"Fraudband" is now tied with "weapons-grade pandemonium" on my list of today's favorite new terms.

And we're stuck with it because Telstra wasn't able to presuade (read blackmail) the government into getting very slack regulatory laws.

It's most likely that Crook and former CEO of mine's fault. He got out of Qwest before his shenanigans came to light. Not that Nacchio is successor is blameless. At least that rat bastard is up on charges. Solly babe got off scott free. Maybe if Telestra's stock plunges like Qwest's did, he will get his come upppance. :/

Don't complain --- at least it's not dial-up.

They wired everywhere BUT us for either DSL or broadband so I'm stuck with an obsolete line which can't hold a connection.

Better that than nothing.

Its Time...
