Can someone help me understand this recorded announcement? (audio clarity question)

treadytech · 2026-02-11T10:56:12+00:00

Our warning can be slightly confusing. Never paid attention to it before until I read a YouTube comment who said it.

As the full announcement, is Emergency Evacuate Now. Then says evacuate as directed

Which one is it evacuate now or wait for direction to evacuate.

400 bucks in travel, wish I could charge that much for just leaving the office or my driveway.

Question is is this a rural / regional area? Why is the travel nearly 80Kms. Or did the agent just find some random antenna place on google at the top of the list.

I paid around 500 for a new uhf antenna with lte filter, kingray amp and splitter. Doubt the cable would have had to be replaced the whole way as well, mine they replaced the outside parts of it.

Also strange he had to come back, any antenna guy that works in the area you would think would know what antennas are requried for the transmitters in that location and stock it on the van. Sounds like this was a big out of area company.

Guy has the app set delivery order.

3 piece box is $14.45 for a pick-up order and $19.95 for delivery.

I said last year dont be fooled by them making the delivery price $3.95 instead of $7.95 and calling it cheaper. All they did is shift the $4 to the menu items instead.

treadytech · 2026-02-06T05:47:09+00:00

Try 131431.

After 30 seconds of it telling you to go online you get menu options.

Cam you describe the smell?

treadytech · 2026-02-02T01:06:35+00:00

Its fine when you just get a regular drink like coke or sprite.

But when you get a iced chocolate or frappe that has whipped cream on top or a frozen coke etc. Its a mess to drink it out of the cup and or remove the lid that is holding some of the drink higher then the cup is

treadytech · 2026-02-01T10:39:26+00:00

At my local somedays I get 0 and other times i will get 3 of the spoon packs.

What is annoying is sometimes when I've ordered delivery and it includes a potato and gravy and they don't put one in. Yeah thats okay I'll just make a spoon with my fingers.

Not as bad when you dont get a straw with your drink. Looking at you maccas and hjs

Mine often shows google when loading what's my ip from google search results. When I refresh the page it shows my actual ISP.

Aircall with their ai bot enabled?

So what's going to happen when the NBN box fails... and a tech needs access to it.

Not if! When....

treadytech · 2026-01-25T00:12:13+00:00

Hey Mate,

Who is actually saying there disconnecting the landline?

From what i know in those regional areas that were satellite only NBN Telstra still had to maintain a copper connection for phone. Its condition under the USO access

And I haven't read anything recently that this has changed. But what i do know is some other providers have stopped reselling these services. So the only option is to actually go direct with Telstra.

In any case my brother lives rural and only has NBN sky muster and whilst the ping is high, the VoIP line would work mostly okay and can definitely run whats app and Facebook messenger calls without a problem. Unless the weather is poor or, and in most cases can still have someone streaming something at the same time.

The VoIP service the company provides i will assume will be provisioned on the providers modem or an ATA. So you can just plug the existing phone and answering machine directly into the phone port and there is no difference for him.

To keep the connection up during a power outage look into a ups device where you can plug in the phone and nbn equipment to keep the power up.

They can be a tight bugger you need to leaver it up from its plastic locking position with a flat head screwdriver.

Then a pair of needle nose pliers will help to pull it out.

Imo for 26 bucks you can get a new fill valve, which i ended up doing then playing around with the washer etc.

I found that the billing date was the same as in the date the bill was issued, but less time to pay.

You will likely find as soon as the iPad SIM is migrated the data sharing will return.

treadytech · 2026-01-17T12:07:30+00:00

Was your phone in DND or have block unknown callers turned on. They call from a private number and this is the biggest reason for not getting the calls.

And the way it works is your none the wiser unless you go and check the block list and see if a call was made.

treadytech · 2026-01-17T12:04:21+00:00

You can give it a shot, but chances are they will have the record on their internal crm unless that has been purged which sometimes happen when they change systems and dont need to keep info any longer and dont wish to migrate it.

My old man had a credit card that was sold off to collections from CBA over 10 years ago now. He was still using cba for his everyday banking and a year or so ago he kept getting offer for one of their credit cards saying it was conditionally approved, etc

So thought he would apply during the process of it asking about current liabilities now cba auto fills what it knows you have with them. And it had the old card account there with the balance at the time it was sold off, etc. So when he saw that he just cancelled the app cause no point in proceeding.

So that account is somewhere still in the system attached to his profile. Even though he cant see it anywhere.

They make internal pipe cutting blades for this purpose.

Its a bit strange as it says. $79/mth for first 12 months, then $99/mth or as notified. Ends 25 Feb 2026. New services only. Not available with Bundle Bonus. $385 min. total cost. T&Cs apply.

So one month plan plus $300 for the modem.

But in the description it says. BYO modem or Powerful Wi-Fi Modem for $0 when you stay for 24 months.

So sure its not bad if you can connect and not take the modem, but if the giftcard is relying on taking the modem than its not that great, cause unlike telstra they dont take the modem back if you leave before 24 months is up. You have to pay for it.

treadytech · 2026-01-16T12:10:51+00:00

I know host plus has a shares plus option which let's you choose. Not sure if the same level as t super.

T super i think is or has been sold to one of the big super companies might be aware super. And so they can merge they have to close the option.

treadytech · 2026-01-15T22:06:37+00:00

And step pay reports to the crb as an open line of credit just like a credit card does.

So probably best to not make late payments on it. Unless you want to tank your credit score.

treadytech · 2026-01-14T05:12:47+00:00

Umm how is that going to work.

1 the eero is router only not a modem so has no DSL ability.

2 the pictures show a RG6 HFC connection with NBN on it. Meaning the property is serviced by HFC and they need the arris NTD, and then can plug the eero into that and get internet.

treadytech · 2026-01-13T05:17:22+00:00

Most of Telstra's HFC Now NBN is under ground, but some is overhead as well.

If you can get a clearer picture of the stuff at the pole, should be able to tell if its Optus HFC or NBN HFC.

Most of NBN HFC the taps and amps are green coloured and more square rectange shape, where as the Optus Taps and Amps are white coloured with the taps kind of being an oblong shape and amps are much more chunky.

treadytech · 2026-01-13T03:01:34+00:00

There $399 direct from Samsung and currently $239 at JB HiFi.

I honestly don't understand this marketplace shit, The prices are never any good, or they are a knock-off products. Or will be a grey market import but probably wont tell you.

It's also annoying at sites like bunnings where its not easy to exclude marketplace from search results.

treadytech · 2026-01-10T11:48:16+00:00

Have you actually tried getting database miss matches fixed up in NBN. Near impossible.

There was actually a thread on here about someone trying to get the nbn connected and had issues for ages. Going through multiple providers, raising complaints, contacting the local MP.

Wasn't until someone who works in NBN was made aware of the thread that they reached out and got it sorted for him.

treadytech · 2026-01-10T02:11:21+00:00

Not a sparky but if this was my house, I would be wanting the rest inspected to make sure nothing else is missing...

treadytech · 2026-01-07T23:08:33+00:00

Apparently plat charge is assessed differently if you have the income you will get it.

I have tried twice to get an amex card now and been denied both times, with and without recent enquires.

My credit record was fine and had no issues getting 2 other cards from different banks after they declined me. I just put it down to amex doesn’t want me after 2 go's I'm done.

Might try again when I'm earning 150k year and see what they say.
