Hi
I am currently on 2 years contract with Slingshot homeline and BB, the old 15g advanced plan.
I am looking at switching to their ndsl.


1. Will changing to a NDSL plan equate to a disconnection for Homeline, tolls and regular DSL (and thus 3 contract termination fees?)

The main reason why I want to switch to ndsl is that I dont use Homeline much, and when I do, I am not satisfied with their homeline phone quality when I call my family, there is usually lots of background noise in the phone, but when I try to use voip solution like 2talk, there is no such problem. And I am sure there is no problem with my current phone, because I used all my existing equipments on Telecom 3 months ago, and everything is fine.

Looking under My Slingshot account, my Homeline showed up as Easyphone, but with all the sip proxy and italk address,


2. Is it an italk line?

3. If it is an italk line, why do they charge me a homeline rate for an italk line.........

4. So what exactly is an Easyphone?


Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

italk is their voip service but its bogus; the "easyphone" landline is not using voip at all - its on telecom PSTN but their display page shows it wrong. You could get the italk service as well, mite be worth testing it before you switch to NDSL. My account screen shows i have both:
09369xxxx Easyphone

09974xxxx iTalk a bit - $11 with 500 free minutes

So no easyphone isn't italk but I would say Slingshot is more confused than you are. No suprise really.




Time to find a new industry!
