I love your points of view Mamaduke, but your commission is how much?

[nemosmum]

Nup i will never go through Telstra again:no:

We are with AAPT now :smiliedance:

We pay $50 a month and get $120 worth of calls, with telstra we were paying as much as $180 a month :thumbsdown: :mad: never again!

GO AAPT






btw I am in noway associated with AAPT, just a happy customer LOL hehehe

[Littletreasures]

im with nemosmum will never go back to telstra they were charging us over $300 a month for exactly the same thing that we are now paying $100 a month for with AAPT thay are great

[Mamaduke]

Bl**dy hell...no good deed goes unpunished does it?

No, I'm not getting a commission (that's about as ridiculous as the one about me working for the Liberal Party!), and I'm not even going to sign up for this offer as our phone bill is alot lower than this price per month anyway.

Didn't really want it to end up a "Telstra bash" thread...just letting others know of a deal one of my girlfriends just signed up for.

You know, the title of the thread was "Telstra Homeline Ultimate...great deal!"...
so if you're happy with your current provider why would you bother opening this thread in the first place!:confused:

I'm so glad that I went to the effort of finding and posting the link after my friend told me about it, and posting the thread in the first place...:rolleyes:

[nemosmum]

Dont be like that, Im sure no one thinks your getting a commission lol:D

And if your offended by my post then I will delete it if you like?

[Harlequin]

I figured sopolicha was joking... :confused:

I'm with iinet phone at the moment cause I have an adsl / phone bundle. None of the telstra deals were ever good for me, i dont use enough on the phone and to be honest I don't like giving them money after all the **** they gave us trying to get broadband through providers other than Bigpong.

Our home is 100% telstra free :yes:

[Ana Gram]

My DP signed us up for this (without consulting me - still ad at him about that one).

He has had to ring back three times now at my insistance to get rid of the message bank. Why he thought that was a good idea when we have an answering machine is beyond me. They took it off but kept putting it back on which was incredibly annoying.

Also since the change over, we have been unable to dial international.

[Mamaduke]

Well maybe I do deserve a commission....seems like I'm the only person who doesn't seem to have any trouble with Telstra!

[sopolicha]

Yes. I was joking. I have never admitted it but I love the Gymboree clothing, we vote the same way, I think the same about daycare. I drive a Toyota........would love a Kluger yada, yada, yada. I have a daughter called Charlotte.................

[mum33]

i am with telstra now but will soon switch over. they seem a little too expensive to me. is line rental supposed to cost that much?

[Mamaduke]

There's no need to rub it in!!!;)

Well, since telstra has no competition whatsoever in that department, they can charge whatever they like... unfortunately.

When you sign up with another company, they still have to pay telstra for line rental but might tell you, the customer, that they only charge $16 line rental or whatever and just adds the extra somewhere else. Telstra still gets their line rental payment regardless though.

Just like Broadband, Im sure phone costs are much cheaper in a lot of other companies because they have competition and not a monopoly.

Its why im glad to be with Iinet broadband, they've installed their own dslams at the telephone exchange so that Im not actually paying telstra anything for my adsl or phone. Its great.

[sopolicha]

There's no need to rub it in!!!;)

I don't drive a Kluger though......

[WeThree]

Great thread idea MD :)
Anyone else know of any good phone/internet deals?
We are with iprimus and for $80 a mth we get all our local calls free, our line rental and our broadband, I think that is a pretty good deal :)
and because we went with a 24 mth contract we got our modem and stuff for free :thumbsup:

So is your broadband unlimited...'cause I need unlimited!!!:o

[WeThree]

No, its not unlimited, thats the only downside, I want unlimited as well, its a pretty big download amount though....

[mum33]

beware though of some of these companies.

even unlimited isnt really unlimited. they just set the limit so high that you have to d/l alot to go over it. most of the companies ive seen slog you with a massive fee once you go over.

we have optus and if you manage to get over the limit of d/l's they just slow your speed right down to dial up speed and dont charge you anything. then it just goes back to normal speed the next month.
