Telecom say we are the good guys with broadband !

"Chris Thompson, Telecom's head of Internet and online marketing, says the
company is just giving the market what it has asked for."

"most of Telecom's almost 50,000 residential broadband customers were
interested in cost, and not "a flat rate and high traffic".

Lordy lordy. A marketing chief, out of touch with his market. Sounds
fantastic don't you think ?!

 

Remember his spin doctors would have written that in reponse to the
bundling recommendation. They would basically say anything now to
defend themselves ater the CC report for unbundling. I don't remember
being asked if I wanted a chice between flat rate or lower cost, so
how could Telcom say that.
They have just spent $100000 on thier new logo and the small
animation, which is nothing special, so they obviously are making alot
of money

 

If you really want a laugh then check out their mobile jetstream
plans;

The top plan;

Mobile Data 300. For extremely heavy data users, who use their laptop
every day - especially if sending or receiving images, sound or film
clips

$375.00 per month
300MB limit
2.0c per 10k over the limit

How many sound & film clips can you send for 300mb.

Keeping the old OS patched wouldn't be a cheap excercise.

Today's Aardvark addresses the issue of exactly who Telecom want as
DSL customers.

What was the question?

I get tired of liars/spin-meisters like Chris Thompson and Telecom. I don't
know who they think they are fooling.

You're the one who is missing out, then. ;-)
The Aardvark site is worth reading, and sponsorship by some company doesn't
mean they have bought it.

Thompson is quite happy to perjure himself in court, I don't think he'd
even blink while lieng to the media.

 

That fact is, if you believe that to the nest of your knowledge, that your
telling the truth, you can usually get away with it... so he probably
literally has no idea.

 

... then he must have been providing the usual telecom service (meaning number
2 in your dictionary ... bulls/cows etc ).

He was the one making the phone calls and the court statements...

 

nice... you've kinda got this guy huh

 

Soory the sponsor's ad put an end to my reading.

So I guess you don't read any newspapers, magazines or mainstream
websites then either huh?
