56822 2002-06-24 02:15:00 so anyway, the company I work for has decided that instead of setting up it's email accounts through it's registered domain name, it decided to register a domain name and then register five other email address with xtra. On top of that a woman who works from home decided that in moving house she had to change from paradise to xtra because telstra didn't go to her area and if your using telecomm lines did you know you have to use xtra as your internet host? So now after sending out a mail out that she has changed her email addy we are stuck with xtra. Gee wonder if she has had the foresite to actually disconnect from paradise.

uggh - idiots - bomvoyage to 10mb of free space

56823 2002-06-24 03:37:00 thats how they make money, let people folishly spend to much ;-)

kinda like someone i know who was paying over $100 a month for about 10hrs use a month because they where on a pay by minute plan.

mind you vodafone informed me that i could go down a plan(new plans came out)which i did saving around $30 a month. guess who i'll be sticking with. :)

56824 2002-06-24 04:04:00 Hey if they managed to register a new e-mail account with Xtra, they are doing well, Xtra make it so hard that there are probably people out there who would get separate access accounts to achieve that....

They didn't get separate internet access accounts for each address did they????

Did you know the F1 spell check doesn't think xtra is a real ISP?????

56826 2002-06-24 04:19:00 Did you say that the person had to change to xtra as you can't have a paradise account on telecom lines???


You can because I have a paradise connection on telecom lines

56827 2002-06-24 04:33:00 I think that there was a certain amount of sarcasm in the statement about not being able to have a paradise account on a telecomm phone line - I just think teddy is dealing with idiots who aren't aware of the fact that a phone line and an internet provider are independent of each other to most extents Erin Wilson (504)
56828 2002-06-24 04:37:00 of course they have gone ahead and got seperate internet access accounts- that's what I meant, that is why it's so ridiculously stupid teddy (598)
56829 2002-06-24 04:52:00 Oh sorry I am in a boring class about to fall asleep

56830 2002-06-24 05:09:00 Xtras client base starts with people who beleive that seeing they use computers and phone lines for internet access, they have to get this from thier telco. Therefore one of this thread should be surprising really...... Chris Wilson (431)
