ISP Review

ISP Name
BT - BT.com: Broadband Internet, mobile and fixed telecommunications products and service from BT for home and business

Whenever I have a problem with my connection I ring up their customer service, it takes less than 15 minutes to get through during day times. I rang them couple times in the evening and I waited over 3 hours. 3 hours in the queue and it has used over £20 on the calls plus it was on the premium call charges. I did not like the service that they give at evening times at all. When I found there was a problem with my connection I had to get the engineer to check on my line.
3 days later I got an engineer and found no faults Their terms and conditions says if the engineer cannot find a fault I have to pay the £125 call-out charge. I had to spend 3x on the engineer and they continued to say that there are no faults on my line. Okay fine so after paying them £300+ I found another BT engineer that do cheap line works. I got this guy and I only paid him £40 to fix my line
So really I spend my 3-4 months and wasted £300+ on something that is no use for me. And now I can surf the net anytime I want The lame thing is the price I had to pay £27 a month But I get unlimited usage, more porn for me HEHE

Bigpond (Telstra) - Broadband Internet Plans - Telstra BigPond

It was government owned in the past, but it isn't as reliable anymore. It rents it's cables to other ISPs (allowing competition, hence price increase meh), and their customer service is terrible. Waited for 20 minutes or so, listening to their "soothing" music only to get this auto-rejection message from a guy with an Indian accent...

Plans are a rip off, honestly. THERE IS NO UNLIMITED PLAN. I'm on the 60GB cable plan, $129.99AUD a month. But I also get 80GB Bigpond Downloads, and I can request files to be uploaded by them and then download from their servers (no illegal material of course, u wish) =D

Used to get dced a lot though, by their crappy service, but speeds are awesome.
Check it out.
