I used to work for a big telco, while employed I had a 30% discount on all phone calls from my home phone service. Now, with the COVID19 caper making more people work from home, the National Broadband Network struggles to cope in some places. Mine is OK, according to microfiche plans they didn't want back when I retired, there is 136 metres of plain old telephone wire between the fibre-optic cable hub and my modem/router. So /I'm getting as close as one can expect to the maximum internet connection speeds I'm paying for.

The telco/carrier/ISP I used to work for is now just a content source for the NBN, with the extra pressure, they've been unable to provide tech & device support to the level I'm actually paying for, so they have applied two months of rebates for a total of $40 to my latest bill. In addition to that, I get 10% off the full amount for being an ex-employee.

Which means the bill this month is $86.
