    Coalition unveil their broadband and internet policy

    Nanos, Let's be very clear. I would have expected more of you. Firstly, no exchanges will be Satellite fed. Secondly, I am surprised that someone who "has a fair bit of knowledge" are making claims about service performance when you don't have the details. Thirdly, I can assure you that...

    What I am telling you is that NBN Co is a standalone company, with the Government as a shareholder. Exactly the same as AirServices Australia. That's what you asked, after all.

    Man, do some research. NBN Co is a Goverment Business Enterprise, not a department.

    VicPol to crack down on people driving with their fog lights on

    Victoria Police are obviously concentrating on solving real crime. I was breath tested a few nights ago and given a rude warning about driving with my fog lights on. A few days later, I received a letter informing me of the specific road rule. Perhaps Vic Pol should focus on the big issues and...

    'dr carl, JJJ' 240v lights + 12v down lights.use same amount of power??????????

    Yeah, I think what you meant to say was P = V.I (ie. Power = Voltage x Current). .

    Telstra chaging everyone for line rental

    AAPT own no copper POTS infrastructure. I'm actually surprised that company is still in business. Absolutely diabolical. Telstra do not offer Naked DSL. Other providers do, using Telstra's ULL (copper line) connected to that provider's own DSLAM (e.g. TPG or iiNet's DSLAM) Telstra do not use...

    Is 100km per hour too fast for sealed country roads ?

    What do you mean by "good quality"? Good surface? Free flowing. Every time I drive in Sydney on the M5 or M7, there is a transition between 100 or 110km/hour and 0km/h. High speed roads work well when there is relatively little congestion. When you could potentially approach stopped traffic at...

    Is 100km per hour too fast for sealed country roads ?

    Very sad. At the end of the day, whether the speed limit is 90 or 100 will have a negligible impact on the traffic statistics. A collision at either speed will typically result in serious injury. I think the focus should be on stricter driver licence requirements and a periodic retesting...

    Rear AUX volume extremely low.

    Common issue. GPS is probably giving you "line level" output. Same with many phones. Put a simple pre-amp ( approx $15) inline between the GPS and AUX in. Can obtain from jaycar.

    My Pontiac 2008 G8GT

    I'm confused. The GXP never made it onto the market, so why is there a GXP badge on the car?

    My 2010 VE SS-V Sedan Special Edition

    No, very disappointing/misleading. I had a senator before this and it displayed the park assist on the LCD screen. This is just a buzzer at the back. I can't tell if I've been done over by the dealer or if the SSV only has this option. I miss all the gadgets that are missing on this.

    My 2010 VE SS-V Sedan Special Edition

    i had the parking sensors added which were part of the sale. I also went back 3 times to have a faulty driver's window fixed. Cheers

    How did you order Poison Ivy? When I bought my SSV S/E, they only came in blue, black and red! (I got blue) Can you order all colours now?

    Yeah, real smart there. Not like you'd behave on the streets anyway even if Easternats were on.

    Someone has managed to strategically spill tar all over your vehicle. I'd ask the police to investigate.

    Bluetooth Handsfree in the VE

    Has anyone had problems with the iPhone 2.0 and the VE bluetooth kit? I only have issues now that I upgraded to 2.0 / 3.0 iphone software. When a call comes in, it switches to "Voice in" and I answer. About 1 second later the audio switches back to the radio and the phone goes to earpiece...

    Airconditioning experts?

    Does it mean there's a problem? The icon only appeared a few days ago (It is a reverse cycle: water is not needed as supply). I imagine the fan box has a condensate drain. Maybe this is blocked? This is all I can think of by the icon being there.

    Airconditioning experts?

    I've got a Daikin ducted split system in my house. Since it's a period home, there was no convenient spot to install the return air system when the original installation took place, so the ducts were poked through the manhole in the hallway. I now want to have these properly installed. My...

    Auto headlights problem

    My previous car, a VE senator had this strange problem where the automatic headlights took a long time to come on (about 1/4 way into citylink tunnel before they come on). I just got a new SS-V and they barely work at all. Sometimes in the tunnel they don't even come on, other times they...

    ceiling insulation - any difference

    No noticeable difference. Just be very careful with installers. Unfortunately anyone can become an "insulation installer" overnight. I had an extremely bad job done at my house. about half of my heat/cooling ducts have been crushed, alarm cables were broken in the roof and downlights were...

    Scanners.

    Like what?
  38. tommo82

    Scanners.

    CFA are simply replacing their mobile and portable radio terminals, not the network (i.e. the base stations). They won't do this until the whole statewide comms strategy is clarified. Their network will remain analogue for some time. They have a $14M budget allocation and recently went to...

    Scanners.

    In Melbourne (and selected regional centres), Police use the MMR network which is digital and encrypted. MFB and Ambulance Vic also use this in metro melbourne. Outside metro you can usually tune in, as CFA and Police use their own conventional analogue networks. They won't go digital...
