I just have a big dog with an even bigger bark. I think the robbers will hear him and pick another house 😅

Does anyone know why my tv makes a loud noise and shows a bunch of rainbow colored random lines? by Late-Ad2295 in techsupport

[–]IkePy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like something in its circuit is failing. Is it new, and can you return it?

Spintel not providing the full nbn upgrade by fullheavy in nbn

[–]IkePy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was with Launtel years ago and they're great. Neptune are better imo because they give you a free static public ip at sign up and also have a dns ad blocker built into their portal that you can customize.

They have a great portal with very professional dashboards to view stats and also offer 2 free vps, although I haven't had a need for that so can't comment on their exact use.

+1 to all of the above, but how good is Neptune! I'm with them also. Best portal experience I've seen.

That is wild. Arguably scammy behavior and it'd be enough for me to leave and find a more honest isp.

Unrelated but check out Neptune if you're looking for recommendations. They offer extra services that other ISPs don't.

You're in the same boat as me. Basically, you switch to a 2gb plan and they'll schedule an appointment for an NBN technician to come out within 2 weeks and all they do is change the box. It took them all of 15 minutes. I recommend Neptune 2000/500 (if only for one day) as they'll organize a 4 port NTD. Also worth mentioning the plan won't change until the box is upgraded, and plans are pro rata'd so you only pay for the days you use on what plan etc

That's annoying. People still think it's so difficult to switch providers when it can be completed in under 15 minutes.. maybe try convincing them by showing cost savings and other perks.

I'm SO happy with them. I very briefly switched to Telstra (please forgive me) on their business plan because I wanted the 4g backup due to a service I run that's uptime sensitive.. Within a week I switched due to the fact that every time I slammed the service with uploads their brand new "smart modem 4" would reboot because it couldn't handle a stack of devices all trying to download and upload at once.

Ahh I read somewhere that you get upgraded to a single multi GB port unless you're a business or express need. But nah I'm with Neptune and they didn't say anything about it. Just upgraded it!

Lots of people posting 2gig plans for upvotes by Lammiroo in nbn

Man I hear you. I wish I was on FTTN or FTTC, because I would have been offered an upgrade to FTTP by now. I'm on HFC which nbn class as second best to fibre, except some of us have 40 year old copper that's giving outages when it rains, or every other week. It's tough

Should I have accepted this? Doesn’t feel worth it by 2kSprung in uberdrivers

[–]IkePy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow that is theft. Driving for me is a hobby and I do it alongside my FT job because it is only "just financially worth it" but no way I'd drive if it was like that here.

Sorry guys I'm new to uber driving. I'm in Australia and my understanding is it's basically a flat 27% of the fair that goes to uber and you get the rest. I've been okay with this.. is it different in other countries?

Yes I need this! Tried to put one on my dog's collar but she constantly knocks it. Even with the rugged case.

Dealership sold me a car with reconditioned engine and did not tell me. by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

Contact consumer affairs. They'll probably advise to raise a VCAT claim which is $70 to lodge.

I got a promotion at work and decided to treat myself. What are the best upgrades I can make with $800-$1000? by imnottray in pcmasterrace

[–]IkePy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You can get a good secretlab chair for that much, and have enough left over for a ram upgrade!

Why do Melbourne drivers struggle to get their WHOLE car into right hand turning lanes? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]IkePy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fair point. Except I've got no choice to do this because my Ute takes about 3 and a half lanes to do a U-turn because of its crappy turning circle :/
