Herald Sun printed salaries of overpaid strike monkeys as $130k pa for "unskilled labourers"

Commercial sites for ya! Bit of a rort but doubt the lackies are on $130k..

[dezz]

My internet speeds are laughable the majority of the time these days, guessing it's due to more and more people in the area being with telstra?

What are the chances of getting something out of them by complaining about the speeds? Discount on the plan? free superspeed package they offer on their website etc?

I can guarantee you the 'average' chippy wage is not $146k like they're reporting, but why let the truth get in the way of a story...

Yeah that's Australian journalism for you...

[dezz]

They should publish what they get paid to talk absolute shit..

[alr33x]

I bet they get paid fk all to be honest bunch of pipe dreamers

[dezz]

Whatever they get, it's too much.

They create nothing, they're parasites who feed off the suffering of others.

Even if you shade the incomes on that page by 30% it's obvious why people want to pay less for chinese workers

i pay for ADSL2+ and get 3-6mpbs every day. apparently its not low enough to complain to the local network people about.

1.5km away from exchange. not sure if under house is dodgy or exchange port is shite. either way, have to put up with it.

[dezz]

mine's usually under 3mbps....

[dezz]

currently 2.28.

[Leroy Peterson]

That should be enough to instigate an investigation by isp/owner.

[dezz]

will have to call the kunce, was happy to pay more for telstra because the speed was always good, but now it's a f**kin joke

[dezz]

How can adsl2 suck so much dick

[UNR33L]

Maybe look into an alternative? get a 4g gateway or something? I know data costs a shit load more on 4g.. but if it's better speeds might be worthwhile.. 2mbps is a joke

I wonder if Telstra offer unmetered foxtel over 4g?

f**king lol.

The judge heading up the royal commission on union corruption has charged taxpayers $125k to come to the conclusion that he shouldn't have to retire from his $12,400 a day job, despite the fact he himself had previously said any judge that a reasonable person could possibly consider biased must rescind himself.

And his excuse? He doesn't know how to read email (but has 2 computers in his office)

Jesus...
