Continued from yesterday, moving through to Page 9 of the mammoth PDF that is Telstra’s trash about why the ACCC shouldn’t accept the G9 proposal, we see more invalid rubbish from the rubbish that wrote it, Telstra. 1. It does … Continue reading →

It’s not really new news, any idiot could have guessed that Telstra would not like G9′s proposal at all. Would you like the idea of someone else coming along, and being able to pay you a fair price for access … Continue reading →

Recently, Labor Member, Regional Development Minister for NSW, Tony Kelly can be echoed in the media as stating that the voters should decide on broadband. Mr Kelly believes that OPEL could leave Regional and Rural broadband users with “second rate … Continue reading →

Optus has had great success with the fusion phone and internet bundles that it has decided to revamp the rest of its product line up. As early as the start of next month, the current Optus plan line up will … Continue reading →

Telstra’s attempt at delaying the OPEL rollout is one which will fail. Some considerations need to be placed to decide just how far Telstra are going to try and go, to stop any form of regional broadband investment. Consideration 1: … Continue reading →

Telstra is the real cause of children not being able to access the resources they might be able to over the internet to further their own education. Telstra’s broadband plans are far from giving users the freedom to access the … Continue reading →

At a consumer level, there’s little in the way of pricing structure of a service. Recently on Telstra’s Now We Are Talking site, Leanne made comments that iiNet get her service for $3.20 and charge her $xx.xx for it. This … Continue reading →

The two words I can think to sum up the arguments frrom Telstra, Labor, Optus and our current government to be somewhat of a bitchfight. We see Telstra slamming any moves by our government to introduce competitive, lower priced broadband … Continue reading →

Today in the mail I received an invite to a forum conducted by the Labor party, faking an interest in Central Coast broadband services. They state that the new network would be 40 times faster than current speeds.. So, 40 … Continue reading →

For some unknown reason, the TV was left on ABC today, and was probably on it for most of the day. After all the Children’s cartoons flew by, I started hearing the sounds of what can only be described as … Continue reading →

I can never stress the importance of a backup enough. The same person that had the partition resize issue that other day was having problems starting an application. It turned out that a while back he had a severe system … Continue reading →

That’s an interesting thought. If I were CEO of Telstra, what would things be like, what would I do differently to the current (and past CEOs). Let me first state that the idea of a listed company is to release … Continue reading →

I was browsing Whirlpool recently, and discovered that a user was posting that the G9 consortium proposed to “rip out” part of Telstra’s copper network lead me to believe that some are blindly believing the crap spewed out on Telstra’s … Continue reading →

If you ever wanted a good reason not to vote Labor (aside from the many good reasons out there already, such as Labor’s previous financial mismanagement, or Labor’s Communications n00b, Stephen Conroy being demonstrated as uninformed by the current Communications … Continue reading →

Telstra has decided to proceed and upgrade its Cable network to offer 30Mbps. But, it didn’t stop there however, it has decided that it will only upgrade the speeds to 30Mbps and offer those speeds to 67% of the population, … Continue reading →

A new release on the DCITA website is the Expert Taskforce guidelines for the provision of a broadband network to Metro and Major Regional Australia funded solely by the private sector. They have released draft guidelines for any interested parties … Continue reading →

That’s the magical question put forth to the leaders today when they are ready to go forth and choose a supplier to win the rights to building Australia’s First FTTN network. Are consumers prepared to pay more for faster speeds? … Continue reading →

This isn’t a post to tear Labor apart, but rather, just to highlight some of what is spat by Senator Stephen Conroy. He recently wrote an article for The Australian (so it is biased), stating that in mid-2009, Coonan’s plan … Continue reading →

In another delay tactic move, Telstra has chosen to play a personal card against the Minister for Communications herself, the intelligent Senator Helen Coonan. Telstra’s move is basically legal action to sue the Minister herself for alledgedly agreeing to the … Continue reading →

Telstra, while bitching at the government for not giving into their temper tantrums and linking possible investment by other companies to both, global warming and terrorism, has decided that they will apparently take some of the $4.1 billion flagged for … Continue reading →

In what can only be believed as a temper tantrum from the big baby themselves, Telstra’s public affairs nuisance Phil Burgess recently was cited in the media. Basically, Fat Phil states that if Telstra didn’t get their way with their … Continue reading →
