Line scam.
I just recently had a new fixed line connected.
Telstra have 3 basic fixed line 'packages'.
Basic $19 / mth rental (most expensive call costs)
2nd $26 / mth (Bit cheaper call costs)
3rd $35 / mth (cheapest call costs)
Anyway, I got the 19/mth one. Reason being. I have a Broadband connection & I use the internet ph. so I don't make any calls using the actual Telstra ph line directly. Therefore no call costs from telstra & so the high call coast choice didn't matter.
They asked if I was using Telstra broadband. When I said NO, they said I can't have the lowest line rental plan as "non telstra" broadband does not work on that plan. I MUST take the dearest plan as that has been configured for "external" broadband service providers.
I told them to go jump & connect the cheap plan.
Surprise, surprise I have not had one problem with my NON-telstra broadband connection.
