    Hey Walker... if you want to get REALLY depressed..... take a look at some of the Cable plans available in Canada!!

    Just a quick sample.... and there are better deals than this

    $54.95 per month

    Includes:
    • Up to 2.5Mbps download speed
    • Up to 1Mbps upload speed
    • 10 email addresses
    • 70GB of traffic
    • 40 roaming dialup hours
    • 5 dynamic IP addresses

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
    2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...

    have a look at the japanese plans.... 10mb here, 10mb there, everywhere 10mb :P

    the problem in AU is the cost of the pipe... and the cost of the port

    $500 per mbit per month... wholesale.... and about $30+ for a 256/64 port.... and $70+ for a 1.5/256

    you have to value add to make any money on an adsl connection

    the problem with the likes of tpg and dodo etc is their contention ratio is at least 30/1.....

    a lot of te market place prefers to pay more for a lower contention rate and cleaner pipe which is the part of the market i am about to enter, again, utter madness, but.....

    Not if it spans two billing periods.

    Hi

    Just discovered the world of torrents and am having an issue with some movie files that come as an "rar" file extension which after extracting become "BIN" instead of the preferred "avi" extension and do not get included as a file for use with Nero.

    Any suggestions?

    .bin and .cue are disc image files, the .cue is the cuesheet to tell how the image should be written to disc.

    Thanks for that but my question meant to ask how make the "bin" file usable with Nero.

    I have tried renaming it as "avi" but it is unrecognised and therfore cannot be used in the burning process, is there software available to make the conversion?

    Yep, or just do a search for "bin convert" and you will find a few programs.

    gee, i thought living up here in paradise was about as technologically isolated as you can get. But, after registering interest with the hibis program, we got broadband last month.Took ages to get sorted out.
    Good price too through a bundled package with my phone people , no not telstra. AAPT, free modem and filter.
    ACE I am surprised you can't get it where you live, i guess you have registered with HIBIS, my litle exchange box is over 4 kms away,I measured it but we can still get cabled adsl. The first offers we got were through satellite, fully subsidised by the government.But I didn't want another dish on the roof.
