That Net Site

Today Telstra has released a raft of new plans for bundling your broadband, telephone and even your TV.  You can also get a new Telstra T-Box and/or a T-hub which on looking at the plans are a welcome change for Telstra and Bigpond when it comes to value for service.  What is so great also is the increased quota that assists families to enjoy the ever growing rich Internet environment at full speed with 100 and 200GB plans as part of the bundles.

However…

If you are in a rural location that cannot get ADSL or Cable, or if you are in any location where you cannot get ADSL or Cable then you miss out.  The new plans are only for ADSL and Cable customers, so if you cannot get ADSL or Cable you get nothing and are stuck on the high priced and low quota wireless or even satellite plans.  As far as I am concerned this is basic discrimination.

Why can ADSL and Cable users enjoy the full benefits of the Internet while wireless users cannot?

If you want to read more about the new plans have a look here -

If you are sick and tired of being discriminated against and want to have your voice heard then please sign our petition here – http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/35611/sign.html – and maybe something can be done to improve services for wireless users.  Also if you can write a letter to your member of parliament and ask them to help you get what you deserve, and that is better value for all not just ADSL and Cable users.

Roll on the NBN!

For anyone that frequents my site and is wondering why the site has not been updated for a while, it is simply because my ongoing illness often stops me from doing a lot of things and there have been other things occupying my time.  However I want to keep this site up and running and will be trying to make more frequent posts as I can with posts being created over several days.

Well it was something in the planning for quite some time, saying should I or shouldn’t I but in the end I did it and I am happy to announce the release of cameraforums.com.au.

cameraforums.com.au

While it might seem like your normal run of the mill forum site this site has been developed by me to fill a need.  By that I mean it is targeted more to the Aussie user, but it is by no means restricted only to Australians.  Anyone from anywhere is welcome to come along and make themselves a member and chat about everything related to cameras.

Rather than focus on one type of camera I have made it cover cameras of all types and styles and uses.  From the older film cameras to the more current digital, from the point and shoot all the way up to the Digital SLR range of cameras.  It also covers camcorders and other video camera types such as web cams and security cameras.  Basically if it is camera related then this is the forums for it.

The forums however will only be successful if they are used so what are you waiting for go and create an account and help me make them useful for everyone

I will also be allowing store owners to make posts about their services and supplies and hope to soon have a discount system in place where members will be able to get a discount from the stores that do post on the forums – more on that soon

So anyway hope you like the new forums and find them useful and as always any feedback is always helpful

It has again been no news from me on the site – sorry people just too busy with other aspects of my life – will try and get into this blog thing a bit more over the next few weeks and don’t be surprised if you see some more controveral topics

Well if your a visitor to my site every now and then your probably thinking I have left the building, well nothing could be further from the truth.  The fact is I’m busy – very very busy and as such have little time to do what I really want to do, such as make posts here

But no matter I am still around, just in case you are curious… I have even had a few of my clients ask where I am as my MSN has been offline for a few days…  I have been there just my MSN was off (by accident of course).

That brings me to a new topic I am writing and it is about support from freelancers and I mean after completed work support.  I pride myself on after project completion support no matter what it is and I know my clients really appreciate it.  However I am interested to hear (or read) any views on after web site deign support, to what level (if any) do you provide free support, what support fees you charge (if any), do you have a support fee structure and how well is that received by your current and past clients… so may questions and do little time – so anyway I’ll be back soon with an expanded topic relating to after web site design completion support… so come back soon
