    T3 instalments went up but at the expense of Telstra FPO shares. With dividend the same for instalments and FPO shares people are stupid hanging onto the latter.

    I can't help thinking they laid off more aussie workers to push up the price.
    I have been after support for 3 days. My cable [melbourne] has been there al day.

    My ambition is to speak to a support drone who actually resides in oz.
    Havent had that for a long time.

    Are you saying you've been off line as well ?

    I got onto them today and they said there were no problems and it must be at my end. They even blamed the modem.

    Funny thing is, it's been off again today. It's down from about 10am until 6.30 and then comes alive. Same for each day. can't be the modem. :mad:

    Sounds like the exchange is cutting the connection to a 'residential' service to improve service to buisness customers (or one bui$ne$$).

    I have had problems with my el-cheapo modem, but turning it off/unplugging it and reconnection fixes the problem - too many dead indians perhaps

    It's cable, not adsl so i don't think an exchange is involved. (could be wrong though)

    I've tried turning it off and on, leave for 10 mins, or even one hour. It makes no difference. Funny that they had a recorded message going about heavy support traffic and yet they insist nothing is wrong.

    I've had this before and they convinced me it was my modem and so i BOUGHT another one. Not this time. I never had a problem at work with Netspace ADSL and if they continue, I'm off.

    Yep it can be annoying when some providers tell you its got little to do with them. I remember taking it 4 weeks to get a phone connected to a house in Windsor NSW about 5 years ago. They came out and the tech wried the phone up to the wrong circuit and they refused to help me say there was nothing wrong. Eventually they did come back and sort things out. it was just after they sent me some money in compensation I decided to switch providers. Perhaps they were off chasing rabbits off some large brick wall some where then.

    Telstra will probably suggest this next time you talk to them but you could try blowing down the cable to check its not blocked

    No, Motorola - it's cable, not dsl.
