Telecom/Xtra again (groan)

[onearmedbandit]

Yeah, I clicked on the link about 5mins later and it was working. Couldn't be fucked editing my post.

[Switch]

but it will be an average of about $3.25.

Bhahahahahhaha

[Mental Trousers]

Anyone got any helpful suggestions short of nuking the Telecom building?

Just let me know so I can get out of the building, get some beer and find a good spot to watch.

Our broadband worked for like 3 days after getting it, then it died. Ihug are useless pricks, we're gonna tell them to get fucked.

All this bitching about telescum... just tell the tossers to go jump!

and as for Islug.....

[Magua]

and as for Islug.....

Islug refused to load kiwibiker for a few days. Most uncool.

I've never had a connection problem with my Internet connection.
Call me old fashion, but 56k dialup is reliable.
Don't these highspeed connections come with 56k connection as free backup?

And Blackbird... I didn't do it.

You're one of the good guys all right - I haven't forgotten your help from last October when my system fell over

I shall hold off drastic action simply because you're in the building but I am not well pleased as the effing thing still doesn't work and I still can't get through by phone. It will have to wait until Monday now as mercifully, I'll be away at the weekend.

[Squeak the Rat]

Good news Xtra customers, there will be a credit on your account for the major problems last week.

Don't know the exact amount but it's around $3.50

Woohooo.

Ok, will clarify a bit. Every Telecom helpdesk person I have ever dealt with (and it has been A LOT over the years working as a technician, literally dozens and dozens, on a wide range of problems, dialup, ISDN, DSL, frame relay) qualifies for my previous statement.

What can you say, It's like any helpdesk job.... Pay peanuts and you get monkeys.

[WRT]

Maybe they were hoping for elephants instead.

$3.50 eh? How you like them peanuts?

Edit: Sorry, make that $3.25. Even better. Yay. Wahoo. Oh dear, I've come over all faint at their generousity - does it know no bounds?

Meh, it's pot luck really dude...

It's like going to McDonalds, do you get the one who spits in your burger, or the one who gives you every Gerkin (and spits in it anyway)... you never know.

"Broadband" as it is called here is capped at a certain amount (dependant on your plan) and when you reach that amount then you are slowed down to 56k... Obviously telescum knows that SPEED KILLS!!!
