This worst ever Australian government, this shambles in every day speak, just sets us back in every way on every day!

I am going to buy a 2 panel solar system/car battery turned power pack/30L car fridge to keep food good, shade cloth along the north-facing back verandah to keep the house a bit cool.
Can”t wait to get to Tassie: heat wave, all of 32°C!

Look for a licensed cabler (aerial installers are usually licensed cablers.
Get him to come and rip out all your existing phone lines, phone points etc.
Then get him to run new, quality cable (cat 5 IIRC but check on that) from where the landline comes in to your residence to where you want the modem to go.
Too tight to do the above? Rip out all phone points bar the one you want to plug the modem into.
Clean new cable, one phone point do make a difference between miserable to acceptable copper internet.

We are already NBN ready here...and I reckon I have nine months of the 18 left. Davo...Whirlpool is for people who know technical stuff. That surely ain't me. Thanks for the help.
Cheers.
