Kaz 50 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Thats probably the problem with big companies, they don't really care too much about one person because they have so many more. We are with a much smaller, local based company (The Packing Shed) and they seem fix problems almost straight away when we get them.

Driftit 1964 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 I am with Telecom in Bucklands Beach. The Howick/Highland Park exchange is still up. Occasionally you will get someone who knows what they are talking about Glenn. But it is so bloody rare these days. I would rather put up with a problem than deal with overseas call centers most of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 we had a 6 month battle with Telstraclear about our internet connection quality, who wholesaled from telecom in Wiri. Telstraclear ended up installing a very nice wireless connection setup for us free of charge... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 Mine's been all good. Though it's got some odd quirks, International is FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU slow. You actually cannot get on Bebo (flatmate complains) and some international sites will take half a year to load. this is with slingshot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 It better be working when I get to work this morning Edit:... its all good were up & running again Hi Glen, provided your with Telecom broadband the best number to call is: 0800 116 110 Calling that number gives you a 90% chance that you will get a Kiwi on the other end. When you had the outage did you have DSL ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 Yes we had DSL. It was just a localised problem with broadband in one of the exchanges in our area according to Telecom. It's all good now though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
