Horrible service, support, pricing etc. Avoid like the plague. Support does not respond to problem. Up time is laughable. Hold for customer service can be hours. Way more expensive than it should be for such bad quality. Shameful.

Moved to Uptime to get away from Webcentral. Best decision ever! Support and transition was impeccable. Great attitude with patience and understanding. 6 STARS!

This review is for Jetstar Airways, Melbourne VIC

AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE THAT THEY ARE! Jetstar is not only the worst airline I have ever encountered, It's one of the worst companies. Rude employees and terrible attitude and customer service. It would take a book to specify all the details and reasons of my hatred for them, but suffice to say I will never fly with them again. I will happily pay 2x to 3x the price to avoid them. The only thing that would please me and make up for their horrible treatment is their declaring bankruptcy. I know this will not happen due to the fact that so many "sheep" will always use them for the low cost so they have no reason to even try. BIH Jetscum!"

This review is for Amaysim, Melbourne VIC

Just started with them after learning to hate Virgin Mobile and going by other reviews here. The phone lines were very busy due to new offer they had, but when I spoke to a rep, he was knowledgeable and very polite and IN AUSTRALIA!!! So far have no complaints. This is on the Optus net work just like Virgin but Amaysim seems to provide better options and service anyway. It also means reception is not the best in some areas, but worth it to not have to put up with Telstra etc.

Approximate cost: $20.00

This review is for Virgin Mobile, Melbourne VIC

Have been with Virgin mobile for a few years (a few too many) and when I travel have trouble logging into my voicemail on which I depend for business. The system works on and off erratically. When calling from overseas to correct, I get argumentative people who do not listen and talk over me. Each time it took hours of multiple calls to reach anyone that could help. This has cost me $100s of dollars of lost income without an apology and a no give a damn attitude. Additionally, reception is pretty bad in too many areas in Melbourne. I suggest avoiding Virgin Mobile like the plague that they are.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for TAKE A PAWS Dog Training & Behaviour Modification, Bentleigh VIC

I used their service a few years ago with my staffy to correct some issues he had. I had recently adopted another dog from a shelter and after a few days there were problems with both dogs not getting along well. I did not want to take the new dog back so after the excellent results I got last time with Sam, I did not hesitate to book him again. He came out and quickly assessed the reasons for the dog's behaviour. After a couple of hours of work and teaching me what was needed to maintain them, they are now good friends and we are a happy family. I cannot say enough about how great this company's service is. I am so thankful I found them.

This review is for Pizza E Birra, St Kilda VIC

We regularly go here for the excellent food. It is consistently served quickly and with a smile. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and polite. The wonderful owner is usually there cooking and supervising to keep everything running smoothly. The menu is varied and not overwhelming with daily specials that never disappoint. Pizzas are on the gourmet side, made in a wood fire oven and are as good as any you can find in Italy. Pastas and salads are also as good as you would expect here. My personal recommendation is the home made Tiramisu which is to die for. Does it sound like I'm raving?...I am!!!

This review is for Pause, Balaclava VIC

A great disappointment. We ordered a selection of dishes and while trying to think of something positive to say about one of them, I cannot! There were meatballs which were great the next day to practice my putting on the golf course. The falafel was freshly purchased from the Cole's freezer next door and would have been better if cooked. Luckily they opened a new tin of vine leaves just for our special occasion. The rest including the mistakes in our orders will remain a secret. Oh Oh Oh! I just remembered something good: the water was OK. I hate leaving negative reviews, but some things just have to be dome. I have to say that the atmosphere is nice and if you are only there for drinks you should be fine.

The atmosphere here is more cafe than restaurant which does not justify the prices but the food is excellent and especially the deserts. The service is fast and polite. The pizza is well made and nicely presented.

Approximate cost: $25.00

This review is for The Carlton Paragon Cafe, Carlton North VIC

verified email - 30 May 2011

The food is great but a bit on the higher price range. The service was quick and very polite on a quiet Sunday night so I do not know how it would be at a busier time. The atmosphere is elegant and subtle. Had the scallop entree which was beautiful to look at and tasted even better but pricey. Will go back again.

Approximate cost: $30.00
