Tertiary education was never free.

Anything provided 'free' to the populace by our profligate-with-other-people's-money politicians is paid for by taxpayers.

And if I recall...

Still about, infrequently

No. The bleaters should get a life. If you're not American, you didn't have a say, so what's the point in going on and on. Make your point, move on. Two months is way too long to still be repeatedly...

It doesn't matter whether it's a democracy or a federal republic or whatever you like to call it.

It's the system they have - right or wrong - and if one side doesn't like the result it brings,...

You're obviously following the thread on Geekzone too! :D

I don't expect to get 1000/500 100% of the time, but I do expect to get a significant percentage of the rate their advertising claims.

To me, getting 820/460 on one speed test and then ten...

I might have to give them a call - I'm not getting consistent results.

Sometimes I'm down to 300 down (locally), which is still good, but not what I'm paying for....

This is the Telstra...

The Netflix service at fast.com is reporting around 700 Mbps down - which is plenty for streaming from their servers, but understandably a little different from Spark's servers

I try to work on the basis of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", having had some bad experiences with various items over the years..

$139 a month - time to review my mobile plan - think I'm paying too much there and can trim it a bit....

The bog standard Huawei 659 that Spark provide (I have a TP-Link in the lounge for the WiFi for the house).

I just upgraded from "Naked Unlimited" to "Fibre MAX" - technically, it's supposed to be...

What do you call 8 hobbits?
A hobbyte

There's a band called 1023MB. They haven't had any gigs yet.

I named my hard drive “dat ass.” so once a month my computer asks if I want to “back dat...

So you follow a certain blog too? :D

(and although I did do a tour that covered some of Prague's below-ground places of interest, I actually meant "wandering around Europe", rather than under. I...

Thanks guys - a little distracted at the moment, wandering under Europe. The Intertubes isn't really a priority at the moment....

Bizarrely, it seems to have sorted itself. I got my daughter to try to connect her 5X at the same time as me, and out popped up. All good!!!

Yep. Restarting problem devices is my go-to tool in the first instance...

Yes, I was also thinking factory reset. But as I am about to leave for Europe for three weeks, I might just let it slide for now.

Maybe Nougat will sort it all out....

And was working perfectly a couple of days ago. No Android updates in that timeframe...

No - hasn't been dropped.

It can connect to the soundbar for the TV and my Halo Fusion headset - but doesn't 'see' anything else. It's bizarre.

I also have a Moto G (2nd gen) that sees all four...

Running 6.0.1.

A couple of days ago it 'forgot' my car bluetooth, my clock radio bluetooth and a couple of other bluetooth devices. It won't even 'see' my car now, even if I try to force connect....

I am sorry for your loss PJ. My sincere condolences...

Good suggestion - that was one of the checks I did also...

Tried all that - unplugged HDMI connections and totally restarted (at the wall) the TV. Including an overnight switch off (at the wall)...

Temperamental technology!!!

I WILL get to the bottom...

Managed to get around the issue (and now I know how to fix it the next time it happens).

On the back/side of the TV are some buttons (Channel up/down, Volume up/down and INPUT) - I used these to...
