Internet Issues
Our internet connection has had issues lately. We have cable broadband, so it is usually quick-as-lightning. Lately, though, it has been swinging randomly from quick-as-lightning to slow-as-pitch-dripping. This has made using the internet difficult. And we have a voiceover ip for our phone, so call quality has been sooooo poor that to have a conversation, one is basically guessing every third word the other person is saying. At least every third word.

So we complained. Telstra asked us to do some tests - which took so long that after 18 minutes the Telstra guy suggested Mr Ata call back with the results - and, miraculously, the speed has improved. Telstra claim they did nothing. But yet it is better.

Mr Ata says I should not name our service provider, in case they track me down & ensure that I will have poor internet connectivity for the rest of my life.

And why has my sidebar vanished down to the bottom of the page? I did nothing!

    I suggest you go and edit your blog entry entitled:
    "Grrrrrumblemumblehumanresourcesgrrr"
    Turn that title into a couple of shorter words.
    But what would i know know about it? I'm just a crazy old lady born before these new-fangled computers appeared.

    I am sure your internet provider knows what happened to your missing bar...

    The lure of the Dark Side is strong, but resist we must ;)
