The New Flatmates

Tonight I actually talked to the flatmate I don't hate, and I discovered that she's actually quite lovely - and that she also hates the flatmate that I hate.

She told me that the flatmate that I hate is getting married, and moving out. That makes me so very, very happy.

It means that we can change phone/internet providers. Knowing I'm probably not going to be here much longer than around 8 months, Orcon seemed the logical choice to check out. They can be awful to get on the phone sometimes, but overall, they are still the best provider I've ever had.

At the moment on Telecom we get 3 gigs of internet and a phone line for $100.

With Orcon, we get 25 gigs of internet (and not even I can use that much unless I'm really trying), a phone line with unlimited national calls AND unlimited calls to a country of our choice (which is particularly cool, as the flatmate I like comes from South Korea), for $120.

Guess who's stiffing the flatmate we hate with the Telecom early disconnection fee?

It's mean, but maybe she should have considered that before repeatedly pissing off her flatmates and signing up with an awful provider.

Disclaimer: I don't actually hate the flatmate that I hate, she's just nuts.
