a very big thank you to jean. u just saved me $209! let me explain to u guys
i m currently applying for an internet connection. i was under the assumption that i was unable to use the current phoneline in the house as that phone line is currently shared by 2 housemates and they are using dial-up connection. due to my IT stupidity (then..not today), i thought i was unable to use that phoneline. y? coz i thought whenever one of the housemates used the phoneline, i will not be able to access the internet. stupid me...i m subscribing to a broadband connection!
so acting under this false assumption, i called telstra (the phone service provider) to connect the line in my room. a tel no. was issued to me and the technician would come down next monday to activate the line. the charge was $209.
i called jean last nite to talk abt some stuff when somehow we digressed to the internet thingy. she told me tt it was possible to use the current phone line and this fact was ascertained by the computer guy on campus i consulted this morning. all i needed was a filter i called up telstra to cancel my order....NO CHARGES AT ALL! phewz! had the technician come on mon, activate my line and i were to disconnect it later, i would still be charged the $209.
so, thanks to jean again! so all matters resolved, i shall just wait for the email telling me abt the status of my internet application. i reckon all these should be completed in 2 weeks time.
lessons learnt: i now know wat a filter is. jean is a very reliable fren. NEVER MAKE HASTY DECISIONS WITHOUT COMPLETE INFORMATION. esp when such decisions involve a lot of money....haha!
