I'm with you. The ACCC should take them on. I read recently in a search of Whirlpool during my quest that OPTUS has already been found in breach of something re the NBN by the ACCC around advertising, but I didn't bother to go read the details.

I'm surprised this backwards logic is still allowed. It's like the guy on the 730 story said -- $15 for up to 1 kg of meat -- that wouldn't be allowed. It could mean anything from 1gm to 1kg. It's ludicrous.


>Rationally, we should be sold a minimum, below which there's no charge, and a service guarantee, below which there's compensation.

Minimum service level agreements are (used to be?) common for commercial provisions. It makes much more sense.

Some psychopaths become serial killers, and other psychopaths become prosecutors. - Bob Ruff, Truth and Justice, June 2016

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
