Telstra promises home visits

Telstra is planning home visits to rural CDMA mobile phone users, to try to
pursuade them to move to the new Next G network.

The telco says it wants to prove to customers the coverage of the new
network is the same, as it tries to convince the Federal Government to allow
the closure of CDMA.

Telstra Countrywide manager Geoff Booth denies the company is trying to
pressure customers.

"The main point is just to prove to people that the network is up and
working and works very well, and in speaking with some of these people
yesterday, there is a lot of surprises that customers are getting when
people come onto their properties and they're getting coverage where they
never did before," he says.

And telstra will discover that their lies about it being just as good are just that, lies.

And it wont be able to do that, you watch.

Fat chance.

That's not a job I'd want...

Standing in the paddock with an irate farmer who doesn't give a flying
hoot about anything other than making calls, who's trusty old 2280 gets
2-3 bars while your ZTE "Country Phone" and other random Blue Tick
phones get zip. And then you tell him that in 3 months the 2280 will
also get 0 bars.
