When the sales staff at Tel$tra shops proclaim to know it all, why should a
buyer need to do his/her own research?

Answer:  because all the T-shop droids are SFB ignorant.

Go away, telstra clown.

Some people do not understand the difference between 3G and "3G". They
have been labelled the same too often. Also don't forget, many people
don't really know what to look for when buying a phone, and therefor
rely on the sales staff to 'match' them to a phone. So if the sales
staff are bent as most seem to be atm, then the customer doesn't know
better.

I've been spun so much sh.t from salesreps about NextG phones etc that
if I didn't know better, I'd swear black and white it was better than
satphone, eg I even had one clown tell me the signal because it uses
HSDPA technology will go THROUGH mountains unlike any other signal. I
basically told me I didn't know what I was talking about when I
cracked up and told him the physics of radio waves vs mountains.

As for Telstra being a good comany, FARKING BULLSHIT! It's f%ck the
customer and go the profits as per any large company. They don't give
a rats arse if your phone line goes down, or in a lot of cases if you
were spun a BS story by their salesreps. Telstra is more dishonest
than a bunch of lawyers, have poorly trained staff in many cases and
overcharge. Just like all the other phone companies. As much as I hate
OPTUS, they seem to have better pricing and support than Telstra now,
especially if you are lucky enough to get their cable service.

What a load of f.cking frog sh.t, Telstra might be partly Australian
owned BUT they are sending most of their money off shore via the
Three Amigo's!
