Thread: Internet options

Bas,

You're a classic, I got a good laugh from your response.

I agree with the good and bad experiences with providers. They all have their moments.

If you are offended by the 'mug' comment take a teaspoon of cement. It's not a personal attack although you have not taken it very well.

If you can talk to Telstra I'm not surprised after all as you have stated you worked for them for 15 years. Pretty sure if I also worked for the same company for 15 years I would know which buttons to push and wires to pull. Didn't know we needed to work for Telstra to get value for money so thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty sure I implied horse for courses with the boonies remark but maybe you overlooked that. (Yes horses for course, Telstra are good for some things, just not the be all and end all).

You shouldn't have mention fords and holdens because they both suck royally.

Look Bas, are you a mug? Yes you are. You own a D2. Pretty sure you are in some good company though.

Regards
Andrew

P.S. With the Telstra = mugs comments, Ford/Holden comments and I just pigeon holed all D2 owners, there should be few coming out for me now..... Before anyone asks I'm not willing to meet them halfway to sort it out (this is for you Stevo). (Lighten up, I still stand by these remarks)
P.P.S. Telstra is still OK, there's just better options around.
P.P.P.S Love this forum, might be just the Sunday afternoon with a few ales kicking in, or the fact we are approaching a full moon but so easy to offend. LOL.

[Please note Bas does not work for Telstra (Thanks for the heads up Bas). I added this comment post Basa's moment of enlightenment].

Andrew,

Before you start to tell me about brand loyalty, maybe you should take your beer goggles off, and read my response correctly.

I have not worked for Telstra now or ever. They supply services to my work. We, my work, are a customer of theirs. Let me say that again, I DO NOT WORK FOR TELSTRA. And in the interests of full disclosure, I do not even hold Telstra shares.

We, my work, have tried other providers, with no success.

If YOU dont like a particular company, thats fine. You are welcome to have your say. Just dont label people that have good experiences as something less than you.

At no time did I state that Telstra supply ALL our services. We do have other providers for some things, as they do it better or cheaper.

What I DID say thou, is that of the services that Telstra DO supply, they are the best at it. One of these services is our network & internet, and based on that, I made the personal decision to use Telstra at home.

I have tried other providers in the past, but they were not able to provide me what I needed, when it was needed, at the price I was prepared to pay.

If that makes me a mug, then so be it.
