| Telstra accused of dirty tactics | 16 Oct 2008 |

| 'Telstra has been accused of using deception and delaying tactics to discourage customers of rival broadband internet companies. Chairman of Adelaide company Adam Internet, Gregory Hicks, has detailed how the nation's maligned broadband service is made worse by Telstra undermining competition by disrupting customers' connections. "Telstra have the attitude that, because it is not a Telstra customer, they can walk away and leave them stranded," he said. Mr Hicks also raised his concerns with a Senate inquiry this month, after a two and a half year struggle to have Adam Internet connected to his Hindmarsh Island home. He gave evidence that, after being told for two years and six month there were no broadband "ports" available on the island, his wife had the home connected within a week when she used her maiden name. Mr Hicks had been alerted to the Telstra misinformation by a neighbour who said he had been connected to a Telstra service within one month..." Telstra accused of dirty tactics (179.5K JPG) | |

| "Rebecca Razzano estimates Skype has saved her hundreds of dollars in international calls over the past four years. The 33-year-old from Prospect said two of her best friends reloacted to London and Italy in 2004 and Skype had allowed the three to keep in contact at no cost. "Anytime that any one of us is online we can see if the others are there and we just dial in and have a chat," the national solutions manager for Adam Internet said. Ms Razzano has Skype on both her work and home laptops, which have built-in cameras and microphones. Her girlfriend in Italy recently had a baby and video calls through Skype meant she could see the new arrival regularly. "It has saved me hundreds of dollars - especially when you're making extra calls because someone's had a baby," she said." Communication the Key (3.2MB PDF) | |
