No, alas! Just a general rant, so here goes...
Lamenter: I am on an Optus Fusion 79 plan. That's all standard local and national calls and calls to Optus mobiles + 120 GB data per month.
Chorus: A-ah!! Very good! (Other sounds of approval.)
Lamenter: I recently received a letter saying that the "Plan" was going up to $85/month and that 13/1300 numbers would have a 35c charge.
Chorus: O-oh-h!! Alack! (Various other intonations and some gnashing of teeth.)
Lamenter: And while I went to pay my (separate) Optus mobile account, looking to see how I could avoid using the usual 1300 number, I found no apparent way of NOT incurring a 1% fee.
Chorus: No--oh! Oh, woe! (Falling to knees, some pulling out of hair and rending of clothes.)
Lamenter: And so I herewith resolved to express to Optus my displeasure at this downturn of service!!! - As soon as I have finished my tax return.
Chorus: Hooray! Hear! Hear! (Some clashing of spears on shields.)
Exeunt, Lamenter and Chorus, to the sounds of much righteous banter, some amicable back-slapping, and a clumsy attempt to hoist upon shoulders.
...
And so, good audience, who here has suffered a like fate?
What news on the Rialto of any better deals ?
Methinks it is time to redefine ISP as intermittent service providers, and lots of other unmentionable stuff.
(Submissions in like vein are welcome.)
