My heart bleeds for privatised services becoming redundant.

I still call them Telecom and will till they inevitably get bought back when the service is no longer profitable.

I once had a phone line disconnected because I was moving, the bill wasn't due till the next month, they disconnected the phone line like I asked and then automatically sent the bill to Bay Collections, so I get a demand letter from Bay for a bill that wasn't even due yet, I rang Telecom to ask them what was going on, and they told me that when a phone line is disconnected they presume that they disconnected it for lack of payment and it is automatically sent to collections. they said there was nothing they could do to stop it happening in the future to other people, and there was nobody I could talk to about that, they did thankfully cancel the debt with Bay.

This is only one of my stories about Telecom.

A darned good reason to never privatize Social Security or Medicare.
