You're spot on angelviper007. About 1.5 hours ago I did a speed test and the speed was about half of what it should be (28Mbit/s). I am with iiNet on…

Anyone notice the fibre network's a tad slow in the evenings lately? I'm assuming it's the Netflix effect, but haven't been able to access my fibre connection during the day…

Thanks for the info 3cpo and aurorafrog.
I think something's wrong with my TV signal from the cabinet – whether it is the optic fibre "modem" or some other TV…

Hey everyone,
Just a quick question, is anyone getting TV signal issues? Some of the TVs in my house won't pick up a signal at all, others can't pick up a…

I'm with iinet and my connection is fine (stage 15). Have you tried turning off your modem and turning it on again?

Yes that's correct, exactly the same thing happened to me about a year or so ago. I was ready, iinet was ready, VicUrban wasn't. I was delayed three times before…

Ah ok well it could be water overflow in Mernda, not sure. All I know is that at least in the Aurora estate, the blue spray painted pipe (with orange…

Yes, this is the fibre optic channel.

How do you still get nearmap access? From what I can see, it's been completely locked down behind a pay wall now.

Hey everyone,
I just received an email from the Aurora Community Association about their car boot sale on the 18th of November. It will be hosted at the car park behind…

I believe they are going to landscape it for now. Nothing big. When I ran past there about a week ago I saw a sign advertising landscaping services on the…

I heard that there's going to be a new TV channel from Channel 9, a 3D one for the Olympics. Some of my coworkers have already been able to pick…

Me too, I was only told of overshadowing. With block sizes as small as they are, you can't really avoid overlooking.

The complaints about slow Internet mainly came from people who were on the old fibre network (people in stages 1 - 7), this network was run by a company called…

I'll try to answer your question without too much technical jargon. If you don't understand something, yell out
The answer to this question really stems from…

They rolled out lawn today and were cleaning up, so I'm guessing if it's not open already it will be open very shortly.

Yes you can port forward, at least with the BoB2. I don't have a BoB, but am connected to iiNet and have the ability to port forward.

You won't be able to do any port forwarding with an iPrimus-issued router in your cabinet, simply because you are locked out of access to the router and change any…

Great, thanks for the info.

Did anyone's rubbish get picked up this morning?

it has heaps of spots, but still not enough. Lalor has less people parking there in the morning now.

You'll get used to it, especially the delays between Jolimont and Flinders St. Bring an iPod or something to entertain yourself. A couple of times I had forgotten to bring…

You did post a link but clicking on it now comes back with a server error, ie. the link expired.

There's not much parking at Epping, you'd be really pressing your luck trying to park there on the morning. You'd be better off parking at Lalor or South Morang, if…

Hey guys,
Just a public service announcement I guess, very often in the morning when I drive out of the estate to drive to work, I see a stray dog running…

Great tip about the alternate route to Findon Rd oztish! Adding that to my list of rat runs

I just did a quick measure on Google Maps, from the Great Bromme Ave / O'Herns Rd intersection to Lalor train station is 3.5km, whereas to South Morang station it…

There are parking restrictions at Epping Plaza. If I recall correctly, 4 hour limit. There is also parking restrictions at Bunnings but I don't think it is heavily enforced.
If…

I can't answer all your questions SunnyDays, as I don't know the answers to some of them, but here goes.
I had a flick through it in my land contract but…
