Vodafones pretty good - same deals, same price (give or take a few bucks)
Least you can speak to someone whos 1st language is English and is in the same country as you.
Telecoms ok as well nowadays as long as you dont need any help, then you ahve to wobble your head and become an idiot

I spent over 20 hrs (yes 20) trying to get our phone and internet connected. Complete and utter incompetence.
What got it sorted out once and for all, was a pissy message on Telstras facebook page - had the big Cheese in NZ on the phone within hrs - he sorted out at least getting it all disconnected etc so we can move on\

BTW, ring Telstra before 8am, and you usually get a Kiwi

I want to move away from woosh -is Telstra worth the effort ?

ANYONE but Telstra Brian!!

Orcon then I think it will be -

Hey Josh it will depend on the quality of router. The cheap standard ones can certainly slow you down on wireless compared to being plugged in on full speed but the faster ones will do a pretty good job of providing lag free gaming etc.
