No, I have had no problems with connections since I left Telecom/Xtra, with the exception of a 20 ton digger chopping through the cable down the road.  It took a couple of days to find and fix - but thats because it was telecom that had to fix he cable and they apparantly dont work in the weekends.

 

All I can say in telecoms favour, is they provide the bottom benchmark to gauge other providers by!
