Have envied Melbourne for some time due to their access to 100Mb Cable service where available and became very interested in December 2011 when reading a press release that the 100Mb plans were to be released in other cities including Sydney very soon. Click to read more

Ineptocracy

Ineptocracy (in-ept-o-cra-cy)- a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

amaysim Mobile and Data

A few years ago I became fed up with paying way too much for capped mobile phone and data plans and moved to a provider that offered basically pay as you go mobile phone and data service.

Unfortunately that provider ceased offering international roaming with that service and to be honest the $300.00 pre paid deposit required to enable international roaming when it was offered was a little prohibitive. Click to read more

CGU Light Years Better Than Employers Mutual

Years ago an insurance broker set our business up with Employers Mutual for workers compensation insurance.

Phoning Employers Mutual was a real pain and used to leave me seeing red afterwards.

Paying Employers Mutual was extremely difficult and the payment options were limited and archaic. Click to read more

Decided to Never Use Woolworths Again

Early December 2010 I noticed Woolworths promoting a Qantas Frequent Flyer Mastercard that would have replaced an existing Mastercard.

Applied online successfully and received a submission confirmation.

My credit file was accessed a couple of weeks later.

Waited a few more weeks and as there had been no contact from Woolworths I returned to the Woolworths Everyday Rewards website. There is no phone number to be found on the Woolworths Everyday Rewards website so Woolworths were emailed using the form on the Woolworths Everyday Rewards website . Click to read more

Mobile Phone Providers

Interesting to see the interest raised recently by website Vodafail.

A few years back I was working at a location where mobile phone reception was patchy with my Telstra service so I purchased an Optus and a Vodaphone pre-paid SIM to test their respective services. Click to read more
