    Firefox Extensions

    I've been having some problems over the past couple of months of racing through my downloads much sooner than ever before.

    After the usual thoughts of viruses and neighbours stealing wireless I gave up and upped my download limit. Found this a week or so ago.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/992/

    It is a Firefox extension that stops web pages from auto refreshing themselves. Domain.com.au, smh.com.au both autorefresh.

    Didn't realise that house hunt costs so much.

    Cheers
    Simon

    Question

    I wonder how many other sites use autorefresh? Use a few firefox extentions, but that one is new to me. I have a 512K\8Gb wireless broadband connection, that slows to a less than 10K feed at times. And it does not seem to matter if I use Firefox, Opera, IE, it all crawls at times, haven't been over my 8Gb limit though, so who knows what causes it. One day I have less than 10% of rated speed, the next I'm at 107%, go figure. That's IT for you.

    Shorty.

    Where's your local base station? Any ideas how many users? Stab in the dark, but is wireless internet the same user/bandwidth style setup as mobile phones?

    Talking

    Local station is only a Klick or so away, on the other hill, the other side of town.
    As for the user base?, LOTS. Internode, Agile comms and the local council got into bed, and have setup some 30 or so solar powered stations throughout the Coorong Council area in SA. Local regional center, Murray Bridge is a town of about 50,000 souls, so at least one other user is in the system. But, at least I have communications now, never had before, no phone lines close enough for any internet service to run, God bless wireless broadband and Hibis.

    Shorty.
