I need to know....

I've never understood the purpose of a jock strap that regular underwear can't do...

Not that I have ever wore one, but I think its to keep the meat & two veg nice and secure....

[The Ash Man]

A good affordable internet provider?

i can recommend Aussie Broadband, they have been very good

Plus 1 for Aussie

I've never understood the purpose of a jock strap that regular underwear can't do...

I have a crack* at wearing one when playing footy years ago, hated wearing the classic jock style and the boy leg boxer wasn't ideal in 90's style footy shorts so I went the jock strap and bike shorts, was ok but ended up back with jocks in the end.

Unless you’ve got a big one you wouldn’t understand

Wouldn't a big one be a waste of time? Would think you'd need a tight fitting one.

Is there anywhere in Adelaide that a bloke can buy a JOCKSTRAP?

None of the department stores has 'em, not even Rebel Sports.

You'll probably need to go somewhere like IDM sports, near Le Cornu

Cheers FC. I find it ironic that the best advice on the matter of jockstraps comes from somebody who presumably has no need of one

Another internet question. Sorry.

One of the plans I am looking at with Aussie broadband. It says it’s typical evening speed is 22mps on a typical evening. Is that good or standard

Basically that’s a consequence of the ACCC getting stuck into the big players (Optus I think) for selling people 100mb plans that could never ever reach that level.

All internet experiences a slowdown in peak times. The pipe from your house to the ISP is basically your max speed, but then that traffic gets bundled with everyone else’s when it gets sent out into the wider world. The size of this pipe isn’t a pure multiple of the customers an ISP has as that isn’t cost effective for them.

So there is a thing called a contention ratio where they sign up a certain amount of people per bandwidth they have.

If you go with someone like dodo who offer extremely cheap unlimited plans you will get very slow internet during peak times.

Dropping from 25 max to 22 is very good in my opinion. Personally I have a 50 max connection and get 47 or so off peak, drops to maybe 35 at the lowest in peak times. (They quote 42 as the slowdown speed)

My personal opinion is that you shouldn’t go for an unlimited option unless you really really think you need it. And most people don’t. I stream full HD Netflix as well as game and download a lot and I go through 300-400 gig. Maybe if you had a whole family live on YouTube full time you could go more but I doubt it. In general the capped plans from isps will have better contention ratios than the unlimited ones.


In my opinion the best way to go is stay away from Telstra and Optus and pick one of the other bigger ones. Internode used to be excellent but is owned by tpg now, as is most of the other mid level ones.

So I tried to find the next biggest independent isp and Aussie has good reviews.

Lol I should send my referral code. PM me

Sorry for the long response.

Good reply Benny,

Sounds like you know your way around all this techy stuff......

I leave it to the propeller heads myself!

I think I will get 100gig on for 55 a month with Aussie broadband. I watch Netflix and play games and watch some YouTube and when the girls are over they will watch their kids shows on iPads. Should be plenty for me and pretty affordable. If I need more I will get more.

[amber_fluid]

You’ll be struggling to do all that on 100GB a month.
I use it for similar and generally use about 200GB a month.

I’m with iinet and have no issues with them.

As somewhere mentioned though stay away from Optus if you can.

They don’t have lockin contracts so you can easily go up or down if required

[Wedgie]

We pay $50pm for unlimited but I think my missus got some sort of loyalty discount when we moved in together. I think its 20 or 30 dollars a month dearer for new customers.

We got right royally shafted when we merged accounts.

With Adam we got bumped up from 200GB to 500GB when we moved house, and then up to Unlimited when they changed to iiNet.

Im with Optus for my mobile. Just ordered a Samsung S8, 20GB data, free streaming of Netflix, Spotify, etc for $59/month.

Much better than the 1GB data I get with my S7 on a $64/month plan. My plan runs out this month.

We get 35GB shared data with our phones when we use 6 or 7 on a high month, 1200GB for the house internet, pretty much all the foxtel channels and get slugged $430 per month, I think we can alter it without breaking contract fees in June.

Had to go a BYO phone deal to start with to avoid early termination fees, still copped a $600 bill for one of them merging our accounts. We're smarter for it now.
