They're all freakin useless!
Don't get me started with optus! we had a nightmare!
They service our house for close to 15 years! Then one day some champ calls up and says "lets go wireless, it'll be 8mb/sec and tons cheaper!"
We thought "fudge, thats awesome! Jump on that right now!"
The speeds turned out to be 65kb/sec and we couldnt share the internet between computers! So they sent us out a router/modem, which had strict NAT settings, meaning I couldn't play my xbox online! I asked them how to do it and they said the only possible way was to void warranty and they wouldn't tell me how too!
In the end we said "Can we go back to our old plan?" and they said "Sorry, your house doesn't exist! We've never serviced you guys at all!"
WTF??
This was because of telstra having a tiff with optus so the lines could not be used anymore (telstra lines). when optus moved us over to wireless they wiped us clean off their database of wired users!
We told them to get fudged, refused to pay bills, then moved over to optus.
