Telstra are a bunch of amateurs. We've had nothing but problems with them...connecting us,disconnecting us by mistake, giving us a wrong number, etc etc etc. Too boring (and stressful) to go through it all again but I would certainly never use them again.
We ended up going with someone else for our broadband as Telstra couldn't get that organised either.
:curse:

Re: is it me or is Telstra a bag of brown stuff??
I think they are alright! Controversial obviously, but we had to go with them when we moved here as every other provider told us we weren't in a broadband area, including Optus. Yet we had Cable TV to the house. But still Optus said no, they didn't do cable to our area.
Now we have a rather nice package with Telstra, 25Gig a month cable broadband extreme (17 Mbps), Foxtel, and home phone all with Telstra.
It comes in at about $200 a month, so probably not the cheapest, but we get all free local calls, and $10 of here and a $10 off there for having all with the one provider. Mostly the cost is $90 for the broadband, $80 for Foxtel, and $30 for phone line
As I said at the start, show me any other provider who can offer fast cable broadband, foxtel and home phone in this area for less, and I'd go with them. But, they don't exist, and the service we've had from Telstra has been good, so no, I know its fashionable to have a dig at them, but really, they're ok, but a tad expensive.

I'm with Telstra - they are expensive, but its a good service.
25GB limit, 20meg download speed (actually get about 14meg)
Getting 50% off for the first 9 months out of 24.
Also, we moved house over Easter, me being a slacker I did not call them until the Thursday morning, phone and internet were all connected back up by the next Wednesday (2 working days)
