the one i did about a year ago still represents better value… 78 bux a month, 200GB+HL, this one is 90 if you reduce your line rental option to not include free local calls… (i use voip)
I also got about 200 bux in credits for switching from optus.
So did I, they've got another (slightly better) deal now
$80 which includes unlimited local calls.
How do you get this deal as you need to be friend or family of telstra employee?
The person in the Telstra shop signing you up will be your friend & they're the employee….
Not sure why I got neg'd detailing a deal.
from me a plus coz i was not aware this. Thanks.
i am with optus now, thinking to change but not sure weather the installation cost is include of those package or not . Any idea ? Activation is different thing. Right ?
If you're signing up for 24 months, installation is included.
Thanks for the info.
I had a chat to the via live chat, they said they could apply the offer onto my order which is still being processed, getting someone to refer me now.
It says untimed local calls, not unlimited. Sounds like you still pay for them.
Though when you look at the plan page it says unlimited:
Switched from standard cable to ultimate cable last week.
WOW
Ultimate kicks ass - it is a LOT quicker.
Calmerancer,
I'm just curious as to your comment 'I know Telstra isn't the best' - who is the best telco in your opinion?
Of course they arn't the best in terms of pricing. However for service availability some areas cannot use anything other than Telstra.
I have not done extensive research but for price value I think Telstra has been quite pricy and customer service is always long wait times in the past…. I'm with exetel, may not be the fastest but it is the best for me. The customer service is by far the best I have delt with for Internet . I pay 40$ a month for phone and Internet with 40 gig. I only went over the limit once and that was at the end of the month … They don't charge extra but slow speeds and still very useable. That's ext cheap I think n downloads around 600-1000 kb per min. contract is like 12 months.
I have been with Exetel for about 5-7 years now moving from location to location from cost to canberra and inner north Canberra suburbs.
SHAMELESS Telstra…
Look at their FaceBook page… SOOOOoooo many customer COMPLAINTS!!!
Why are Telstra not responding? / resolving Customer complaints..?!?
Too many happy customers to serve….
They are big - there will be many many unhappy customers, but there are plenty of happy ones too…
Also if you have a look at the Facebook page so many of the complaints are from morons who have no clue how to use the hardware they have been given.
And from people who signed contracts, but now want to break them and are complaining about having to honour their contracts….
Or from me asking why my sick father's "medical priority - 24 hour restoration" phone service had nothing done about it after 6 days… Or are we all morons if we don't agree with you?
I just got connected today ($100 for landline and 200gb ultimate cable) I got the 24 month contract so free installation. I paid the activation fee of $48 but received a free home phone. I did a speed test and got 93mbps with 9ms ping. I live in bass hill sydney. Best customer service, I know they are pricey (Telstra) but they do give you a excellent service both professional and high standards.
I signed up for the $100 Telstra package (200GB Ultimate + Phone Line) about 6 wks ago. Had to reschedule when guy turned up late and said couldn't install cable because of trees. I cut back trees and immediately rang for new appointment. That's were the atrocious service started. So far they have stuffed up 2 appointments and I have been on the phone at least 3 hrs trying to get cable installed. In the end I eventually got some in Oz I could talk to and they had to cancel the whole signup and start again. Hoping for install next week. Can't wait for the fast cable (30 to 100 Mbps) but wondering if worth it for the bad service.
Just getting an online chat person to define 'friend'.
Bit later - nup, they won't go for it.
This has been around for a while I think, I signed up over a week ago and got the voucher.
