Mindless silly stuff.

Pity that telstra flogs f.ck all local product, and you pay a
lot more than a few cents extra to use them too, fuckwit.

What matters is who delivers the best value, fuckwit.
And there are plenty of other operations
that dont have fuckwit yanks at the helm too.

Wota terminal fuckwit. It will float fine
regardless of which telco you use, fuckwit.

There's no shortage of jobs for the kids with an unemployment rate of 4.x%, fuckwit.

I doubt that any of us does. However, Telstra's services costs a tad more than a
"few cents" than that offered by its competitors.
My main gripe is its NextG service. If I want halfway decent coverage for my
mobile phone, then it's NextG or nothing. Oh, I can go with any of the others'
GSM services but they're woeful in lots of places where I travel.
So, I can choose whether to pay the extra that Telstra charges or go without.
I'd love for something like 3 Mobile's $29 cap on NextG. That'd suit me down to
the ground.

Perhaps I should have qualified my comments. Make that, "value for money caps",
or "cheap caps". Starting at $50 a month isn't cheap and it doesn't suit my
pattern of usage.

Women do come with instructions. Just ask them.

And I just spotted this:
5. Not available to customers recontracting, upgrading or changing between
existing Next G or 3G services. Offer ends 30/6/08.
So, that'd count most of Telstra's customers out including myself [1].
Thing is, why would customers of other carriers bother if their carriers offer
better caps?
[1]. So much for rewarding customer loyalty, hey?
