Telecom

Three an a bit weeks ago we lost our land line,never actualy had one anyway,just a real long extension from the landlords place.
Needed a cable layed ect ect,so rang Telecom to arange everything.
Had to wait a week for the guy to come lay the cable,fair enough.
Anyway guy turns up an asks "where's the jack"?
Is this guy being a smart arse or what?
Nope he really IS here to plug our phone into the wall jack,FFS MATE!!!!!!!
So he slinks off with the other halfs rather sarcastic comments ringing in his ears,an we go back to no phone line,plus it's friday an no way are we getting an intelligent answer from Telecom on why they sent the plug it in guy when we actualy asked for the dig a trench an lay the cable guy.
Anyway monday came an we get it aranged again,in a week from now of course.A week late an the guy don't show up,so we ring Teleuckingcom again.Seems he had the right road but no address,couldn't find the place an never bothered using the bloody phone number he had been provided with to work it out.So we ring Telewucking com AGAIN.
OK stuff it this is getting silly,I'll dig the bloody trench myself an this time you @$#% better bloody show up right.Yes Sir,in a weeks time.
Anyway as you'll might of guessed the guy showed up an now we have a phone line,Choise aye.
Pity I cut the landlords phone line when I dug the trench but,,,,,,, Telecom are coming to fix that on monday.

haha, what a saga, yep, some of those big companies are pathetic. Simply because there is no motivation to do better...

Did you really cut the landlord's line?? That's what they have pwofessionals for ya see... poor bastard has no idea there's no way it will be Monday...

Did you put a knob on the XS650 to dig that trench? Save your back y'know....

That sounds almost as bad as trying to talk to a real person at ird!

Should of thought of that huh.
But we did save $800 by spending $180 at Mc Intees hiring a digger.
Telecom were going to charge just over $900 for a fifty meter long hole.
