Another easy mental day for me today with a reference to the only time someone (worthwhile) thought my words worth quoting. The someone in question was The Age newspaper in a March 2002 article on the slow uptake of broadband in Australia.
Another broadband policy critic, James Harris, has been a Telstra broadband customer for two years, during which time he says his loyalty has been abused. After signing for an unlimited download service, Telstra moved the goal posts, forcing him on to unfavourable contract terms.
“I have been subjected to numerous contract changes, price increases, the introduction of download limits followed by the lowering of these limits, and other monopolistic behaviour,” he says.
The systems developer for a Melbourne university says most Telstra broadband customers would “dearly love to leave Telstra” but there is no competition to turn to.
