Re: Telstra confirms Fetch TV investment in battle for living room dominance
Whilst it could mean higher prices (not lower as we are talking about Telstra) it might also be about delivery and their connection with Foxtel. As Rain said, watch that space.

Re: Windows 11 My Personal Review on it
My experience with Windows 11 was mixed. Getting onto my PC was the first hurdle. Its windows 10 pro encrypted which caused the system to go dark and non responsive during install.

Speeds are also less stable. I did testing last night and I would say on a 45/6 connection (FTTN long copper link) I w...

I took them up on this offer. Went with the 25/5 speed as I can't get more then about 45 due to being on Fiber To The Node. The price was 49.95 which is a good price for a few months. Is a busy time of year, bill wise, for me so I thought I would move on over. I'll make these comments about the chur...

Half time and the Panthers need to regroup. Storm leading 22 : Nill. To be fair I think that some of Brisbane's scores have needed a bit of luck... but when its all over, none of that counts.
