senorclean commented on AOC 27B2H 27 inch IPS 1080p Monitor $134 Shipped (Ships in 1-2 Months) @ Amazon AU
Hard to recommend 1920x1080 on a 27" - really needs to be 2560x1440

senorclean replied to mouth on QC 3.0 Quick 18W Wall Charger, SAA Cert 4pcs $16.99 + Post ($0 Prime) @ YESDEX Amazon AU
It's a QC3.0 charger - so can run at higher voltages (potentially up to 20V)... Typical QC delivery of 18W is 9V 2A

senorclean commented on Ozito Power X Change 18V Compact Drill and Impact Driver Kit - $79 @ Bunnings (in Store)
Nice one - my 4Ah battery is starting to fail so this is a tidy way to replace it, with a few bonuses.

YMMV but a mate has gigabit over HFC with Aussie - he gets 900+ down consistently as well. Of course, you'd need to make sure your router...

Agreed - as fun as it would be to run speedtest and see some big numbers - I'm hanging on to my grandfathered 100/40 for $90/month plan!

No worries - sounds like this would do the trick. Another alternative that is cheap and well stocked would be the Tp-link Kasa range.
