Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Google Earth   Never ever give up at complaining about Telstra as it works  - A friend is 8km from a city of 15000 Telstra - no lines but they gave him a land number and transferred to mobile but no internet -said July then put it off till December so went to countrywide and Telstra normal and ombudsman and 3 days later they offered the Hybis ?? for next to nothing. True as they had no other alternative - and remember the service guarantee of $38.50 every day they can not perform - I know a well known gliding identity got $4000 credit from the buggers.  Go to UR MPs as will but do not let them get away with one little thing.   After disconnecting my mobile once a month and then me  reconnecting next day AND CHARGING ME $35 each time finally one November Friday night Telstra said Mr McPhee Telstra owe you an apology.  I made them pay every cent I could and so they should.     Now is the time to act even if you are fat and happy with Telstra there are people out there still being treated like the scum of the earth. . So now is the time to act before it is too late.   Ian McPhee   ----- Original Message ----- From: Geoff Kidd To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

You should try for it as it is aimed to help us bushies get Broadband as well as the city folk.   Geoff     ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Mc Donnell To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

Access is free unless you want their commercial version.   WARNING however - this is addictive and likely to burn up hours in front of your screen!!!   Cheers,     John Parncutt _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring No virus found in this incoming message.
