How long should a Phone/Internet outage last? 4 Months?
My connection at Auckland Rd Warkworth has been completely unreliable for 4 months now.
I'm with Slingshot, the retail arm of 2Talk Communications
Several technicians have visited, “found” the problem, and “rectified” it – although not a single one has actually done so. I even got a $250 fee for a callout! One in particular claimed it was our burglar alarm causing the fault, and “disconnected” it – he actually left it connected to the phone line and chopped off the KEYPAD wires!!!! I had to power down the alarm to shut it up. This is blatant damage by an unskilled person and I will need to get it fixed, now.
So, Saturday night we finally got dial tone again. But internet is still abominably slow. I have latency of anywhere between 300 and 2974 ms, meaning most java-based website functions fail (eg, captcha im-not-a-robot)
What do I have to do to get it fixed? I’m beyond upset. Surely a customer who has been with Slingshot for over 10 years deserves better support than this?
Who do I contact to get action? Do I have to go to the government or what?

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
