Well what a busy week it's been. Funerals, Police applications, my smoothwall box being a royal pain in the... here's the news!
Probably the biggest IT news in the country at the moment would have to be Optus' decision to follow Telstra's lead and hard cap their broadband services. "550MB - $54.95, 3GB - $69.95, 5GB - $134.95, 10GB - $265.95". So sad to see everyone moving this way when other countries are talking about fiber to the home and we are in essence moving backwards...The one good thing about their new move is "Optus, however, will not cut off OptusNet cable customers or impose hefty fines if they exceed their download limit. Instead, it will reduce the customers' Internet connection speed."
