Understandable




It still feels wrong being in a regional area with no lockdown. All we need is one loving idiot going for a wander while Melbourne burns to set everything off again.

The town my dad lives in is a small enough that he told me recently when someone nobody recognises shows up in town they get reported by the police to figure out if they're from Sydney. Nothing heavy handed, just a quick check in, but they really don't want outsiders around right now.

Apparently the local rental market has been gobbled up by people looking for a sea change at the start of 2020 too, so I get the impression the town is feeling somewhat burdened in general by COVID in unexpected way. This is all right after the fires which burned down like half the area as well.

Aussie log the dropouts/can see them. They ask you wait 24 hours while they collect the data over that period and if it's happening more than whatever nbn guarantees then they log a fault and get someone out.

Anyway, assuming you're not in a contract you can change RSPs as much as you like, almost all offer month to month service. Worth a shot.

Yeah, my drops aren't detected by the RSP so they can't provide data to NBNCo to back up my claims. However, I'm not locked into this mob so can change whenever I like.

Splode posted:

The RSP has to be looking for the dropouts to see them, and most just don't record that information. Meanwhile, Aussie broadband can actually see when your router drops (I know this because they actually saw me restarting my router on their end when I was doing some troubleshooting with them), so they're much better able to produce those reports.

I'm really looking forward to moving and being able to go back to Aussie. My current internet is some horrible private fibre network that they can't serve.

My internal network is fine, and when the connection drops I look over the the NBN box and all the lights go out except the top one for power, and then they slowly come back on over the course of a minute or so (presumably a transient failure and it just takes this long to handshake again). My current RSP (Tangerine) claim they don't see any issues which led me to believe the drops are between the node and my house and the RSP sees that the connection stays good to the node and nothing beyond that. Maybe it's worth while switching to another provider to see if they are better at looking for this sort of thing?

Thanks everyone for the comments and ideas.

Thats exactly what we're suggesting, Tangerine might not be able to see them, possibly another RSP can with better systems. Personally I recommend ABB to anyone who asks but they are a premium provider and therefore a touch more expensive.

Got a few hundred back issues of MAD going back to the late '70s, my scanner all set up, and a heap of time. Figured the thread might appreciate a sort of Let's Read Australian MAD, but then again some of these issues are from the mid-80s (and the later ones just have the same content anyway) so who knows what's still relevant in these uncertain times.



Stickers still intact inside this bad boy, might see if I can get them out for a hi-res scan if anyone wants to repro the originals


You don't happen to have a copy of the (I think) Mad Oz 1996 Summer cover by any chance? It's the greyscale one with mango orange highlights with Alfred E Neuman in boardies.

Embrace your inner 20something and cut your own bangs in a mirror on impulse one night. It's the lockdown way, if my social media is anything to go by!
