Been a while since I logged into Kanopy.
Just been there, updated my password and having a browse now.
I have library accounts with Eastern Regional Libraries (our library) and Whitehorse Manningham Libraries. The libraries have a monthly viewing limit so to double my viewing points I also signed up with Whitehorse :-)

Telstra speed test – looks OK
Telstra offer – Upgrade to Superfast Internet
Telstra offer – Upgrade to Superfast Internet Add-On at no extra cost
Hi Alan,
We’re excited to let you know that for a limited time we’ve upgraded your internet speed by giving you the Superfast Internet Add-On to your Premium Internet Plan at no additional cost (usually $30 per month) for the next 6 months.
The Superfast Internet Add-On has the potential to more than double the download speeds of your current plan’s NBN Premium Evening Speed – the Superfast Internet Add-On has typical download speeds of 230Mbps (7-11pm).
Happy with 100/40 so will stay with that.
Note: The upload speed is normally above 30Mbps.
NBN/Telstra speed test.
NBN/Telstra 100/40 speed test check.
Hmm…upload is usually over 30Mbps
Scam telephone calls
We have a Panasonic phone system that does a good job of blocking unwanted callers.
However over the last few months the Panasonic base station has been busy announcing ‘Call from private caller’ and they seem to be increasing!

Windows 10 and simpleTV IPTV – keeping up with the news on the Ozzie Sky News channels plus Sky News UK – very convenient
Telstra/NBN Speed Test
Have not preformed one for a while – looks OK
NBN is down
Internet went down about 20 mins ago but we are good as the Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 has switched over to mobile backup for both both internet and phone.
Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 – dodgy update
We have the Gen 2 version that GSM internet AND voice backup and ET complained this afternoon that she tried to make some calls – and nothing ??? OK…ring your mobile – nothing. Ring my mobile – nothing. Hmm…we have a problem so went to log into the modem and my usual admin password is rejected…huh.
No Internet !!!
Not able to even access the Telstra modem downstairs in my study from the balcony AIO desktop – bugger.
The Dell 16 port switch in the linen cupboard is dead – no lights. This thing has been running for like 15 years, I did have to recap the board some years ago but apart from that – is good.
