Yeah it's been a pain in the arse, bloody phones have been down all week.
I think my phone company have gone broke
I would ring you from my mobile now but that means I will most likely have to go outside to the driveway to get signal which I have had to do today, too bloody cold right now, I will try you tomorrow.

Wasted nearly a days work this week ringing different companies and looking at websites for another provider, as far as websites of all the major players are concerned a land line seems to be a thing of the past, they advertise 'home phones' but it's all about voip and having adsl.

Rang Optus and I'm quite surprised they can't connect me up to a land line!!
Same with a few of the other companies, or once they find out it's business and not home they don't want to know me.
Help, I can't handle this modern world

What companies can you guys recommend?
I have been with Conec2 for a couple of years but they have let me down big time at the moment.

Go Aussie mate....Telstra.....I know, there bastards but at the end of the day they have the best coverage and if your landline needs repairs they are the ones to do it instead of getting pissed around by the other companies who just "rent" there phone time off Telstra.

Have to agree, although just moved into a brand new house and its taken them 10 days to connect the ADSL as they've had to do "some reprogramming" of the system

Telstra always manage to do the job somehow but you pay.... I always have service though pisses all the other provider users no end but I have to have a unlimited plan cos every pr*k wants to use my phone when out bush

You kidding me? Telstra? Aussie??
I thought they were foreign owned now??
As for line repairs I have had to get them in a couple of times and their was never a problem even though I'm not with Telstra, Teltra are responsible for the lines, not the minor companies.
I heard there were 12000 lines cut when Conec2 went down, funny how mainstream media seemed to let this one go without comment!

I have Telstra trying to reconnect me at the moment and I should have phones again early next week, but I'm not sure how long I will be with them. $40.00 a month plus all calls just to connect me to the copper system
I pay $29 a month for my mobile with calls and data!

Couldn't get through either, from nsw.
My mobile has been down for nearly two days, thanks optus!

I thought I was on a good plan with Vodafone a while ago but having a phone that you can only use as a camera as they had next to no coverage is false savings ,back with Telstra now no probs
