304144 2004-12-16 23:00:00 I signed up with Ihug fifteen days ago for their Bliink connection. I liked the idea of no cap on useage and their price was better than xtra.
I was told I would be connected "within 10 working days". I also ordered an ADSL modem which I was told would be sent out in a couple of days.

Since then I have not heard a word from them. No modem has arrived.

I phoned them yesterday and some dis-interested female said "You might get it next week or the week after. The modem will be sent after you are connected."

I'm picking that with Xmas comming up it will probably be the end of January before I get it.

Jack Just give ihug a ring every day,
It is more usefull if you have a handsfree phone because the ques can be long.

I had to give ihug a call every day, because my static ip address wasnt right..

Not before Christmas they won't.

3 Dec I called to get Jetstream my house.

8 Dec Technician came out to the exchange to do whatever to get it on.

8 Dec Come home from work and no ADSL. Spend the night on the phone with Xtra. Have to rebook a technician (earliest appointment see below and I call daily to see if there have been any cancellations).

29 Dec Fingers crossed ADSL will be at my house.
