Just attended a job where they require a redundant telephone connection in their lift (incase you get stuck!) but since the NBN it comes out of their VDSL modem which is by far not redundant. It should be coming straight off the fiber modem in the garage which has a battery backup. Telstra has their telephone run directly from the NBN fiber modem when IINET have it run from their supplied modem.

 

Very annoying because when the telephone runs from their supplied modem instead of the NBN fiber modem it seriously limits the modem replacement options which meant I wasn't able to get their service back up and running today as I would have hoped - they need a new ISP supplied modem. I did ask the client to ask their provider if this can be changed so we can run a cable from the telephone output of the fiber modem for redundancy.

 

Oh well, charged em $80 to say their VDSL modem is faulty.

Serious question to anyone in the know.
Copped a 30 over fine, paid that. Then got the 3 month suspension notice.
Is it worth appealing it knowing I've already managed to get 5 demerits prior to this in the last year?

Gonna be a massive PITA for work without being able to drive (3-400km average a week) but I don't want to be forking out $2k or more for legal fees if it doesn't work out.

 

I appealed a suspension about 9 years ago now. Seems just like yesterday. Fark I'm getting old. 

 

Anyway it was 45 and under. 93 in a 50 zone. 

I drove for a living and had a solicitor etc. 

Ended up with a reduced fine and 3 months off the road. After solicitors fees I was even further behind. 

I think I got screwed by the solicitor. He didn't really try anything. Would've been better doing it myself. Plus the judge was a kent. While I was in there though he let off a dui. That I don't understand. 

 

Take Damo's advice and exhaust all avenues before giving up.

Came back after not logging in for a few days to " Page 3304 of 3313"

 

Can I skip the missed pages, is it the usual pick on k31th about the login stuff?

 

Anyway on a bright note, I found someone that will pull my injectors and fuel rail off and ultrasonically clean them and flow test the injectors, so booked it in for the 21st, which is fine by me as I have half my department on training and leave the next two weeks anyway.

 

The cars had a rough idle after I had the fuel filter replaced at the 93,000 mark, which I did after reading that Fraud don't change them as part of any service, I also had the diff oil changed on the same service, for the same reason.
