Broadband headaches (relates to Australia only)
Ah ... maybe here in the lounge I can kick off m' shoes say "as far as I can tell all Aussie Telcos are *%$#@!s. I've been on dialup forever ... or at least since I first went online back when ...and I am so over it and ready for broadband. But the telcos are so (unnecessarily) tricky ... they don't seem capable of offering a plain English straight forward deal ... it's all - you have to bundle this and you have to be eligible for this by also having this and that .... I've already got a mobile and am happy with it .. I jsut want an stand alone preferably wireless broadband offer. Now if you're reading this and you have an income then you might be thinking "hey what's the proble" ... but my income is limited. That's why I want to do away with the landline and go wireless cos I'm tired of having to pay landline rental just so I can have access to an ISP. Grrrrrr....any entrepreneurs out there ... there's a big market here in Australia for folks like me ... One thing ... when a deal includes both uploads (as well as the normal downloads) what effect does that have on useage? does it double it? Anyone have any idea. BTW if you know of a deal let me know ...and sorry but I'm in the regions so none of the city deals are offered here. Now where's a grumpy old emoticon .....oh there's only a mad one ... oo roo.
