From 6 July to the 14 August to get Broadband

Yes, That quick!  My previous backyard ISP, a local unit of odd fellows that had no idea what service meant, shut me down on the 6 july.  I rang Optus and fiddled around with them until they finally stuffed everythig up causing me to cancel my request.

 

Optus sent me a letter which I recieved on 27 July, it was post marked 26 July and the letter was dated the 24 July The letter stated, amongst other things, that if there were any changes to my request for boradband to contact them prior to the 24 July.  Hmmmm! 

 

 I went to AAPT on the 24 July and it took them until the 14 August to set me up.  After many assurances that they knew how to set the modem up for Linux, the big day arrived and their tech staff said "What's a Linux".

 

Good Old Matthew was coming into town, so I am finally back on line.

 

Makes you confident of these big time operators, hey?
