It costs 400 thousand dollars to upload this video... for 12 seconds.

[buduki1]

For to long aussies have paid premium prices for poor quality products. But the dumb shits still pay it, same thing with woolies and Cole's. If you don't shop there they will be forced to drop the price.

[x0ngdave]

pay your bills asshole....

[Qflick]

Fuckn great! ive just signed up iphone 4 net $49 mth cap thingy wateva wif dem. i didnt hav a choice. Fukn optus, signed me up over the phone with internet service $99 a mth. Cock pricks direct debited my account for almost a year and didnt hook me up wif a modem or nuffin, just direct debited my money. Couldnt get thru to ne1. Wasnt til i asked suncorp to stop it n they took interest and rang them. Da nxt couple of days all the money they debited i got bak, fuk i got drunk that nite! FUKEM'ALL.

[DarthMuse]

i think its mostly upload that sucks so badly in australia thats what we need better and faster uploading.

[DarthMuse]

Australia really need better internet im sick of slow net

[AnxietyNeurosis]

@DarthMuse

Totally agree - we pay way to much for too little, In France for instance they get cable TV, Home Phone, Internet, and mobile all for what we pay for our Internet connection. It's a bit ridicules really isn't it

[MrToastie69]

For every rant like this i see x3 to x5 more rants about every other ISP. Just an observation

[AnxietyNeurosis]

@MrToastie69

This vid was made quite awhile ago and whilst it was relevant at the time what i have found is that back then there were allot of ISP's that offered fairly good deals. Now what seems to have happened is that allot ISP's have been bought out by larger ones and have taken onboard their unfair policies and shadey customer service. Perfect example is how most ISP's now count upload.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

TELSTRA FUCKING SUCKS!!! I don't hate anyone, but I do absolutely HATE Telstra. They screwed me around for years and I took them to the Fair Trading tribunal so many times. I win, but they never pay up on refunding my money for a mistake on a bill and it was a massive mistake. They direct debited my account before I had a chance to do anything about the error! Bastard thieves they are, they are above the fucking law those cunts.

[MediaAMz]

I got TPG yeah they have there moments, but now they are working great with me and im so happy, i get 130gb for 49.95 fuck u telstra.

[karmickorn]

@MediaAMz TPG is great value for money mate!

[MediaAMz]

@MediaAMz I totally hate tpg now going to telstra

[landyman97]

[pc4gamers]

[deaclen]

maybe you guys need to be educated on YOUR usage??? Maybe you guys dont realize how much pictures, music, etc uses. Maybe you should check the plans, browsing packages b4 you back and slander a corperation of any kind.

[AnxietyNeurosis]

Okay tell me then - why would a 10 min skype video call suck down something in the vacinty of 5 Gb. Or a single download a song from itunes suck down 1.3 Gb. I have many more instances documented and they were presented to Telstra and the ombudsman. Maybe you should do your research before you make idiot comments

[epicgamer0]

Telstra sucks real bad. I rang up and complained about my usage/plan i pay 60$ a month for 1gb which barely work without my usage over the limit. Now i called them up to say im going to a dif company, then they started to help. they gave me a satelite 2 weeks later. with not even a good set of instructions to fuckin install it. Fuck you Bigpond you Greedy fucks

[pc4gamers]

@joshtobrien dude maybe you can help me lol wrong place i know but i have adsl2+ bigpond elite but i have to waite 2 minutes to watch any video it sucks

[AnxietyNeurosis]

Your Obviously an uneducated try-hard trying to defend a place where you work. Did you watch the whole video. It wasn't about using up all my data. It was about how Telstra's Data Metre can be massively inaccurate and always in excess of what has been used (never in the negative) and then Telstra has the gaul to charge 15c per MB. This was confirmed by Telstra's own technician that came to my house you fool. Ask the telco Ombudsman what he thinks of Telstra's customer service, fuckin morons

[teknomansnake]

@AnxietyNeurosis

great work mate seriously.i used to work for bigpond and u pretty much got to have no soul and any customer that came thru to me and asked to cancel i was happy for them as it was like theres another 1 saved from this shithole.

also wat program r u using for ur videos as the background to this video was awesome so if u could tell me that would b great.thanks

[AnxietyNeurosis]

@teknomansnake

Hey mate thanks for the props - i use adobe premiere & After effects. The background was adapted from a template from Andrew Kramer check out his site his a master at after effects - videocopilot But it's very simple to create using after effects

[mozaks80]

Telstra... *shudders*

[dantitans1]

what dose usage mean

dose it mean my net is use up

[pokemontrivia99]

it means memory in another way

[HILLSHIGH]

Yeah i totally agree with you man, I just woke up and it says I've already used 900MB, and their prices are fucking insane im paying $140 a month for 60GB.

[jimboishere11]

Spot On Mate.

[DarthJebus06]

Bigpond once took 4 months with multiple visits to fix my phone line, which cut my internet out once every 5 minutes. A few months ago, I switched to Internode, with almost double the usage for the same price. With free uploads and Steam downloads. Which was great for me.

With Node, I haven't gotten a single dropout, no phone line problems, nothing. Telstra has to be the worst Telecom + internet service ever.

[Quilmess76]

Mate, the word you are look for is MONOPOLY :-) and send me your voip contact details pls.
