Australia’s great…but

If I was a new visitor/immigrant to New Zealand I would already be connected to some form of broadband by now. I would be paying less for that broadband, I wouldn't have to wait for two different technicians from the same company to connect a phone line then the broadband. I wouldn't have to wait for the connection to be in place before the company sent me a modem/router a week later, and two weeks after I began the application.

You get my point.

For all the competition (methinks it's really pseudo-competition) in the IT market, Australian pricing and service is a JOKE. I can't believe that consumers don't demand more, and better more - there's certainly enough of them...

And don't get me started on Mobile connections!

So, in the meantime, instead of whining about things I will have to go the circuitous route when it comes to posting (and getting other things done online).

Rant over - do I feel better? - hmmm, probably.
