Why I hate Telstra today
-
My new modem comes with new software. The Mac version LOOKS connected, but after a brief amount of time, it will in fact stop receiving any data, will not recognise the modem if I unplug and reconnect, and basically will be useless until I reboot. If I call support, they won't offer meaningful support to the Mac version, I doubt they even have seen a Mac in real life.

Why don't you "hire" a Telstra technician to setup your system ? I'm certain they offer that service. With all the ranting and moaning and bitching, I would think it is cheaper and you will know it will work.

Most modems are made for consumption in the U.S. market. Because of this they are manufactured to run right-side up in the Northern Hemisphere face-first. Turn your modem upside down and rotate horizontally 180 degrees and it will work as expected.

It's actually not possible. And even then, I don't see how they can make their software work if I can't.

*sigh* I wish. My inlaws are on internode on my recommendation. I used them when I lived in suburbia. Telstra wireless is my only broadband option.

At least it _REALLY_shows that it's not your problem but theirs, if the cannot render the service that you paid for according to the contract you both signed, then you could sue them. Or go to the media. There is probably a few "consumer rights" shows or newspaper that could use a couple of nice stories to help you resolve all of this.
