This review is for Vodafone Customer Service, Sydney NSW

TERRIBLE, I was with vodafone for a year prior to moving to pacific pines and a year while we were here, I had NO service unless i stood on my outdoor table in the backyard. So basically i was paying for a service i couldnt use! I called pretty muchevery week for 2 months, gettting discounts here and there being reassured it would be fixed soon with new towers! After speaking to countless supervisors they finally let me end my contract without having to pay it out. NONE of the operators know what they are talking about, you sit on the phone for up 2-3 hours at a time and none of them speak proper english!

p.s the vodafone reception is still NOT fixed in this area 2 years later!

Approximate cost: $2000

This review is for Foxtel, Macquarie Park NSW

We had foxtel before we moved into our new place and had to switch to austar.

Channels for everybody! love that you can switch your subscription whenever you like.

Love that we could watch and record programs at the same time and the movies are cheap also.

The only problem we ever had was when the weather was bad sometimes the channels would cut out but i spose thats beyond their control.

Great customer service, no waiting in long queues over the phone. Price isnt too bad either.

Approximate cost: $150

The staff are great here, very helpful, they offer honest advice and dont mind that the kids run wild in there :/ Didn't know about the rewards program until one of the ladys mentioned it and it a great money saver! The store is always nicely presented and clean and early opening hours perfect for before school!

This review is for Origin Energy, Sydney NSW

We signed up with origin a few years ago after the previous company we were with upped their prices. We didnt really do much research on origin but it was one of the first companies that popped into mind when we decided to change so we called them and what they had to offer was cheaper than the other 2 companies we had called so we went with them. after our first bill we received a letter saying origins energy rates are going to increase from this date. We stayed with them until we moved 9 months later. No real problems just disappointed rates went up not long after we signed.

This review is for Southport Olympic Pool, Southport QLD

i used to swim here alot when i was a teenager. The diving boards were great fun! We also used to take younger cousins so its good for all ages with the baby pool. They have a little canteen that sells hot food, snacks and drinks ect all for a few dollars and the showers and changing rooms were clean. The staff are helpful and responsible. Perfect location right off the highway in the centre of southport, i think it is due to reopen mid next year. Will be perfect for summer as there is a waterpark and bbq area close by now.

This review is for Gold Coast Hospital, Southport QLD

Had all 3 of my children here. My first born was 7.5 weeks early and had to stay in hospital for just under 2 weeks in the SCU. The midwives and nurses were so supportive and caring. I had to leave the hospital after a week and travel daily to come visit her and it was a reassuring feeling to be able to leave your newborn overnight with them knowing they would take good care of her. Great advice and services available to new mums and believe it or not i actually enjoyed the hospital food.

We havent had much luck with our childrens health, alyssa my eldest contracted Swine flu and pneumonia at the same time 2 weeks before i gave birth to my son, so we were both put into isolation for a few days. Then my son rolled down 20 wooden stairs when he was 1.5 and split his head open on the corner of the bench when he was 3. My youngest daughter ended up getting whooping cough when she was around 4 months old and every visit we have made the staff have been exceptional and im very grateful.
