[plug] consolidated supply

[David Dartnall]

Maybe someone can help please.

The following is an email I sent to Amnet, my current adsl2+ supplier, 
and their reply.
Does anyone have any suggestions / hints to help in the very confusing 
(to me) process
of getting organised in this regard. It's hard to assess the merits of 
the multitude of
offerings!

I have had a conversation with a gentleman from iinet, and he has 
emailed a fairly
comprehensive summary of their range, but I still find it hard to assess.
I'm not too sure about their BOB proposal - seems to be too high initial 
outlay and
the lack of a phone in the case of a power outage bothers me.

Amnet email:

I'm one of your customers.
You provide our adsl2+ service on a bi-yearly pre-paid basis - 2G + 2G.
Our local telephone service is provided by Telstra, paid on monthly invoice.
Optus provides our international landline telephone service, no 
contract, paid on monthly invoice.
My mobile phone service is also Optus, no contract, paid on monthly invoice.
And I'm sick of this shemozzle, it's costing too much - we need to 
consolidate with one supplier.
We do not accept direct debit arrangements.
Please email your proposition(s) / options in the event that you can 
offer a suitable service.

Amnet reply:

Hi Dave, unfortunately we only supply ADSL services on top of already 
active phone services.
We are unable to offer a substitute that you require.

regards to all, (looking forward to karmic soon).
