i left Telecom after they tried to sell me a Sanyo phone on a 12 month contract and the salesman tried to say they were better than the Nokia and sony ericsson models from Vodafone.
The only reason they have a reasonable coverage is that they had the monopoly on cell sites,twenty years ago that is,but they are so far behind its laughable. They were buying phones from, the UK as a defunked system was shutting down,and selling them as " the latest" remember the 025 network??
Best thing I ever did was go digital with Vodafone...never had a problem.
haha this video's so true, wish vodafone could take over telecon...they sometimes randomly call you up if you've been with them for years and tell you that they appreciate your business and give you $20 free credit =D
lol about 6 years ago I wrote a letter to these pricks and headed it up TELECON hahaha id like to think that saying has gained momentum so after a few beers ill ill stumble accross credit for it im sure, but more realisticly its probably like minds tho. brilliant add love it lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
YOU GUYS ARE ALL PESIMISTIC BASTARDS AND NEED To GET oVER YOURSELVES!!! telecom is a great company and if it wasnt for them their would be no cables in the ground, no companies perfect but they try! its pathectic to think a grown person could make such a stupid video - and even worst to have so many people think its great. NZ is becoming more pathetic every day
Yes and Telecom exploit the fact that they are the only company that own the cables in the ground by charging high prices and not upgrading those cables so we can't get faster internet.
yeah ok do you have a spare 2 billion dollars so I can start my own phone company. Actually I could just get a string and a couple of cups and join them together and that would be a more reliable network than telecom.
Hehe too right asasinz2!! Lets all start our own telco companies! Because we all have a spare 2 Billion dollars floating around, not to mention red tape!. I know, why don't we ask the govt. to fund it by diverting funds from welfare !!
@asasinz2 Yeah,and unless you ran your own poles,cables and everything else,you are still at the mercy of the bastards.I had a crap internet connection for months,and Telstra NZ admitted they are at the mercy of Telescum...
Telecom was originally owned by the state but the government in 1990 was stupid enough to sell it for way less than what it is worth along with our rail network, commercial radio stations, a banking service just to name a few things.
It used to be owned by the state until 1990 when the government were stupid enough to sell it for way less than what it is worth. They also sold our commercial radio stations, rail network and Postbank.
Uh, that quote sounds REALLY out of context. It sounds like this CEO was saying "this is what we've been doing and now this is what I propose we should doing."
Yeah I'm a telecom customer and they aren't exactly helpful on the phone and they should tell you about HIDDEN COSTS!!! We upgraded our internet and they conviently forgot to tell us there would be MAJOR extra costs. Haha shame your share price went down majorly awhile ago. However doesn;t seem to have done anything to Ms. Gattung but probably hurt mum and dad share holders. Rant over.
That video was sheer brilliance! God, I hate Theresa Gattung and damn Telecom - well, at least the government has done somthing about the godforsaken monopoly!
Where can I find the original ad?
