Amnet Internet is fair Dinkum

April 17, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

I switched from IInet to amnet or amcom telecom about 4 years ago and definetly a happy camper.Despite of tempting things like Naked DSL and other nice offers, i have stuck with amnet. I was with TPG telecom before ..good plans.. but bad service

Prompt and reliable internet broadband -Amnet

Its just because they are a smaller company and they provide good service . Over the period i had their internet connection they have had problems only twice, and eve when they did , both times i was quite surprised that they called immediately saying that their Bulwer exchange had a problem and they were currently fixing it , NOW that’s personal service.

Good Internet download limits, Local human customer service personnel

Their broadband is fast enough and their speeds and limits are awesome, infact tehy were giving me 150 GB download limits long before the top internet providers started doing the same. One thing thats very important for me is getting a local human on the customer line who cares, and amcom certainly does have that and on the 2 occasions that i needed some support i got real nice friendly an prompt service from a customer rep.

If you looking for a reliable , good internet provider , you surely cant go past amcom , there might be other providers a bit cheaper or with more download limits.. but it certainly makes up for that with good and reliable customer service and broadband.

Special offer – Amnet Australian ISP

They recently had a special offer of a FREE month and FREE connection on the 12 and 24 month and also being fair to older customers “12 oldest residential customers were given a free month each to share in the 12 th birthday celebrations

Get a free ipad 2 for refferals

Currently there is also a offer where you can refer 3 friends to Amnet by using our Refer-A-Friend promotion, and you will get an iPad 2 for your efforts. You need to be a member for this , so let me know before you sign up (contact me ) as i will give you a referral ( which will include a $20 credit to your account) and then you can do the same and share the love and prizes by referring friends.

Here are the prices

Do contact me for a referral and credit before you sign up to be eligible for the credits and free ipad offers

Email Etiquette and email writing tips

December 17, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Often we receive emails from friends and relatives and wish they paid more attention while sending a message that sounded rude or then just forwarded randomly to other people or something similar that got us a bit annoyed or concerned .

Here is a short list of rules that can be followed so that you are seen a s a good email citizen doing the right thing. Please do add to this if something comes to your mind in t he comments columns below and will add it if appropriate.

Email etiquette

1. Take Another Look Before You Send a Message – Email Etiquette Rule
Don’t send anything you don’t want to send.

2. Do Not Default to “Reply All” or overuse Reply to All – Email Etiquette Rule
Only use Reply to All if you really need your message to be seen by each person who received the original message.

3. Clean Up Emails Before Forwarding Them – Email Etiquette Rule
Forwarding emails is a great way of sharing ideas, but make sure the original idea is really meant for all in your list and if the original email sender
would have wanted his or her message sent to all ?

4. Writing in All Caps is Like Shouting – Email Etiquette Rule
Don’t shout in your emails (and all caps is so difficult to read).

5. Make one last check that the address or addresses in the To: field are those you wish to send your reply to.

6. Always end your emails with “Thank you,” “Sincerely,” “Take it easy,” “Best regards” – or something nice !
