It’s my one weekend off (no Saturday sport or Rehearsals) so I took the opportunity to head up to Bright. To my surprise, the weather up here is actually cooler than Melbourne by about six degrees or so. It’s usually hotter this time of year but I’m not complaining! Bright is such a great town all year round.
Now I don’t usually blog while I’m up here, and that’s because dial up is a pain and makes everything ten times harder. So why am I blogging this time? Well it’s because I have Telstra Wireless Broadband. The whole wireless broadband thing sorta frustrates me. The speed is surprisingly good, but the cost really outweighs the benefits. Now I know there are the economists out there who’ll say that Telstra are simply paying off their investment in the whole NextG Network, but c’mon $109 for 1GB/month. That’s a little extreme.
It’s so typical of Telstra to overprice their services that it makes me wonder what would happen if they ever lowered them to a reasonable level. People might actually start to buy them! But who am I kidding, nothing is going to change. At least for the meantime, I can enjoy broadband speeds wherever I am!
