Bigpond connection, somewhat fishy
My inlaws got broadband yesterday. They’ve been using telstra bigpond dial up for close to a year now and have enjoyed having all their services (Foxtel, internet, home & mobile phones) on the one bill.
I try not to talk much computer stuff with them, as for I always end up spending time helping out. An example is the new computer they got recently that I was asked to help them “put it together”.
Any way, back to the broadband connection. I haven’t got the full details but basically a sales drone called the inlaws house and spoke to my father in law. And in less then an hour they had an installer at their house hooking them up. That just screams inappropriate to me. I’ll have to head around there some time soon to ensure that they have the appropriate software to avoid their machine getting trojaned to hell and back.
