Telstra’s continuity problem

[T1 Terry]

We have a combined phone account for Margaret's phone and mine. we use our phones to create a mobile hot spot and stream tv through that and use each phone separately for our computer internet link. We cancelled the NBN because it continually buffered but have no problems using the phone as a hot spot. We also cancelled the wireless network from the workshop back to Aussie Broadband as the phone has a faster speed than the local Aussie Broadband connection, even though there were only a handful still using it.
We have a combined 60GB per mth and never get close to using it, we still have 40GB to use in the next 11 days as an example.
So, I'd forget about the dongle and just use the phones.

Shirley, I think George was, up until recently was Boost user. He had some troubless, can't recall what though. I'm sure he will pass by here soon and refresh my memory.

Thanks Terry, that sounds interesting too, I do use my phone as a hot spot to connect the computer occasionally & Bruce needs a new phone, certainly sounds like something to consider, are you with Telstra?

David, George rang me today & we had a good long chat, his mobile is still with Boost & he is happy with the plan.

Sounds like Boost have come to the party.

We are with Optus, Telstra has very poor reception at the workshop and at the house. Our next door neighbour has to stand out the back of her house in the cold to use her mobile and relies on satellite TV and I believe satellite data for her computer since they put the NBN through Mannum. Before that she had ADSL2 on the copper cables and a good house phone, all that went south when the NBN came into town

Anyone watched the knife ad with Peter Russel Clarke? When they cut the tomatoes it is with a scalloped edged knife, but one of those does not come in the set, but it does make a second appearance going into the bonus knife block.
Seems Peter Russel Clarke doesn't rate them as high as the barrel change grater/shredder thing, the knifes only get 2 verys before the good where the drum grater thing get 3 verys

Sad when you actually have to suffer the ads that much you pick out what is wrong with eh

They've gotta be getting very desperate to drag Peter Russel Clarke out of the grave, was shocked when I saw him and don't think he has been on tv for over 30 years, but I don't watch cooking shows.

Aren't those knives s/s, which means they will never stay very sharp and are a hassle to sharpen. I found a set of skinning knives in the roof of one of my pub when I had it, had a couple of stones and steel in a lined box. It would have been in the roof for a very long time because they built my pub around the original one and there were still rooms etc in the roof. You'd have to be pretty short to use the rooms, the doors were very short and the walls were lined with packing cases from the mid 18th century. Was going to turn the roof into a museum, found lots of old papers and some posters in a wall when I pulled it down to extend the lounge. Sadly on our biggest weekend at the end of the hop season, someone dropped a still lit cigarette into a wastebasket and as the pub was timber, up it went much to my disgust as had put a heap of money and time into renovating it. Anyway, the knives were still pretty sharp, although a bit rusted, still have them and use them for cooking they are good steel.

High-carbon steel holds an edge much better than stainless steel.
Unfortunately some pointy-head researchers declared that carbon steel also held germs better, too.
So stainless steel was decreed as the only acceptable material for commercial kitchens & utensils.
We still use M-i-L’s old carbon steel carving knife...
It’s on its third handle — redgum this time. Last one (indeterminate hardwood) only lasted 30 years.
V3.0 should outlast us!
