Has anybody else had the misfortune to suscribe to Aora, the 'replacement' for Astro? I was stupid enough to believe that they would keep Goal TV as part of their package, only to be right royally miffed when , first Goal TV 1, and now Goal TV 2 disappeared. Apparently, they are heading away from being sports orientated to a more 'family oriented' package.

I signed up for a specific set of channels, paying a year in advance, and after four months I no longer receive what I subscribed to. In any other country, I'd expect to have some form of recourse. But here? Forget it. Customer services? The words chocolate and teapot spring to mind. I guess they are very good at doing what they are employed to do - fobbing off people with "Sorry, lah, we can't do anything" long enough for the customer to throw the towel in. Why should they bother - they've already got the money...

In my mind, this is theft, pure and simple.

What do you lovely people think?

Agree with you. I didn't subscribe as I thought they would go out of business.

Anyone know who will have the footy rights next season?

Someone told me you need Bloomberg TV but goodness knows how to subscribe to it.

In a similar vein I pay for 256kbps mobile internet and consider myself fortunate to get 2kbps most evenings. Indosat customer service simply couldn't understand why I wouldn't want to get up at 3am when 'demand is low' to check my email...

Malu, check out first media www.firstmedia.com.

A friend of mine has just had internet and tv installed in BSD. The internet is fast!

I have speedy (slowy) installed, I usually get around 45kbps

Yep...

I have used First Media for the last two years, and never had a problem. Internet is always good and really fast Smile

We pay about 625thousand per month, internet and cable tv package.
