Yeah, as I said, if the analogue system goes off then we make that move, but until then she'll be fine with the 8 to 10Mbps she's getting on ADSL rather than the 12 she'll get on the NBNMuppet wrote:Pab, after months of dealing with the ISP and NBN my mate's son finally just got on the ombudsman who gave NBN an ultimatum date and wham bam, 1 week later, all up and working.

Re: Which muppet you voting for?
A couple of areas have hit the 18 month coexistence period and nothing has been turned off. There is too much of a legal minefield in doing so. And Telstra can't guarantee if they turn off the old system, that they can throw the switch and turn it back on if the need arises.pab wrote:if the analogue system goes off then we make that move

Yeah, plus I reckon if they're this disorganised in turning the new system on they'll be just as bad at turning the old system off.r8response wrote:A couple of areas have hit the 18 month coexistence period and nothing has been turned off.

Turning off the old system is quite easy.

You'd think so, but they haven't done it yet, hopefully because of my Mum and others like her.r8response wrote:pab wrote:Yeah, plus I reckon if they're this disorganised in turning the new system on they'll be just as bad at turning the old system off.

Anyway, apparently the work the NBN guys needed to do is now done, and she'll have a connection sometime in the last week of July.
We'll see

A bit more on the greenhouse gases report, a deeper analysis

Our PM is a complete dufus.
I am starting to understand that his messing up the NBN may not have been intentional; It's just that Malcolm is a bit slow. A simpleton. Not much different from his predecessor.

Look at his definition of a backdoor. This guy has never been in IT, not even near it.

This just shows that anyone who is not a subject matter expert on any subject should never speak on that subject off the cuff. But, the problem is, the media doesn't let politicians get away with a response of "I don't know... but let me get you an expert on that", so they feel compelled to concoct an answer.

It makes me wonder what their advisors are telling them. They can't be experts, even in their portfolio, but they should be getting solid advice.

Re: Which muppet you voting for?
See, Montey, even you have an idea. I mean a "backdoor" isn't really an obscure expression.
Other definitions can be a bit messier, even those of us in IT often disagree what exactly is considered a "bug". Besides the fact that the meaning changes over time, it seems.
But saying that the laws of Australia trump the laws of mathematics is a bit rich. It's a borderline Abbot thinking. Altho it may have come out like that unintentionally.

Re: Which muppet you voting for?
This has all been on the cards for quite some time and if it's not the pollies themselves it's some other 'interested' parties that want to be able to snoop on all of our communications, consequences be damned. Notice after one of the recent terror attacks in the UK, the first press conference from Theresa May was about holding IT giants to account, terrorism is just the scape goat to bulldoze all this stuff through but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm telling you guys stuff you already know.

Re: Which muppet you voting for?
Well, they - rightfully - feel that they can't get the 'usual' amount of information, I believe.
From an age when all mails were paper - thus fairly easily readable - and all phone calls were going through providers who let them snoop in, now they need to catch all this information sift through it to find what they want...Although paper mail & conversations can be encrypted, too.
No wonder they don't know what to do.
