I find it amusing (and also annoying) that sale droids will call me offering great deals on internet and mobile phone.

So I tell them the truth: I currently spend less than AU$100 per year on my mobile (Virgin), and I get high speed ADSL2+ , 200Gb of downloads, for AU$80 per month (TPG).

Its amusing to hear them flounder for an explanation, and eventually admit that they cannot do better.

And the reason they cannot do better is that I’ve shopped around and deal directly with the ISP/phone company, while they have to pay phone consultants to drum up more business.

Otherwise, I like to string them along, as I mentioned in a prior post: annoying marketing phone calls
