So iiNet has once again come to the party and upgraded their ADSL2+ quotas. This time from 60/60 to 70/70 (70gb peak, and 70gb offpeak). Shaping for Home5 plans and above has also been lifted from 128k to 256k. 140gb of quota per month is a ridiculous amount. EvilHouse doesn’t use anywhere close to this [...]

It’s amazing how we take water coming from our taps for granted. This morning I left the house, and there was a water crew digging up a neighbour’s front yard. Water running down both sides of the street, and even bubbling up out of the Telstra pit out the front of my house, flowing in [...]

Wow, two broadband updates in one day. LOLO is back up, and Telstra have processed the line changes, so the line now shows as theirs, and not on iPrimus ULL. Brilliant. The service at the old place is less than six months old, so an ETF (Early Termination Fee) will apply if I relocate it. [...]
I woke this morning to find the message “LOLO is down”. While this may not mean much to most people, to me it means that Telstra’s database, which holds all phone records is unavailable. Without this database, we cannot establish if the records for my phone line have been updated as yet, and as a [...]
If there is one place where you can count on Telstra more than any other, it’s when you want to move to them from another provider. True to their word, the phone service was changed over today, hours before they said it would be. Sure, I’m using them so that I can keep the number [...]
It’s been around two and a half weeks since I’ve heard from Telstra about the phone-line take-back from iPrimus, so I thought I’d give them a call today. A friendly guy named Jason took the call, and was very pleasant in answering my questions. The answer that I’ve been waiting for is that the line [...]
Ok, so after some advice (in response to my previous blog post) from Dean, one of the guys I used to work with at iiNet, I am now on the phone to Telstra Reachout, to get mum’s phone number back from iPrimus. iPrimus have “up to 16 days” to hand the number back, and the [...]
Mum’s internet and phone were both with iPrimus, on one of their ULL services. iPrimus wouldn’t talk to me, even though I had /all/ of mum’s details, so using her password, I logged in to the online toolbox, added myself as an authority on the account, and then phoned back and cancelled the ADSL service. [...]
Everything that I have had to do since mum’s death has been horribly difficult. From getting up of a morning, to eating, to making arrangements for bills or services. Everything except the electricity. I phoned Origin Energy, and told them that mum had passed away, at which point they became very cooperative. Electricity for the [...]
