Lots of rain though Sarah! As usual the news report said 'good for the farmers!'

I'm only talking about the weather to avoid talking about the government... ::)

I thought that as well!

What is your internet connection, prices and stuff.

I'm now on 15GB with Telstra which is costing about $115/month. Slow, cuts out, seems expensive.

What are others on?

The weather in Melbourne today was surprisingly okay, which means it'll be dreadfully cold tomorrow, ha ha.

That does seem quite expensive. My family has a Telstra plan as well... It's a home phone bundle, ADSL2+ with 500GB. Costs roughly $90 a month.

Telstra Explorer Bundle... 500GB for $90p/m.
No way do I ever use all of that bandwidth but they keep jacking it up without increasing the cost. Probably because I have my landline and mobile with them too, I dunno.

Speed is pretty good.

Seemingly sending rain your way!

Goddess that is a lot cheaper than I'm paying.

Time to renegotiate!

Grace, Tiger,

I have mobile, home and Internet been on the same plan for years.

Mmmm being screwed I think!
  •  

Ms Grace

Yeah, I didn't even have to negotiate for it, they keep foisting it on me. Not that I'm complaining. And it's not like I make a lot of phone calls so I don't know what's up with that.

So I run to separate lines, one in the nursing home and the other my home a mobile that is trashed, a home number never used and Internet and I'm paying about $200 a month! Last time I went to Telstra, last week, they recommend I stay on the same plan!

No wonder! I'm paying for you lot!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I appreciate you for subsidising my Netflix bad habits, ha ha. :)

In all seriousness, I'd call first thing either tomorrow or Monday morning. You could definitely get a better plan for a fraction of the cost. Having two phone lines shouldn't add all those extra charges to your monthly bill...

You mean suckers!

8am lovely morning. The jasmine is in full flower (sneeze), sun shining, honey eaters trying to perch at impossible angles. Spring is here!

I watched the sun come up again this morning and it is really nice, I love Sunday mornings around our neighbourhood because it is the quietest time of the week, The Parrots will be back soon in the tress, you can see the garden getting ready to go nuts.

Have a great Sunday
