    Your 2017 flying year in review

    tripit says I racked up a tad over 153,000KM in flights. Got to try ANA and Emirates F for the first time. Think I drank enough Hibiki 21 and Hennessy Paradis to decide I need further taste testing before I can choose a clear winner :D. Got to love the self serve bar at the front of the EK F...

    Got business's check if that's fiber from Vocus / TPG INTO YOUR building. They can offer pretty good deals since they don't have the high cost of CVC to provide the service

    I view Velocity as another way to get krisflyer miles. Without that functionality I'd give up on the program and stick with QF and Amex to earn miles. The issue with Velocity is the paucity of their own international network, so there's very few award seats available each day, and I suspect...

    A guy at work has been trying to get connected to HFC for 4 months now. His ADSl is around 3Mbs. He's being tortured seeing his neighbours get decent speeds while NBN try to work out how to do their job. Don't hear turnbull bragging about how HFC will be a quick way to upgrade a large number...

    considering how tricky it is for the mobile networks to keep decent data speeds while servicing less than 3% of all downloads in Australia, I don't see how it's economically feasible to increase this as dramatically as you believe it will. 8153.0 - Internet Activity, Australia, June 2017 The...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    When I flew NYC with SQ I did the SYD - SIN in refurbed 777 - was all alone in the 4 seat F cabin. In some ways i like the sense of space a bit more and the seats felt wider, though I'm not sure if that's reality or just not feeling so "enclosed" Not sure what the FA to PAX ratio is on A380...
