I've just changed to AAPT for both home phone and BROADBAND (yes that's right BROADBAND). It was a great deal that bundles the two together (no contract) and actually costs less than the old Telstra home phone and dial-up plan. Pity that our mobile is under contract with Telstra, AAPT do a bundle there as well that's cheaper. Oh, and Ruth, not ALL tradesman are idiots. Some are (were) really nice guys that went out of their way to do a good job and actually have a conscience. PS. Rich I'll let you know when my new address is working. Cheers, Graeme.</p> Hey Rich, sounds like a barrell of laugh’s! I’ve just changed to AAPT for both home phone and BROADBAND (yes that’s right BROADBAND).

Your dealings with the TIO are impressive. You should manage the system.

How about you write an entry on “Idiot Trademen”?

Ruth.
