Cust?

Today our new Internet service was installed. It is a local WISP. The difference with our RBI service is dramatic. No more buffering, no adaptive streaming, no peak period drop-outs, just steady, consistent Internet. Years of constant frustration have evaporated. MY smile is broad, indeed.

It is still early days and it will take awhile to check everything out in practice and be certain it is all as hoped, but first signs are very promising. What a joy after all the crap with RBI. It is cheaper, as well, and no data cap! My god! Can life get any sweeter?

This clever post from a reader on BBC sports article reporting on Blackcaps win over India at CWC2019

BBC website comments:

 

Indians should not be too upset as everyone knows how hard it is to beat Ferguson's team at Old Trafford

Gathered two Victorinox Limited Edition (1.969 Pcs.) 'Man on the Moon' Knifes released on July 20th 2019, 20:17 UTC. Their website went down at this time for at least three hours. :-)

Ordering from the US on Wednesday with Amazon, and it being here Tuesday morning via Youshop, despite paying for economy shipping and them predicting 5th of August for delivery!!!

This, the same company who took nearly 2 weeks to get a small item from CHCH to Auckland 2 weeks ago.

Getting an email from PBTech on Thursday offering a "Daily Steal" discounted laptop followed up by another email an hour later advising "Don't buy a Laptop today..." "...buy one this Saturday and SAVE!"

Having a Windows update that doesn't appear to have broken anything, or re-ordered my sound devices!

Must be my lucky? day: (2 posts here in 1 day!)

Fibre being installed this afternoon :-)

 

Just got mine installed this morning. Glorious!! 

30 ish more days before I can order mine. I am hoping it's quick and easy so I can have Fibre for the RWC kick off. 

The road works at the end of my street = Fibre not far away now!

To offset some of the courier complaints: Package picked up from Auckland at 6:20 this morning and arrived at my place in Whakatane a few minutes ago.

My cat deciding to sleep next to me at night. 

Seeing Downer in my street and rolling out fibre.. still have to wait to November apparently before i can order but it is coming!
