Yeah I can vouch for NextG wireless, i use one for work... Shitloads better than all of the others, in coverage and speed (I've tested 3, vodaphone and unwired). The only downside is cost, it's pretty expensive!! Like $89 for 1GB per month on a 24 month contract... ouch!

Well if its telstra we all know we arnt going to get a good deal.. prob be $1000 for the dongle, $90 a month for 2g and $100 a mb after that.

At least they have good returns for there stock holders, oh wait there stocks suck.

Thanks doof :D for everyone else www.iinet

you're right, it's not really cheap... but it is really good...

The dongle (hehe) can come free on a $80 plan (i think) below that you have to buy it... the series 7 (old) can be flashed with the new software to make it the same speed as the series 8's... So unless you wanna spend a huge amount, there's no point buying a damn expensive dongle...

hehe :laugh:

And that makes my day complete. LoL

All i seen was 'no home phone line'. If it helps,,,my home internet is T'd from the foxtel cable.

Telstra internet with wireless router

Telstra also does a wireless modem aswell.but the modem has to be T'd into the foxtel cable then

its wireless from modem to desktops/laptops.

The cheapest and easiest way will be to just get your phone line hooked up ($30/mth) and get a cheap 512k ADSL1 plan with someone like aaNet for $25/mth so all up about $55/mth which is only about $15/mth more than using unpredictable wireless.

No go with foxtel?

Also, Tivo is coming out soon,supposedly you can use it with your tv to access

the internet.

Your Tivo also needs an internet connection, so it's just passing the internet through to the TV from your ADSL/other connection :)

fatz, did you ever get porn working at home? I just moved into a new place and getting the hook up. going with iinet in the end, and I noticed they have naked dsl now which means you not need phone line. they will give you the porn even without the phone. but I'm not sure how you will ring hot gossip without it? I gues you can use mobile.

now I have an actual question. where in sydney is cheap computer hardware retailers? I need to buy a new ADSL2 modem (with wireless router) and some other gear. leaning towards the billion 7300N. any suggestions gratefully received.

I wouldn't touch Billion mate, then again I wouldn't touch D-Link either, but that is just me.

Go for a Linksys.

well I've always been very keen on netgear.

a while ago when ADSL first hit the scene I had a billion ADSL mode/router and it was good. worked as it was supposed to. after about 4 years the power button broke, but I just taped it up and after that it was sweet until I upgraded.

then I tried a linksys, just wouldn't work with my config. tried a belkin, same problem and it was crap. then bought a netgear. easiest modem/router I have ever set-up. allowed my (then) out of the norm configuration and literally took maybe 2 mins to set-up.

I was very happy with it.

but I'm willing to look at linksys again. Can you suggest a comparable model that does the same stuff as that billion 7300N? cheersu. (^_^)

d-link works fine for me - setup around 3-4 wireless networks without a problem all been running for over 2yrs

Same here, I have a DSL504T & a dl524 running here, no probs.

To the OP, have you tried using satellite net connection? It cost A LOT though for speed thats not much better than ADSL.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
