F***CKING OPTUS:

Why go for OPTUS?DID ONCE BUT NOT ANY MORE: My wife and I both
purchased a phone each on one of they're plans after they ASSURED us
that we would have perfect 3G coverage here in Douin Victoria. Not a
problem they said, so what happened... First we could'nt get reception
inside the house so we had stand outside rain or shine if anyone
called us or if we had to ring out, calls a few kilometres distant
were broken up with static and crackling etc. As for getting online to
Optus Zoo, that was impossible and never worked here at all, standing
outside or not,so after many complaints to the boffins taking our
calls of complaint we were virtually told too bad... not they're
fault, even after former guarantees of perfect coverage.So..these
phones and they're carrier were useless to us and we ditched them..but
wait for it..at a cost of $1400 to opt out of our contracts. We
immediately signed up with Telstra nextG and have had no problems
whatsoever.Optus could not provide us with the service that we were
paying for after they promised us 3G coverage,so from us to them they
can go suck eggs, and we pass this info along to anyone we hear who is
looking for a phone carrier.

If they cant deliver the service you signed up for, you dont have to pay that.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never ever
had a fucking clue about even the most basic consumer law, fuckwit.
