su27km on NetGear D6300 Fastest Modem Router $199 + $50 Voucher*, HP OfficeJet 6600 $109 + $50 Voucher*TPG apparently does ADSL2 a bit differently to other ISPs, not all modems can handle the way TPG does things. I have a TP-link TD8840T, and...
Russ commented on Microsoft Office Home & Student 1 PC + Trend Internet Security (Valued $79) $129 Delivered @ DSE

chid on Skype Video Messaging Now Available to All Users - FREE Unlimited Use from Today (Save $5/mo)Well, Skype is currently owned by Microsoft, so perhaps "available until withdrawn" is more correct. Remember Microsoft's "PlaysForSure"...

Sydster on Lezyne Mega Drive 1000 Lumen Bike Light (USB Chargable!) $156.13 ($146.77 with Discount Code)Expect that helmet-mounted lamps will soon become illegal. In a car, it's illegal to have the lights higher than your eyes, and now that...
Never depend on your new telco/ISP to cancel your old plan, always do it yourself. AFAIK, TPG cancellations must be done by you personally,...
I know that GE Money handle both cards, but that doesn't mean the policies for the Coles card are set by GE money. It looks like Coles set...
Well I am voting with my feet - I spoke to a rep for a competing credit card on the weekend, and I'll be closing the coles card as soon as...
Then calling it a "Total" is misleading, because they aren't totalling (adding together) anything to get their "total". It should be...
I recommend avoiding Coles credit cards, they have become increasingly shifty with their documentation. Biggest example: about six months...
Russ commented on UNIDEN DECT3035+1 Cordless Phone Twin Pack with Answering Machine $26.23 + $9.95 Delivery
I have the DECT2035+1, almost exactly the same. After ~2 years the battery died in one of the handsets. Rather than buy a "genuine...
Russ commented on Arnott's Tim Tam Treats 90/103g 99c*, Pringles Chips 150g $1.99 @ Supa IGA Point Cook Vic
I'm avoiding the Tim Tams on principle. Compared to the ~200g packets of biscuits which were $2.89 regular price, Arnotts are trying to...
Probably for "Twilight" and any other books with vampires or unicorns. Or vampire unicorns?

jv on Move Your Phone Number to MyNetFone VoIP for Free (Usually $30), and Get $20 Bonus Credit!Your post could be a bit clearer. Are you saying that having ADSL (and/or ADSL2?) prevents you from changing your phone provider?
Russ commented on Free Coffee at Coffee Club. Various locations: Brisbane Airport & CBD | Townsville | Doncaster | Gungahalin
White printing on black background? Seems like it will cost you more in toner/ink than the coffee is worth. Unless you go to OW and print...
I have been considering using a single panel of pool fencing from Bunnings, as it is made of aluminium alloy and then powder coated -...
Be sure you check what you are buying. I think these are the same ones I almost bought recently, until I discovered they had a use-by date...
Not worth any more than a non-stainless one, as all the joints are plastic which will go brittle and crack with age. Anyone seen any that...
I disagree, I found Kodak to be better than Fuji. I was printing computer-generated images with a pure white background. On the fuji...
In roof? If it's under a tin roof, you'd be lucky to get anything. If it's under a tile roof, the problem is probably caused by the tiles...

Russ on HDMI Cable V1.4, Ethernet Gold 1m @ $1.89 2m @ $2.85 3m @ $5.35 FREE Shipping Australia WideThanks, I just bought a couple. The "update" step wasn't obvious, because the button says "update quantity".

So true. Gold plating really only makes a difference in corrosive environments, or very hot (100 degrees plus) environments. Connectors for...

mskeggs on Wagan 12 V 500A Jump Starter with Air Compressor for $96 Including Delivery @ JB (RP $149)How not a bargain? 17Ah is better than the 14Ah for the above deal.
