welll what can I say, I like many others have signed up for the talk/talk free broadband, I was hooked up immendiately to the telephone service.

As for the bradband, well still waiting. Within a matter of days I sent in my Mac code, only to get a call asking for it, so I gave it again and again and again. Five phone calls later and the same Mac code given to be told that I would be online within the week.

Happy ending, no chance, I have started to telephone on a weekely basis only to be told that I will be connected, but spend most of my time trying to expalin my postcode to foreigners!

I even went as far as send a email to COE office of cpw but only got an automated response, I did this after looking at the website and also reading with interest Charle Dunstans mission statement, ha ha.

Well were do we go form here, most disgruntled.

Could it be that ISP’s are making this out to be a bigger problem than it actually is? We’re a small country with an internet penetration of less than 60%, for every Youtuber there’s someone who only uses the internet to check their emails, more people surf on their mobile handsets than a few years ago. Surely things should even themselves up.
