Internet drop-outs

One day I hope to learn /remember the different routes to "reply' and "follow up". Thanks PG, we are considering the change, and Crazy Dog's link to 'local live'
merely reinforced the persuasion.
Willem, ours was Rayburn No. 3. 'Afraid I've stooped to simulating pollies these days - my earlier post contained a 'non-core-truth'.

I am also with internode. They are excellent. I sell Bigpond product and still don't have it

Howdy guys, we have ADSL with telstra and get lots of dropouts. is internode that much better ?.we were on cable with telstra. adsl is faster but the dropouts are a pain & it also freezes. cheers Dave.

I was put onto internode by one of our IT guy. They good service is great never had a dropout

'D&B'= 'Dunworkin & Boss'?
Thanks for the input. Remember when things were simple? The local 'phone exchange operater [spellchek thattie, Bud] kept tabs on who was working whom, 'n whoosee paying. Mail a letter, and it will arrive [albeit via a weird route], sometime.
Today, we're promised instant everything. And we get distressed when it doesn't deliver. Doesn't REALLY matter, does it, except we're all paying our little bits into this giant bs vacuum that , while stupendiously wonderful , is so full of holes.

I still carry a fair tool kit. Don't know why, really.If this car bleep s itself, it's on the phone and wait for the bill.
. Hope you sort the Bigpond problem. Maybe you could use a lower heat setting when you boil the billy Ta D&B.

dammit, thought I hit spell check...

Also, when you hear people bitching about dial-up dropouts ask them who they are with... I haven't heard anyone say anything other than Bigpond yet...
