Dear Sir or Madam,
I have owned a computer for three
years and every year I have numerous periods of time where my internet
connection is absolute crap, simply drops out when unexpected. Every time I
reconnect it costs me another phone call and to add insult to injury I pay
G.S.T. on the call not to mention the line rental I pay whether the line works
or not. I have been informed by all servicemen that this is only going to
continue as the supply lines are old copper wire and are simply breaking
down. I notice the C.E.O. of Telstra can now earn as much as
seven million dollars a year, for bloody
what???? . Oh sorry I forgot it was most likely a bonus for the six billion lost in an Asian deal. Just last week at
"The Horizon" Resort Mission Beach which is in my area Telstra hosted a
conference for its people , for bloody what????. I now have to
wait at least five days before someone comes to " fix" my ongoing line problem.
All I hear from you dopes is everything with Telstra is just fine and it is the
right time to sell to the private sector. Well you can all get stuffed. If this
email reaches you it will be a bloody miracle.
Collect your salary and sleep
well but at least be seen to do something between your holidays and tea
breaks. J.L.Nixon.
ps, For your information it is
official the Mission Beach Tully Heads area has one of the worst reception areas
in the country and that includes T.V. as well as internet. So just what are you
bludgers going to do about it before you
sell?????????????
