yeah I've been on the ph for hrs and hrs over the last couple of weeks to Telstra and NBN..
I can't believe that Government AKA NBN Co has forced me to take a service which absolutely REQUIRES that my NBN Modem must be ON 24/7. I used to turn off my computer every night.
Save power.. not using it.
Can't do that now. In order to have a homeline I must have power ON ... even that doesn't necessarily guarantee you'll be able to ph out, because if the service goes down a bit, and you get red lights on your modem... NO PHONE. !!!!! WTF?
Last night, I was a bit miffed about the NBN, so I turned it all off at the wall switch. I despise seeing power wasting away to no purpose. What can I say I am a pensioner, and I prefer to conserve energy. Not an option NOW.
When I turned it back on this arvo, NO PHONE. Nothing. It had power, and the Internet worked,, BUT not ph line. So another 45 odd minutes on the ph to Telstra today.
Groan. They promise it'll get better, and well I look forward to THAT.
