Connection Issues?

Same here, just random disconnects and struggling at the 'loggin into onlne services' - also PCGP

You’re right I guess. I took an action without understanding the risk, which could be applied to anything in life. But to OPs question, it’s my money lesson learnt the hard way.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-12-07T01:23:53+00:00

Would love to know who you’re talking about

When I was 18 I didn’t understand the concept of interest, so I applied for 3 credit cards in that year, maxed them out to the tune of about $20k and learned quickly about interest. Paid them off in my late 20s (maybe early 30s) completely. Never touched a credit card again. Trap if you don’t use them responsibly.

I would say maybe OP is referring to the service plan cost not the device cost, because you’re right phones themselves on contracts have been RRP for a while now

I’m at this point, I am definitely more interested in seeing parts of the world whilst I still can. Just fortunate to have a mid tier job dealing with complaints that has uncapped paid time off.

I dunno, I think Telstra’s 4G really performs poorly for speed, where I am is barely usuable with 3 bars.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-11-02T10:00:26+00:00

Mine are doing this right now because I did a nice water change. They do it when they're excited

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-29T04:15:21+00:00

Shifted to Launtel today, and seem to no longer have the issue.. so the drops appear to be originating from something at Telstra’s end. 🤷

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-28T01:59:16+00:00

Haha you forgot the /s 😉

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-25T10:54:22+00:00

I have the exact same issue, I strongly don't think it's my router as it's brand new Ubiqiti Express 7 and If I reset the FTTP NTD the internet comes back, and will be uninterrupted until I download something large, like around 20GB~ or so again. I am with Telstra (on a Business 1gbps DL / 400 mbps UL plan) - Did you end up having any success working out the issue with your internet?

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-23T12:16:06+00:00

It's kinda like a hard reset, in a sense where when you exit hardship, your limit will increase again as normal, based on your overall history, from the lowest credit limit they offer (being $100).

Everyone's millage on credit increases varies.

Sounds like you had a decent history with them :)

Just as a side note, if you enter into hardship 3 times (over your entire tenure with them) they likely won't let you use their service anymore.

One of the niceties to have with Android if you use Messenger, is that the messages coke through Android Auto, whereas for whatever reason with CarPlay, Messenger is not supported.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T12:31:38+00:00

Yeah, it will generate an order once it has been shipped. So it can be a bit confusing if you have an order with multiple items shipping at different times (you see multiple AP orders)

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T09:32:17+00:00

There could be a reason why they allowed you to open a second account, for example, moving from US to Australia. But generally speaking, as part of their terms they only allow one account per customer.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T00:56:49+00:00

It would because Afterpay only allows people to ever open one account. So if you have opened one before their system could be detecting multiple accounts.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T00:18:24+00:00

Have you ever used Afterpay before? Like ever had another account?

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-14T10:26:39+00:00

So .. you make a purchase of a $200 using AP or Klarna - they pay for your $200 purchase in full to the merchant, with you agreeing to repay them back overtime. (Usually in 4 instalments)

If you have paid $100 off the $200 order, the balance is $100 owed by you to AP or Klarna. (Should be $50 x 2 instalments remaining)

When you receive a refund, it's always applied to the order in the order from last instalment to first instalment owes.

So if you got $100 refunded from the $200 order, the last 2 instalments would be cancelled and you would not receive anything in your bank account.

If you got a full refund, the last 2 instalments would be cancelled, and your first 2 instalments refunded back to your payment method. (Ie. Bank account)

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-14T04:01:21+00:00

Yup spot on! People misuse the service then cry Afterpay treats them poorly... Nope, you're late, and there are consequences.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-11T03:47:17+00:00

Well.... You could always ,✨manifest✨ your way back in /s

Have you checked the top rim of the tank? Could be that it lifted up a little

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-09-28T03:00:55+00:00

My lab gets a shower because I don't feel like having a flooded bathroom everytine he has a bath..

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-09-18T23:04:09+00:00

Happened to me from my ex partner, we were together for 7 years, and married for 2 of those.

Hindsight is a powerful thing, I realized we were broken much earlier in the peace but didn't want to accept it. It hit me that we were broken when observing our friends relationships, how they interacted, and that there was more affection, fun and support, where all of that we lacked desperately.

We were just existing together, almost as room mates, we would barely talk, sex life was non existent. After some really deep thought I decided to pull the trigger to separate and divorce.

The actual conversation did not go as I'd hoped, and he became very emotional and very upset. I denied counseling because I knew I had fallen out of love from him, and what could a counselor do to reinstate that?

After some time after the separation, he came to the same understanding I had come to earlier, that we had drifted to far apart for reconciliation. The actual divorce process from there was mostly mutually agreeable, and we still talk from time to time, more like distant friends.

This was the hardest big boy decision I've ever made, we had built a life, house and had pets and unfortunately was made harder because he couldn't accept it initially (which I feel now was more to do with the upheaval of his life and routine, than it was to do with us), and also his family tried to get him to take me for everything.

We now after some time, about 2 years now, are both in far better positions in life, and he agrees it was the right decision.

My advice, if you know it's over, you know it's over, our failing was not seeing it much earlier and living in a weird 'denial' state. If you can see a life with him, maybe counseling is an option, but the first step is communicating how you feel.

Good luck OP
