| 1192958 | 2011-04-08 08:00:00 | friend had another one today. He said: What's with all these door knockers and flyers trying to get us to change phone & ISP? I'm always willing to accept a better ISP offer, but so far none come remotely close to xnet's $27 + $1 per GB data rate, and flexibility - only pay for data you use and not be penalised for having your phones with someone else. Had an aggressive telstra door knocker who when questioned about exchange compatibility told me other ISPs put "bombs" inside their modems so they won't work with their equipment! LOL, bombs.... |

[/I] LOL, bombs.... Bit of a worry, this might keep the bomb disposal experts busy. Luckily I bought my modem from Dick Smith I do not think they sabotage their modems. I did have a Mormon lady knock on my door yesterday. She gave me an invite to a meeting on Sunday. The ashes from the paper will go in my compost bin to help grow tomatoes next season. I do the same with any pamphlets from telstra. |

| 1192961 | 2011-04-08 10:14:00 | Well, electrolytic capacitors can make pretty good bombs if you overvolt or reverse them... Of course the cheap junk ones inside most routers will at least bust and leak after a while - but this is not ISP dependent, it's pretty much all of them. |

| 1192964 | 2011-04-09 00:33:00 | Too bad the lower prices on Xnet weren't ADSL2. One reason I left, even tho they've got better data free downloads than telstra, their speed was crap | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1192965 | 2011-04-09 02:58:00 | when was that? 2008? He's on the 256K plan, stayed on it from back when they had it. Suits him so he's right, no-one else has a plan like that. |
