That's most of us. I said it was going to be this bad 4 years ago, but it's actually turned out worse. When I go to nbn, my speed will actually drop. My brothers nbn fttp is awesome but even his download speed is lower than my 10yo Telstra cable connection. So much for the best jobs of the future

Apparently my mistake was asking Telstra for an Internet connection. If you do that, they send an Internet tech. If I'd asked for a simple landline, they would have sent a telephone tech. After the telephone line was in place (even though I didn't want one), the cable installation would have

Don't have a friend with line of site within 20klm of you do you? We changed our office link over to a ubiquity based microwave service a while ago - hasn't missed a beat. Both dishes/radios together were worth < $500. On Thu, 4 Jan 2018 at 09:21 Greg Low wrote: >

Unfortunately, getting Telstra to connect cable to our new place turned out to be a nightmare. They were beyond incompetent. And now, because it suddenly became an NBN area, they can't do it at all. And NBN Co have the 6 – 9 month delay for new connections. So we're stuffed. Telstra mobile

Hi guys, On holiday at the moment in Thailand, and I purchased 4GB of data on a local mobile network for the princely sum of A$6. I managed to use the entire amount in about 2 hours and I can't figure out how, because I was mostly just browsing the web. I took a look at the logs and it shows:
