They have in fact supplied a number of quite different modems,
the netcomm NF7, NF12, the Haewai etc.

They do indeed and other models of that brand too.

You've got a 100/40 service for less than you were paying for
25/5, get a much better modem than that steaming turd, for $1,
get MUCH better support than anything TPG supplies etc etc etc.

yeah, but if I get the slowdowns you've talked about, which I don't get 
with TPG, I won't be happy!

Since I have a 25/5 connection not doing WiFi at the higher rate is 
irrelevant. I have the Fetch TV box running over a Wifi connection and 
HD movies from Stan stream perfectly. If I ever upgrade to a 4K or above 
TV then I may need to do something about it, but I'll cross that bridge 
when I come to it.

But why not when it is cheaper than all other suppliers.

Lets see:-

broadband service $59.99/mo unlimited data
home phone $10/mo to all aus landlines
total $69.99/mo

I am paying $69.99/mo for 250gigs of data plus all calls to aus 
landlines and 100 mins of international calls. The faster speed is not 
of any use to me at present, I have never used all 250gigs of monthly 
data, and I'd lose the free overseas calls. Its not worth the effort to 
change contracts at the moment not even to mention losing the landline 
for weeks.

If I had a couple of teenagers in the house streaming stuff all night 
then a faster connection and unlimited data might be worthwhile, but the 
wife just does e-mail and browses the web and the dog uses hardly any 
data at all.

But what speed?

Ours is $59.00 Unlimited with the fastest speed available in the area 
But phone is pay as you go (you can also pay $10.00 extra for phone if 
you want)

25/5 which, as I have said in this thread, suits my needs. Since, in 
this house, there is usually only one high bandwidth task running at a 
time, it is doubtful that we would see any difference going to 100/40.

As I have said, the extra bandwidth would be of little or no advantage 
to me, I'd have to go through the hassle of changing ISPs, I'd either 
have to change my phone number or do without a phone for a significant 
period of time and lose my 100 minutes of O/S calls per month.

Not worth the effort (at least at present).

That probably works if you are on your own. With more than one person 
living together, its much more convenient to have a landline (and 
usually cheaper too)

Dunno, most incoming calls are to a specific person and so calling their
mobile saves farting around with the person who answered the phone
not being the one the caller wanted to speak to quite a bit of the time.

> (and usually cheaper too)

Depends on whether you need the mobiles for when out of the house, most do.

In that case the landline line rent is an extra.

One of my mates finds that his kid will only answer the
landline for some reason, wont answer the mobiles. He's
just turned 3.

Yeah, some I know have cancelled their landline service and just have 
mobiles.

Main downside with that approach is that if you don’t have unlimited calls
and texts within the country, its expensive to call operations that can 
leave
you on hold for half an hour or an hour etc. Tho there are unlimited call 
and
text plans which cost less than the landline line rent now.

I also know some who have to have a landline for their adsl service
who don’t have a phone plugged into it to avoid spam calls too.

Then you need new glasses, BAD. Or more

so enlighten me then. what is it that stops the connection message 
appearing, and the loss of connection even tho the cable is connected? 
in your own words will be fine. (there may have been a solution there, 
but not one that I understood or could implement)

what was suggested in that thread.

not really. no one can do what they don't know how to do

yeah I did.. connected the modem direct to the tv and bypassed the 
switch. swapped out cables to eliminate the possibility of a faulty 
cable. it even plain to see above in this post.

You always run that line when you are told to go and fuck yourself, again.

Yes, really.

Even you should be able to read that thread and try
the various alternatives and see if it fixes the problem.

If that is all you tried, you clearly are beyond any help.

Probably typical Lucky Goldstar but...

Did you try this from Baxter?

"This is fixed by ensuring your wifi network name is no longer than 8 
characters (letters and numbers ONLY)

Eg:

BaxWiFi

And this is the killer trick, your TVs 'Name' as inputted in the 
settings menu by the factory must also be only 8 letters/numbers long 
and MUST NOT contain symbols, or spaces.

Eg:

Was called this: 55LN5710-TE

Changed to this: 55LN5710

Now its Perfect.

Bulletproof now for 3 days... tested on two modems.. Billion 7800NL and 
NetGear D6300... On both modems before changes to 8 character names.. 
constant drop outs and failures.

After name change, bulletproof and faultless. :)"
