1229903 2011-09-09 18:12:00 I have been very dissapointed with Orcon. It was impossible to get through to their help line when my internet didn't work (from the moment I signed up). Eventually I resorted to email on Aug 8th....they replied September 1st (apologizing for the 'delayed response'. I had already changed providers. As I was signed up to direct debit Orcon took a total of $206.96 from my account and have not replied to my request to receive a refund for the service I never received. emmanelson (16544)
1229904 2011-09-09 19:40:00 I will give Orcon a miss in that case. Cicero (40)

Send them another email and tell them you will take it to Disputes if not refunded.
Then take it to Disputes.

1229907 2011-09-09 21:54:00 Have been with Orcon for several years now and have had excellent service. Longest I have ever waited for helpdesk was about 5 minutes. Problems have always been solved, and they even reduced my cost when they noticed I was overbuying my requirements.

Strongly recommend them.

1229908 2011-09-09 21:54:00 Yeah things have been going downhill for Orcon a lot lately, for some reason that Genius has had the total opposite of the desired effect ... Chilling_Silence (9)
1229909 2011-09-10 00:02:00 Orcon has always done right by me, fast service good prices and a pleasure to deal with.
Agree with Richard, highly recommended.

1229911 2011-09-10 00:40:00 Just interested.... where does the poster quentin+ get the original poster's first name.....
Both are first time posters on this site.
Just seems an odd little thing to me.......
Advertising in some way?

The OP's username - emmanelson. ;)

So either Emma Nelson, or Emma from Nelson.

Great to have you here Quentin. I'm sure this will be sorted out quick smart, I for one have always been very impressed with Orcon, but it seems in NZ anyone can have any kind of experience with any ISP - someone was singing Sligshot's praises the other day... they must have never called them. :xmouth:
