You're kidding, right? If I move stuff around my house, and don't get around to plugging the modem in again for a couple of days, Optus charges me a small mint to get it going again? Or if I kick the power pack out of the ratsnest powerboard and don't notice I'm out a chunk of change? Where did you find out about this? Is it sitting somewhere on Optus' website, or is it in the manual for the modem, or what? Gee, I almost wish I had Optus cable now just so I could have a nice long menage a trois between myself, the ACCC or Fair Trading, and Optus - with the latter most definitely being the bitch. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
