I was desperate not to have the NBN with Telstra (FTTP) and went through Devoted, Skymesh, and iiNet before landing at Telstra who are the only ones that can provide the rated speed or close to (+/- 15% or so) 24/7. iiNet were giving me 10mbit service when I was paying for 100 and asked me to perform literal hours of testing to confirm the issue wasn't at my end, despite having current service from another provider that was meeting the claimed speed at the time. gently caress 'em. All those grannies getting ripped off are subsidising my experience I guess.

I made a man at AGL sad a few weeks ago because they wouldn't meet me halfway on a thousand dollar bill caused by a faulty water heater. It was the sixth call I'd had to them and they kept offering me stupid discounts instead of just giving me some grace on that one bill. I remember when I sold phones we would give people half their data and poo poo off because they hosed up, but an essential service just says "gently caress you and die, I don't care if you can't afford it" until you cancel the service and they go "woah hold on now, would you like an incredible 44% off your bill (does not discount supply charges that constitute 70% of monthly bill)".

Synthbuttrange posted:goddammit, I dont wanna go to loving telstra they're the worst. Going through both Telstra and NBN co for my in-laws and it's nothing more than a confusing world of pain, where each side has hosed up but are blaming the other. The best part is where they have had to have new copper run down from the pit and I asked the NBN guy why they would do this and not just run fibre in these cases, he said well you can but how much money have you got, I asked out of interest what would it cost and was advised he cannot tell me the inflated or "actual" cost as it would put his job in jeopardy. So my assumption is the actual cost would be equal or less than new copper line but charged at such a rate no-one would bother unless you are able to eat the cost, which explains how Malcolm got his fibre line into point piper. Edit: I did advise Aussie but was rebuffed due to a requirement of a fax line and number still being connected at their house which my father in law was convinced no-one else could provide. I tried offering eFax options etc but he was stuck in his ways. Hence Telstra. Dimebag fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Mar 6, 2018 |

Dimebag posted:Going through both Telstra and NBN co for my in-laws and it's nothing more than a confusing world of pain, where each side has hosed up but are blaming the other. Point Piper's on HFC, he just got it 9 months before anyone else on the street will. In 9 months time when the rest of the street jumps on and the speeds drop through the floor, then he'll probably have Fibre to the Home put in. NBN Co claim the lead in from the pit to the premises costs about 20% of the entire connection from the exchange or POI back (not sure which). I assume a lot of this is to do with installing the poo poo in people's houses, having to work to schedule, dealing with out of date cable records and potentially moving the point of termination as in a lot of cases it's not in an appropriate spot. I.E. new NBN FTTN installations were typically done in the garage. The game plan for the near future is to move to FTTC, which involves a fibre run to the pit out front of your house, which is still $$ but less of a pain because they can just do a whole bunch without entering the property; and then they install a VDSL or G.Fast box in the pit, which is powered by the modem or similar end point device down the phone line. As we're talking about <90M of copper, you can basically get gigabit Ethernet performance, and the latency drops way down from VDSL to the node. It's still not ideal, and the first year or two under the Coalition at least will still be capped at 100/40 - but there's a much simpler upgrade path than VDSL. HFC can technically do gigabit via the DOCSIS 3.1 standard, but by all accounts the networks weren't maintained well and that'll probably end up being a clusterfuck.

Malcolm Turnbull is preparing to argue that 30 negative successive Newspolls should not be reason enough to question his leadership because that was not the only reason he moved against Tony Abbott. With the Coalition now trailing Labor in 28 successive fortnightly Newspolls under Mr Turnbull's leadership, the Prime Minister will contend he has delivered on other promises he made at the time which included restoring business confidence and economic leadership. Mr Abbott said on Monday that it was up to Mr Turnbull to explain why the metric of 30 negative Newspolls that was used to get rid of him in 2015 should not also apply to his successor. "It was the Prime Minister who set this test and, I guess if he fails the test, it will be the Prime Minister who will have to explain why the test was right for one and not right for the other," Mr Abbott told 2GB radio.

Yes Abbott and Joyce are going to start firing broadsides at 30 newspolls. I wonder if Joyce would hire me since I assume he has no staff. I'd just like to write him one speech where his parting statement is "what's more embarrassing, having a baby with a staff member, destroying your marriage and alienating you children then claiming it isn't yours weeks after announcing that you love and adore this staffer, or losing 30 newspolls in a row? I think we all know."
