herded my parents and brother onto SQ212 this morning. Was reminded of all the "simple" things you just know as a frequent flyer that you need to explain to someone on their first international flight. They'll be spoilt flying SQ J on the way to the UK. Since they all don't drink I'll happily...

one of the advantages of working for a telco is the fast WiFi at work. Just downloaded the creators update for Win 10. Most of the time the download was humming along at 120mbs, sometimes peaking at 250mbs. Instead of taking the best part of an hour on my clunky home ADSL the download took...

in some ways the reality of the situation needs to be conveyed to consumers. The attitude of I'm paying for 12/1 I should get 12/1 all the time is not realistic. Lets look at the cost structure for that with NBN. The AVC will cost $24 a month 12Mbs of CVC will cost $189 a month Throw in up...

mortgage debt mountain. just compare where we are to the recession we had to have. consider the banks were able to gear at roughly 80 times due to internal models (A-IRB) and reducing mortgage risk weights down to mid-teen levels. Factor in genworth currently has $1 of capital for every...

for some reason we've decided to become indebted for housing - first 2 graphs are a % of GDP which has ballooned out total household debt to mind boggling proportions all while income growth is racing towards 0 and probably turning negative with the rotation of 150K truck drivers from the...

Though I'd share my experience over the last month with my new Samsung Win 10 Tab Pro S. I'd say it's competing with the MS surface mostly, but also the ipad. The main benefit of the Samsung is they include the keyboard, so there's nothing else to add really. The only thing I've bought...

macro prudential + removing land supply restrictions + removing tax distortions favouring speculation are required. a move to a broadly based land tax would help to increase the use of zoned land being banked by various companies. from january (iirc) http://www.demographia.com/dhi.pdf with a...

sums up the issues we're facing

If not for the compression in yield differential between Australian and US Govt bonds, the AUD would have gone up like a rocket. The ten years are just 27bps, the lowest point since mid-2000, when the Aussie as at 48 cents! In 2011, Australia lost 25mt of production owing to Cyclone Yasi. That...

Dealing with NBN is like drowning in sewage. We had an issue for a customer as one of the first activatd on HFC. NBN flat out refused to accept there was an issue with their network. It took about 8 weeks to get the customer finally up and running, 5 to 6 of which was an (un)merrygoround of...

me thinks the feds will step in and educate the marketer that strayan property prices ONLY go UP. This kind of flyer is near treasonous. …”It’s not a liquidation sale,” Mr Jones told the Financial Review. “That is not the situation. We’ve got between 40 to 45 units to sell. We want to start...

Bit like whats happeneing with SYD and MEL prices when compared to China. Someone in Shanghai can buy a similar apartment at a 25% discount in SYD, even more in MEL, along with a minimum double in yield. China is still a relatively poor country, but created another 130K of Millionaires last...

Sadly I'm seeing more customer at the 1.5KM mark than I expected. Way too many customers not able to get 25Mbs, with the only hope is when the coexistence period is up they might get a bit more speed.

You can tell all the regulators are starting to cover their assess as they're now willing to admit there's a bubble.

I called the Aussie number 02-9101-1948 Think at the time I called (around midnight) it was directed to the USA The staff were extremely easy to deal with. Great that I only had to explain the issue once and it was sorted out quickly.

The majority of FTTN connections I've seen at work are well below syncing at 100/40 Good cooper will give top speeds up to 500M. After that speeds drop pretty fast. this is the speeds NBN deems as OK for various copper lengths It's disappointing that the Govt has allowed NBN to use 1.5KM+...

Would like to come. Hopefully after some root canal I'll be up for it, then off to work for an 11pm overnighter. Will def help to keep my imbibing to a minimum :D

Linda Sarsour as well.

I seemed to be under the impression the NBN was going to guarantee a minimum 25Mbs connection to every Australian. This is no longer true. have a friend on FTTN who has a cable run over 1.5KM that is paying for a 25/5 plan but getting around 16000/840 A fault was raised with NBN but returned...
