Telecom
Sometimes it is useful to walk around and kick the tires of a
prospective investment, just as you would a used car.
In kicking the tires of Telecom, as a customer I can tell you that every
time it rains heavily the cable from my place to the exchange becomes
waterlogged which causes my internet connection to drop out. Also the local
exchange is so ancient that it is unable to handle 56K modems correctly. Local
users of dial up connections to the internet have to throttle back their 56k
modems to get reliable service.
If Telstra-Saturn establishes a local service, it will pick a large number
of customers who are unhappy with Telecom's level of service.
