Here is the text of an email sent in frustration to iinet. For the record, I am using a G3 PowerBook 400, 640 meg ram, OS 10.2.5 (upgraded from OS 10.2.4 yesterday by combo download), Internet Explorer 5.2.2, Entourage 10.1.1.
Bliink worked fine from September 2002 until 10 March 2003 when I changed my connection point from Irwin Street Perth, to St Georges Terrace Perth (but retained the same phone number for the line). Since then I have nothing but trouble, despite having had Telstra come into the office to check the connection and line and to change the filter (I have a fax connected on the same line). ------ Forwarded Message From: Michael Hawkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2003 17:04:05 +0800 To: iiNet Support <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Bl..dy Bliink! I refer to my frequent emails about not being able to connect via my Bliink account over the past month. I assume that you have a record of them. Once again, I am connected via dial-up. Why did I switch to adsl, I ask? I was thinking of upgrading from a Bliink 256 account to a Bliink 512 account, but will that simply mean that I go from a frustrated Bliink subscriber who has to use dial-up more often the adsl, to a frustrated Bliink subscriber who has to use dial-up more often the adsl but at a higher monthly cost? Bliink unreliability over the past month has gone way beyond a joke. When is iinet going to hold Telstra accountable? Regards, Michael Hawkins. ------ End of Forwarded Message [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
