[OT] Taking iiNet to TIO

2013-12-17 Thread Girish Madan
Hi, Just wanted to ask if anyone had any experience in making a complaint against iiNet to TIO. I signed up on a 24 months Phone, ADSL and TV Combo at the start of this year. After 10 months of over charging my credit card, faulty hardware and extremely poor customer service, i've had enough and

Never taken anyone to the TIO but this is my suggestion... 1. Cancel the Credit Card. 2. Get new Credit Card. 3. When threatened by IINet, refer them to TIO complaint number. 4. Ignore any further mail etc from IINet. 5. Move on ... Merry Xmas On 17/12/2013 10:44 PM, Girish Madan wrote: Hi,

Folks, I recently had a write a few web services and I had the choice of using SVC with basicHttpBinding or the traditional ASMX Web Service. The services only need to behave like simple libraries, passing strings and simple class types back and forth. I've said before I think WCF is an overweight

A level 1 complaint costs them about $35. If the matter can’t be resolved and is escalated, it then costs the defendant around $350 – a mandatory cost as part of being a TIO member. If the contract cancellation fee is anything less than $350, it makes more sense for them to waive the fee than

WCF is a lot simpler to configure than it used to be especially now with the new protocolMapping element to define the server side endpoints. Agreed ASMX is legacy but WCF still has a part to play in SOA… I think of Web API is just that an API to expose your services. Consider the scenario

I am pleased to hear that the TIO has some teeth now. In the mid 1990's I worked for one of the many telco resellers (long since merged into a bigger telco reseller several times). They had a way of dealing with notices from the Ombudsman, they were stacked in the corner of an office. When the

I took iiNet to TIO due to my FTTH being basically slow. I knew at the end of the day the fault was with OptiComm but got sick of waiting a year for iiNet/OptiComm to fight it out on who's to blame. After i lodged the complaint, 4 days later my issue was not only resolved but my monthly quota was

Chaps, I still think that WCF is overkill for me as I can't see anything in it I need. I sort of forgot about a simple Web API, but soon remembered that it's not really an API, it's just a convention of URL usage that you have to document for people to consume. The spectacular advantage of ASMX is
