Alan Parkington FAQ

James Bell - 16 Sep 2007 06:41 GMT
Who or What is Alan Parkington?

Alan Parkington is an entirely modern phenomenon. Essentially, Alan
Parkington is an gutless individual who has discovered he can 'enhance'
his pitiful existence by pretending to be a Telstra related employee,
thus giving context to his pathetic copy-pasting of Telstra
press-releases and related diarrhea from 'now we are talking'.

Alan Parkington was formerly known as 'Professor James Bell' and 'James
Bell', before the REAL James Bell came on the scene and raped him hard
up the arse like the cheap TLS whore he is - Alan loved every minute of it.

Why is Alan Parkington worth a FAQ?

To inform you of this fuckwit of an individual.

Alan certainly copy-pastes a lot of Telstra bullshit here. Why is that?

Alan has no capacity for self-thought, other than being a Telstra
sycophant. The best it can manage is copy-pasting from various sources
and breaking copyright in doing so. Truly un-Australian behavior.

Alan has no friends in real life, and was abused as a child. He also
suffers from a mild case of down syndrome. A specially made keyboard
with only CTRL, C and V was designed so this retarded fuckwit of an
individual could enjoy the world of the internets, albeit slightly
limited in function.

But maybe Alan Parkington is a very clever and knowledgeable person?

Nup. Incapable of self-thought.

But maybe Alan really is an expert in some areas?

Nope. Alan's only expert area is in getting his posts ripped to bits by
Rod Speed, or anybody else with a clue. If Alan was a Jap, he would of
disemboweled himself long ago - and made one hell of a mess.

What is Alan Parkington's main modus operandi?

Troll. A piss-poor one at that.

But why do so many people respond to Alan in turn?

Essentially Alan is a agent for SingTel Optus, as his posts do nothing
but stir hate towards Telstra to fever pitch. Every post by Alan
Parkington has been a direct copy-paste of a Telstra press release,
which has then been bit-for-bit picked apart to the pack of lies,
factually incorrect statements and bullshit that they are.

Are you saying that Alan Parkington is a Troll?

Kinda, but giving 'Alan' the troll label is a unwarranted complement. A
good troll requires thought to create misleading/slightly factually
incorrect posts to cause a response. Alan couldn't troll his way out of
a wet paper bag.

What is the best way to handle Alan Parkington?

Tear his posts to bits, kill file or DDoS his bigpond cable IP so he
gets shaped or has to pay $15,000 GB in excess to Telstra - He'd love
doing that, afterall.

James Bell is a colleague of mine. He has the same mind set. In fact, in one
of James' earlier posts in this group, he announced how T3 Shares were going
to 'boom'. In fact if you had taken his advice, you would now be sitting on
a MASSIVE profit.

He taught for several years at Sydney Uni so is entitled to use the
Professor moniker but usually chooses not to.

James was far more involved in aus.tv in earlier days. I have been involved
in the telco industry in Australia for many years, and count people like
Paul Budde as contemporaries.

Re the "$15,000GB Charge" - I, like most intelligent people, am on a Bigpond
Liberty account so no excess fees. In fact, my bill is less than it would be
with any other ISP, including a low-cost low-service model like Internode.

Really? So what unmetered content do internode offer?

Modem Cost: BP $0, internode from $129
Direct Debit forced? BP - No, Internode - Yes
Change of Plan Fee? BP - $0, Internode $20

Rubbish. I;m happy to show the workings as to how BP is around $450 cheaper
over a two year deal than Internode..

OK..

BigPond 12 months half price offer, 12GB Liberty plan, 1.5 Megabit
(12*34.97)+(12*69.95) = 1,259.04 (Free modem, Free setup, no direct debit
force, 3 free line filters)

Internode 10GB Home ADSL Plan, (direct debit or credit card only)1.5 Megabit
from http://www.internode.on.net/adsl/pricing/home.php
Service Fee 129
New Modem 129
Line Filer 19
24*59.95 = 1,715.80

It's 54.95/month, fuckwit. Learn to read. Modems can be got for a lot
less than $129, fuckwit.

Result: Pittance difference in price. Yet Internode still absolutely
sh.ts on Telstra for quality and value of resulting broadband. 100%
Australian owned as well.

By the way, $1,259.04 for 12GB counted both ways, and 1.5 Megabit is
piss-f.cking poor value considering you can get better value ADSL2+ from
a plentora of other true-Australian providers.

Sitting pretty here on 18mbit/sec, 20GB with a total costing over the
last 24 months of $1253.80 (in Modem). Thank you iiNet. f.ck you Alan

Really? Looking at the iinet page here:
http://www.iinet.net.au/products/broadband/plans.html

You either have it bundled, or you pay $69.95 per month for 10GB+10GB plus
$69 (min) for the modem. You do the sums, chum.

They have various deals at various times. What's posted on the website
is completely and utterly f.cking irrelevant to what I pay/paid.

By the way fucwkit, Bigpond ADSL2+ is at least $89.95 month for anything
usable ($59.95 for 600MB? Is this f.cking 1991?), with your little gay
deal that's at least $1619.1 minimum over 24 months.

So essentially, you get ADSL2+ and double the quota (especially when you
factor in uploads) from the competition, for the price of piss-weak
ADSL2 on Telstra.

Actually if you could read, you would see
http://my.bigpond.com/internetplans/broadband/adsl/plansandoffers/default.jsp

the price is 69.95 for a 1.5Megabit connection per month. (as i said in the
first place)

Obviously you cannot comprehend a simple chart, do your parents know you are
on the net?

Why pay for 1.5 megabit dialup when you can get ADSL2+ for the same or
lesser price from the competition, fuckwit.

Yeah, and iiNet are good service-wise. After my abortive attempt to sign
up with the useless internode, i got a dialup account from iiNet - no
drama at all. I was online almost immediately and there's never been a
hiccup. I'm looking forward to being able to get ADSL from them one day.

That certainly isn't hard to achieve!

For a start many ISP's don't charge for uploads like Tel$tra does.

Actually, all new Optus 'fusion' plans count uploads, and also just
announced all new AAPT ADSL2 plans will count uploads also. Bigpond was just
the first to do this..

Ha ha. Internode are almost worse than telstra, i reckon! Their customer
service is certainly bollocks!

For a start, you can't even sign up for an account online - how
neanderthal is that??? You have to *fax* a bloody application form!!!

I tried to sign up for a dialup accont with them three months ago (sadly
there's no ADSL here yet - until OPEL get going, that is) and it was a
complete fuckup from start to finish. I ended up cancelling it and they
still sent me some stupid SMS with my account details.  So i had to email
them and threaten them with fair trading if they took any money off me.

Completely useless - second only to tel$cum!

Oh, i just remembered... Their poxy VOIP internal phone system wasn't
working properly at the time, either. I tried phoning them to sort all
this nonsense out - and it just kept dropping out on me. It was
impossible to get through to them - over several days. That was part of
the reason why i cancelled. If they can't even run a phone system,
they're not likely to be able to run an internet service either.

Yeah, f.ck any of those ISP based VoIP products. I do admit though that
iiNet's VoIP product is absolute ROCK solid. In fact more rock solid
than my Telstra PSTN line given it didn't work the other day, but my
ADSL still did, but the call costs ain't cheap in comparison to external
providers with iiNetPhone (or NodePhone or whatever it's called).

I'm with Mynetfone - 10c Australia wide, fantastic quality, never had
downtime in months. Love it. Slashed my phone bill to absolute bits.

*checks TLS share price* ... hrmm.. Going down I see!

I was actually talking about their office phone system. Their PABX
appears to be some VOIP crap that doesn't work properly - undoubtedly due
to their incompetence in installing a suitable system and/or
administering it.

I agree. I've only got dialup at the moment, but i've still got an
account with mynetfone (among several others). I never had a single
problem with them. As soon as we get the OPEL broadband system out here,
i'll be back on internet telephony!
