*Cries in fixed wireless speeds*

So my K70 Mk2 about 2 months ago decided it wanted to play silly buggers and not show the correct RBG lighting format I selected, so I've FINALLY sent it back to PCCG for an RMA and hopefully, I get either a full refund or a replacement, however in the meantime for the last 2 months I've been using the Kogan mechanical keyboard its got Outemu blue switches and for $45 (what I originally paid) I haven't had a single issue with the keyboard, tho finding the actual software to change the RGB lighting was a pain. I did recommend the keyboard to @MiniSanders after had issues with his Corsair keyboard as well. Having said that Mini ordered some double-shot keycaps for his as the default font on the default keys was a bit of a pain to try and decipher what it meant, after seeing what they looked like I also ordered some and installed them this morning. They feel and add a bit of different sound compared to the default keycaps. Default keycaps Double-shot PBT keycaps

@Predz and I tested the load times last night. I used to have to wait around 7 - 10 minutes to load into GTA Online, now it's cut down to about 2 minutes. They also did offer him a job apparently but he's only 16 from what I've heard so naturally, he had to decline the offer.

So I got a call from Barnaby Joyce's office today. They rang Telstra and have organized compensation for us. we are getting $375 in credit on the bill. $25 off our plan till the contract ends and they aren't charging us for the modem. Our case manager should call either dad or my step mum today to confirm this.

100% agreed, we got quoted $29,000 by the NBN Co directly to have FTTP installed, we also found out that was the quote to have the entire street done, not just our premises, Dad said he'd be behind the idea if it was just us.

I notice when it is peak usage time cause my speed will drop from 70 to about 60 - 55, from around 5ish until 10pm. Had no major issues at all since installing it. This weekend I'm getting a 30m cable and going back to wired rather than wireless.

We are in Pop's house as Pop has been moved to the hospital full time as he's too fragile to live by himself. Pop never had the NBN installed at all, so there was no pre-existing cable or dish on the roof. When Nan was alive they did have ADSL 2 but that was the extent of it. They assumed that we were gonna be happy with having a spotty 4G connection and a little 4GX dongle... So that's why it was a massive fight to get them to come out to install it. The installation process for fixed wireless is pretty simple. He put the dish in a spot where it has a clear line of sight at the base and tower with no obstructions at all.

Manilla, probably a little bit bigger than Nhill. At least our power doesn't shut off at 2 am The way the NBN Co installed the NBN here was bloody weird. Red pin is where i am, we are in a "fixed wireless area" and the solid shade of purple is all FTTC. Originally the town was supposed to get FTTP but it was soon changed to FTTN then FTTC with the rest geting Fixed Wireless.

Well we are already getting the max speed we can get on fixed wireless! waiting on the case manager to call so we can start another fight for refunds.

TBH mate I have no clue, I was so caught up in hearing the shit that old mate has had to deal with from the NBN Co lately I forgot to ask. But he did say that the job was listed as important and that it needed to be done before days end.

BOOM! the techy we had come all the way from Dubbo, ended up being here for 4 hours.

Barnaby Joyce's office rang me today. They wanted the account number for our Telstra account as they are going to escalate this as we asked for compensation this morning when our case manager rang my step mum to see if anyone was going to be home, and the case manager turned sour and snapped and said "I'll see what I can do, but I doubt it" in a shitty tone. Told the MP's assistant this, they assured me that we'd be awarded some sort of compenstation, as it's been 3 months since this all started and we've been paying $99 a month for a service we can't really use. Having said all that, the end is near fingers crossed this time tomorrow I'll have some sort of fixed internet service.

New Mortal Kombat movie looks sick!

Thanks mate. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.............. again lol

They said between 8am and 12pm. Its next Wednesday and it sounds more promising then the last time they said "15th of December between the hours of 8am and 4pm"
