Yes, that's right. This is the thread some of you have been waiting for: I Have an Issue With Telecom New Zealand (for a similar Vodafone New Zealand thread click here, for a similar TelstraClear thread click here).

Post here if you you have a genuine complaint or disappointing experience about Telecom New Zealand because:

- They provided a bad customer service experience;
- The requested connection was not switched on time;
- Xtra e-mail is slow;
- Xtra e-mail is not accepting login;
- There was an unresolved overcharge in your account;
- You have a written promise of a service that the company failed to deliver.

Don't post here or anywhere in the forums if you don't like Telecom New Zealand because:

- it's a large company (you know it's just a condition of the market, right?)
- it makes a profit (you know it's a private company, right?)
- they don't have the service you want (you know you can shop around, right?)
- you want to call it Telecum or Telescum (you know there's another site just for that, right?)
- it blocks smtp (you know you can request to be in the exception list, right?)
- the "unleashed" plan is not giving you 7.6 Mbps (you know the distance from the Exchange, the conditions of your own wiring at home, the number of devices connected to the wiring, and even weather interfere with this, right?)

Be clear and explain why. Off-topic posts will be deleted. One post per user only please!

Back in 2004 when I moved into a new flat in Lower Hutt we ADSL going, was going through Paradise Net on the old JetStart plan. Back then of course you needed to order the ADSL link from Telecom and order the ISP account through whoever you wanted.
When it got going I was surprised when the average download speed would always sit on 30k a sec, I thought this must of just been a random fluke.
When our first Telecom account came I nearly had a Heart Attack as we were charged over $4500 just for internet use! I rung the call centre and they could see the obvious error and passed the case onto their call centre manager who had the power to write off such a huge bill and they said they would get the speed/plan corrected. Few days later I notice they did do a change but took the speed limiting cap off our line altogether and could easily download from anywhere at over 400KB/sec, but after a few days it seemed to of dropped back to 256k. Next bill came, was just shy of $3000 this time again from data use. The Call Centre wrote it off again and I said its not very good I have to call a few times just to get put on the correct plan.
At least after that they did get us on the correct plan but working in Customer Service myself, they really should have the attitude of getting things right first time around.
