I work for the largest ISP in New Zealand - we are strongly associated with the largest Telco (who have a virtual monopoly on landlines) We have been told to outright lie to customers relating to a number of issues, including * Dropping port speeds to virtually 0 on a number of P2P applications * Running out of IP addresses to give to paying DSL customers * DSL network outages due to extremely poor design - we are not allowed to confirm these until 'the word' comes through - even when half the country is without service. We have to tell these lies every day - I don't think it will suprise anyone to know that Xtra (the ISP) has a content partnership with MSN. The worst part is - half this stuff gets out in press-releases before we even get told at the helpdesk; and we're still meant to lie to customers even when the info is public! Despicable if you ask me - I'm leaving as soon as I can.	Guest (0)
