| 284647 | 2004-10-28 01:33:00 | > > People aren't going to post threads saying "wow woosh > is just going great, thought I'd let you all know" Because the product is crap, so how to you expect people to say it's great when it's not? > Those that are unhappy whinge, those that are happy > are unlikely to trumpeting it to the nation. Well if happy customers don't blow their trumpet on the nation, and there's no unhappy customers then there should be no feedbacks at all, but as someone mentioned ... >>Woosh is notoriously bad, go to any computer releated forum in NZ and >>you'll find threads about the poor service. There were even articles in the >>Hearld and PCWorld that came to the conclusion that if the service >>actually worked the way it was advertised it would be wonderful, but it >>doesnt. Enought said. |

| 284649 | 2004-10-28 01:52:00 | For those that believe that because no prosecution of a particular law has taken place therefore there has been no breech logic. The commerce commission rarely use their powers. Usually there has to be a complaint, even then they may not even investigate any further other than acknowledging the complaint. That's ok because the chaff needs to be sorted from the wheat but, they are well known for not investigating and enforcing the law even in valid cases, it's a matter of resources and will more than legality or merit.

| 284650 | 2004-10-28 07:56:00 | Poll: Does Woosh deliver what it offers? No . they offer unlimited plans . These plans are limited . The fact that many may not be able to envisage using the theoretical maximum of a given plan is irrelevant . There are many illicit uses for that "unlimited bandwidth" But many times it has been judged that given a product that may be used for illegal purposes, does not make the product illegal . P2P, Video recorders . . . I have previously posted that I have used Woosh to its theoretical maximum consistently . I am of the opinion that they should not offer a product if the people using it will not be profitable (Of course I want the company to be profitable, I want them to stay in business to provide me a service) Before I was on Woosh, I had Walker Wireless . A 256K plan that cost me $130 a month, I migrated to Woosh based on cost . I pay $40 for woosh, & they were offering the same speed & the same unlimited use . I will now be moving to Orcon as they have an unlimited service . I chose this based soley on the "unlimited" feature . I have had poor service from Woosh, with inconsistent responses to my questions about unlimited . They are not offering what was advertised . (Fine or not so fine print be damned, unlimited means no limits no matter what else they say . ) That is all . |

| 284651 | 2004-10-28 08:32:00 | I can see where this is going. If you're that annoyed with it, don't use it. Let's have a little look at the Xtra plans versus the Woosh plans as quoted from their site. Woosh: Plan............................................Mo nthly MB............................Monthly Fee Woosh Everyday Unlimited.........Unlimited .................................................. Subject to reasonable use. .................................................. Refer to FAQs for details.........$54.95 See? They quite clearly say "Subject to reasonable use". If you don't find 15GB "Reasonable Use", have a look at Telecom Xtra: Xtra JetStream Explorer Download Speed:* 256Kbps (up to 6 times faster than dial-up)** Monthly high-speed allowance:* 3GB Total monthly charge for Telecom home line and calling customers: $49.95 Total monthly charge for other customers: $59.95 There we go. You can have "Faster" 3GB or "Slower" 15GB for around the same price. There you go. You may stop complaining about pitiful data caps now. |

Don't you dare knock the Teletubbies . They are a class act from the BBC . Many thousands of well-educated students studying hard at university have rolled out of bed early in the morning to watch this educative and informative tv programme . Suggest you go and play with your friends (www . sesamestreet . com) until mummy says it's time for tubby-bye-bye . |
