I think having AUD is a decent idea, but more as a backup in case your credit card companies suddenly start declining your transactions…

What sort of NBN do you have? If you have the good stuff you only need a router; the fiberoptic modem will already be permanently affixed…

At least it is much better than 12/1 (The ADSL-equivalent teir of NBN, and a poor ADSL connection could be way worse than that.)

I can see why this earns a neg for claiming 1080p is 720p. On the other hand I quite like this style of projector, 720p isn't too bad for a…

And yet the peak load is only 105kg. At least they give a weight limit. I am really looking for a bike with a 150+ weight limit.

I can't see why you would have to restart your router. The NBN box always offers a 1000/1000 ethernet link to the router, it just doesn't…
