertoire of positive words :lol:
And aren't sparks usually present just before something catches fire!

[mashman]

The digital era... so important, so vital........ they're gonna need an up to date, upbeat theme tune for launch.

Superb!
Another excuse to "rebrand", so that the consultants, designers, et al, can wallow around in the money trough some more.

Glad I'm not with Tell-lie-con.

[bluninja]

Is this a way to get people to leave without a package? Imagine being called Sparklers, or Sparklies at work :) "Mout the boot" should stick with what he knows best; cutting the workforce.

Haha remember kids the quality of a service or product is paramount and is essentially why technology and new systems were adopted to improve the end result...after the bottom line of course and restructure,redundancy,downsize,outsource,centrali se and cutbacks.

Mr Moutter is hilarious...if him and his ilk had any common decency they'd cut their own throats shaving.

Gen-i has been rebranded, "Spark Digital Solutions".

Dumb name for a dumb company... 'Telescum' is a better name alright...

It seems like this has been sitting on the shelf ready to go for a while, given that the new name seems to go with the scribbly asterisk logo they've had since 2009.

[James Deuce]

Does this mean we call Telecom and Gen-i workers, "sparkies" now?

[Latte]

Sounds a bit startup/trendy/hipster , should have been called ACME , or Very Big Corporation etc

[James Deuce]

I think I shall call them "Sparkles".

Why bother calling them at all? they never actually fix their fuckups.

I have to interface with Sparkles quite often. I think it will be a wizard wheeze.

They will be happy to lose the name Gen-i-talians

[KiwiGeek]

I spoke to a Gen-i person yesterday. She agreed it was a stupid name. But but then again it is just another stupid move by a corrupt company that has no clue about customer service.

It was funny with the Computerland people in there too.

We used to call it: Genitaland

Spark = Kraps

[BMWST?]

wow such hate.I have no issue with them.Whats scarier is this.Is there any one who is better?I have landline, internet,sky,and 3 mobilies on the home phone bill,who/how do i replace em with.
In my limited experience,telstra/clear were even worse.
I like having the one package,but i somehow dont see spark being for me,so is my only alternative to split everything up again?

[James Deuce]

Hate's the wrong word.

Scorn.

Derision.

Disgust.

All of them sum up the feelings of customers who are tired of the abuses of monopoly.

Aye. If the commerce commission wasn't tarred with exactly the same brush they'd be down on 'em like a ton of bricks.

Vodafone do all of the things you require in a single package too. Got no experience with them though.

Hmmmm .... A rose by any other name, is still but a rose! .... An adage, though old is generally valid history in it's making! :rolleyes:

Imagine being called Sparklers, or Sparklies at work :)I went through all of school being called 'Sparkplug'... then Champion or Bosch... now I sell the lil freckers. Oh, the irony :facepalm:

A little bright spark were you ... ??? :innocent:

I used to work for an ISP when Telescum bought Xtra online. I saw all the bullshit that happened, including the $0.02 per minute crap that they tried to bring in. There was also a lot of shit that went on that never mad the media.

I also have a personal reason for loathing Telescum. My uncle moved from one side of Papakura to the other. They jerked him around for more than a month before hooking up the phone line at his new place, even though they knew that he and my mum, who shared the place with my uncle, bith had health issues and had the St John's Ambulance medical alert alarm system One time when he was speaking to them the sales cunt he spoke to said that if he switched back to Telecom from Telstra Clear they would have his phone back that night. Telescum are a loathsome, scumsucking lowlife shithole of a company.

I wondered how the joke got started :shifty:

A group of guys were attending a car-key party. One bet the others that he could recognise the make and model of any car by sticking the ignition key up his arse. The first key he correctly identified as a Ford Escort. The second as a Vauxhall Astra. As a joke, one of the guests got a spark-plug and shoved it up his arse. Immediately he said, "Yes, that's Champion!"
