Home entertainment review – bundling stuff

Recently I have made a few diary posts about my retirement, this is my last week of work and there are lots of things to do such as a review of our phone, internet and cable TV services. For the last 30 odd years we have had a Telstra phone service, for 10 years Bigpond cable and for 10 years Foxtel (on Telstra cable). In an effort to stem declining PSTN revenue (loosing phone lines) Telstra is offering a range of bundles, I zoomed in on the Home TV bundles:

I decided the $198 bundle was the best one for us. We go from HomeLine Complete to Reach, I don’t use the phone much but ET makes lots of local 20c calls which are included now along with cheaper STD. We have been on cable Extreme since it became available so no change here with Elite – but we save on power. The Motorola SB1501 and D-Link DI-824VUP will be replaced with a single unit - the Netgear CGD24N (which is suitable for use in Cable 30 areas).

This time next week

Reminder to myself-

 

Today is Friday 2nd July, this time next week will be my last day of work!

 

PS. better jot that down on a sticky note and stick to forehead.
