Its a shame the Leafs sucked ass again this season. You could have gone to a playoff game. I lived just down the road from Toronto for 14 yrs. Doing any fishing while your there?
If you get time there are a few small lakes around Parrie sound Nth of Toronto that is/was awesome for Black bass and muskie.
Missed the fishing for now - back into US tomorrow - hunting in Texas next week
Would like to have done some Salmon fishing but have missions on else where
I just did the TelstraClear online speed check for my line: 5.49Mbps down and 0.69Mbps up. I don't know what that means but it's slow enough that I cannot download anything video as it stops and starts every 5 seconds. An no, it's not HD porn! What is the standard broadband speed??
Takes me 1/2 a bloody hr to download a 3 min Utube vid, it's so bad I don't even bother trying anymore.
paying for broadband , get shit.
The speed is usable, the problem exists (and has done so for years) with Telstras domain name servers.
Use googles DNS and works alot better.
BEST thing anyone can do is get rid of Telstra..
Noted... think we are tied in a contract with our cells land an interweb.Quote:

Telecoms ok as well nowadays as long as you dont need any help, then you ahve to wobble your head and become an idiot
I spent over 20 hrs (yes 20) trying to get our phone and internet connected. Complete and utter incompetence.
What got it sorted out once and for all, was a pissy message on Telstras facebook page - had the big Cheese in NZ on the phone within hrs - he sorted out at least getting it all disconnected etc so we can move on\
BTW, ring Telstra before 8am, and you usually get a Kiwi
I want to move away from woosh -is Telstra worth the effort ?
ANYONE but Telstra Brian!!
Orcon then I think it will be -
Hey Josh it will depend on the quality of router. The cheap standard ones can certainly slow you down on wireless compared to being plugged in on full speed but the faster ones will do a pretty good job of providing lag free gaming etc.Quote:
