1382516 2014-08-26 02:26:00 Just been to Telecom(now called Spark) website to check for Ultra Fibre broadband availability - just for fun as I'm already on Ultra Fibre for more than 2 months now.

You know what? This is what I got: "Oh dang. It seems like you can't get Ultra Fibre yet. Jump on over to Ultra VDSL or ADSL Broadband "

What the hell are they doing?

1382517 2014-08-26 03:12:00 Rebranding is what they are doing.
And in another 5 years they'll need to rebrand again to distance themselves from the mess .

I found out , that some Internet Business Plan users cant check internet use online from now on (and confirmed by the bus help desk)
Nope, thats now officially gone .
:badpc:

And there was another xtra email outage last night, and again nothing on their status page when it happened .

1382521 2014-08-26 06:04:00 They can rebrand as much as they like, I still won't forgive them for not allowing texts to be exchanged between their network and Vodafone's back when I arrived here, in what must have been the dumbest move of both this and the last century gary67 (56)

They're relying on the Chorus map, the same as all the other ISPs.

Rebranding in this way is pathetic. How did they manage to be sucked in to the idea at all? And didn't someone tell them that a "sparky" (sparkie) is an electrician?

"Don't worry about the cost" someone else said, "We'll just charge $1.50 a time to send out our monthly accounts in the post"
