| 1157000 | 2010-11-28 18:48:00 | that explains it... slingshot has the worst website ever. | jareemon (5207) | ||
| 1157001 | 2010-11-28 20:53:00 | All these smaller providers are running very tight business models thanks to Telecom's so called "Wholesale" division pricing that is dubious at best. Bad service is bad service, but you need to look at the state of the industry here in NZ to understand why so many small providers are really struggling to keep enough feet on the ground and the doors open. |

| 1157005 | 2010-11-28 22:03:00 | Their cancellation fees are horrendous, too. I recently had to pay a $300 Slingshot bill because I moved houses and wanted to cancel before my year was up. I know they warn you there'll be a fee, but $150 for someone to disconnect me, which they can do remotely? Ugh. | Siobhan Keogh (16063) | ||

| 1157007 | 2010-11-28 22:12:00 | Made in China! High Quality! You buy! Exactly what they were saying about Jap.. manufacturing in the late 60's Then they became the benchmark for quality/reliablity in most products. China is making many hi quality goods, try & find something not made in China :D In fact , some Brand name power tools may just be re-branded chinese generics. - except the $300+ pro tools. |
