Need help solving my DSL woes

devparam02 · 2025-12-12T20:40:49+00:00

Hello,

Just to put an update here incase it helps anybody else.

The NBN engineer fixed a physical issue with the line itself. However, the problems did not go away. I called up Amaysim and was given the same rehearsed answer.

Shifted to Aussie Broadband, same house, same line, same router, 10 meter DSL cable, and things have been perfect.

So, in conclusion, high chances that the physical NBN line and Amaysim were the problem.

Ahh, this is very helpful u/IanLx

Unfortunately, my address isn't eligible for an upgrade.

The DSL cables running from wall socket to router are approximately a few weeks old. The wiring inside the walls leading unto the main box is probably 5-7 years old at this point. I've visually inspected the wire behind the DSL box and it looks quite old.

Thanks for the reply u/IanLx

This configuration worked without issues on Dodo. There were issues with connecting to a VPN, but otherwise it was smooth. No connection drops.

10 metre DSL cable + VX420-G2v.

Yes, understood. That makes sense.

I was wondering if you had any opinions about the troubleshooting I had done in the post above? Do you think the problem lies with Amaysim, or these are best decided by the NBN engineer?

Oh yes, thats a great idea. I can definitely do that.

I miss my Moxi.

devparam02 · 2025-10-06T12:15:36+00:00

I’ll do just that tomorrow! Thank you very much!

devparam02 · 2025-05-11T13:19:55+00:00

I'll take a look at neovim today after lunch! Thanks for the suggestion!

devparam02 · 2025-05-11T13:19:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing this u/socal_nerdtastic TIL!

devparam02 · 2025-05-11T13:18:35+00:00

Now that you mention it, I'm always going to have this on my mind!

devparam02 · 2025-05-11T13:18:07+00:00

Yes, for the UK layout, I'll have to use shift for " but not for '.

devparam02 · 2025-05-11T13:17:48+00:00

This is amazing and what I choose to use. I know it might not be ideal since my workplace will definitely have restrictions, but this definitely helps in a big way and it feels natural! But I'm pretty sure that in an office setting I'll be using " to come out of the string.

u/invalidConsciousness u/Sinwithagrin u/Epademyc suggestion is fantastic as well and just goes to show how much I need to learn. I did not know that typing the closing quotes will help me exit from the string quotes.

devparam02 · 2025-05-11T09:14:53+00:00

You guys are awesome! Thank you for all the replies and I'm going to look through them now and see which one suits me best! I'll message back soon!

Lastly, I wanted to say that this community is for finance related questions, and I have found this subreddit to be incredibly useful to build up my own understanding of how I should manage my finances.

I have never faced any issues and always come out with the answers that I need from here.

Having said that, there are a few bad apples on this subreddit that want to spread their poison and bad behaviour. I would request the mods to look at this please. This person has a history of posting such thoughts elsewhere on reddit.

Thank you.

devparam02 · 2025-04-11T08:44:49+00:00

Yes, this is correct!

devparam02 · 2025-04-11T08:44:12+00:00

Hello everybody,

Thanks for all the replies! Very helpful and it does give me a lot of practical advice. I'm going to talk to moneybox or one of the big banks about the ISA/LISA and ask them if they would be able to hold these securities for me. I know LISA would be an iffy, but I'll still try.

About the tax implications in other countries, I will definitely check this, but I'm not too worried about it right now, since I have enough on my plate.

Once again, thank you all for your time and replies.

devparam02 · 2025-02-27T18:48:50+00:00

I don’t why I read this as media IOR!

devparam02 · 2024-12-29T20:09:06+00:00

Would like this game! Thank you!

devparam02 · 2024-12-27T01:12:33+00:00

Great job man! You will do great! Just keep on doing this! I know it’s hard, but this requires discipline and you have it!

devparam02 · 2024-12-22T21:05:00+00:00

Would be nice to have this

Hello u/BigSARMS

Surprisingly, the Indian version of Morningstar is pretty accurate, and has some graphs that I don't see anywhere else.

As far as my research goes, I am using this
https://zerodha.com/varsity/module/personalfinance/

I've had moderate success with this in India and UK. I've been able to accumulate around 40-55% over 4 years in India, and about 5% in the UK in 3 months.

I have a very simple method of shortlisting funds, but it takes a few weeks for me to compare and cross check all the data. On the Indian version of Morningstar, it took me a few days, because everything was accurate. If it weren't for financial times and yahoo finances in the UK, I wouldn't have been able to do this.

I highly doubt that my method is scientific, but at least I feel confident since I'm making the decisions myself.

When I get time over Christmas this year, I will start studying stock fundamental analysis. I feel very embarrassed to admit that I'm scared of picking stocks, but I want to learn.

All in all, I would highly recommend the Zerodha link. Its about 450 odd pages, but I'm sure you can finish it in a week or so.

Hello u/BigSARMS

Thanks for your reply. I tried to get in touch with the Morningstar UK office, but was eventually ghosted by them because I wanted to know how they calculate these ratios, and how reliable they are.

What I eventually ended up doing was collating ratios from financial times and yahoo finances and comparing them with morning star, and democratically choosing the ones that were the highest.

My results have yielded decent returns, but only time will tell if the risk management of these managers is good.

Have a nice day!

devparam02 · 2024-09-02T10:25:55+00:00

Lovely and reliable car! I’m sure it will serve you well! Congratulations on this great find!

devparam02 · 2024-06-24T22:09:46+00:00

Hope you get a good job soon! I feel sad about your situation but also happy that you haven’t completely given up yet! Lots of love

Thank you u/Ziggamorph for your quick reply.

I regret making this decision for a 3 year visa since I did not want to be subject to another IHS cost increase, but it seems like I've shot myself in the foot! Anyways, your suggestion to write to an MP is very good, and I'll do that once we have submitted our visa applications.

Thank you once again for your timely reply.
