I hate Telstra
I had a phone service with Telstra at my old address. When I moved I vowed to never use their services again. Yes, I know my money eventually gets to them, and yes I know they get more money wholesaling their services then they do retailing them.
Over the last week I have been trying to disconnect my old telephone service simply because I'm getting bills for a service I never use.
My first call - The automated answering system hung up on me.
Second call - The automated system waited a little longer before hanging up on me
My third call - I got to speak to a person, a real person. They promptly transferred me to another real person, so far so good. This guy then asked my what my enquiry was about. I replied and he put me on hold for 15 minutes. I hung up. **** them.
My fourth call - The automated system hung up on me again
My fifth call - I told the automated system I would like to make a complaint, I got put through fairly quickly. I told the kind lady all the problems I have been having. She found it rather funny, but helped in putting me through (ya. On hold again) to another dude who was able to disconnect my phone after a range of silly questions.
