Ah well, that's what they claim, 7-10 working days. I'm giving them allowance because I've been in Australia long enough to know not to take promised deadlines seriously!Originally posted by the Bear:you sure 10 days is enough for them to set up and test and burn in and deliver your PC?

Optus explains that they are in the midst of taking over the Richmond territory from Telstra so in the meantime, the Broadband in my area is only 56k.Originally posted by the Bear:btw.. your broadband.. what is it like?

About three months later, after the official takeover and whatever technical works has been completed for my area, Broadband will go up to 20,000k.
I've been a Beggar for soooooo long, I'm not going to be a Chooser because you know what they say about Beggars and Choosers!
Soooo happpyyyyyy!!! -
uhh.. 56k is.. a crawl.. and is dial-up

Oh gosh... that's like a symbol of my teenage-hood or sumthin'!Originally posted by elindra:This is like soooo retro
Makes me feel darn old now... Am I considered 'Retro' now? Is that short for "Retrograde"? 
-
Must be 516 then. Or sumthin'.Originally posted by the Bear:uhh.. 56k is.. a crawl.. and is dial-up
It's 'DSL' and he says that's the other name for Broadband. Anyways, there's no other option now until they takeover territory from Telstra. -
DSL.. probably 512k
oh.. check your contract again... just how much data they let you throughput before it drops to 56k
if it's like 2GB, you'll see that you're almost on 56k all the time... -
Darnit... it's sizzling hot out there!!
My skin feels like it's trying to shrivel up from the dry heat already! 
Alright, gotta go! Will keep glancing fondly at my online order! HOpe there'll be no horrible hiccups in the meantime! -
Yeah, 2GB.Originally posted by the Bear:DSL.. probably 512k

When the ADSL is up, I'll see how. Maybe I'll switch packages then. -

I don't expect to download much. Probably just download games from sites like Shockwave or BigFish, that's about it. Mom's been updating me about all the games she's discovered. I just told her last night that she can start her own online forums about gaming online cause she's so experienced and knowledgeable! -
