Draytek Modems - Just Arrived

-
The jury is out on NBN - and will be for some time.. however, for those of your who are connected, we know that the problems can start there.. slow connections, poor performance, terrible customer service, blame games and very low quality modems supplied in most cases.
You're paying for that connection regardless of the speed you're getting so why wouldn't you want to extract the absolutely maximum speed out of your connection? Well, that's an area you do have some control over.
One thing that does make a difference is the quality of the modem you're using. We'd suggest that you retire the cheap, residential grade modem almost all Telco's are supplying and install a far better, commercial or business grade modem. In real-world tests, we were very surprised to see the Draytek Vigor series modems achieving 5-10% consistently faster speeds than even our previous favourites..

Viruses & The Mac

-
What's a Virus on a Mac? Well, in short, the Mac is not threatened by viruses, spyware and other nasties that plague the windows world. Almost all viruses are programmed to exploit security holes in Microsoft Windows.  The operating system the Mac uses is far more robust. The questions we're asked a lot then is 'do you need security and anti-virus software your Mac'. The short answer no. Unless of course your company requires it in which case although your Mac cannot be affected by them, you can pass them on in your email for example. Your Mac already has very advanced intrusion detection software built into it and very powerful features that simply 'do their thing' and don't bother you all day every day. Increasingly, in a world where anti-virus software is so well known and the companies that manufacture it, [ much in the same way as anti-smoking medications that prey on the placebo effect do ], create a demand when it's not there impl...

NBN News : Pre-NBN services disconnection updates.

-
Many Australian businesses use ‘Special Services’ for multi-line telephony and corporate data network connections, as well as a range of other services. Examples of Special Services include Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Business Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and Ethernet Lite. Like most existing landline phone and internet services, many Special Services will be disconnected, so it’s important customers migrate them before their disconnection date.* For most businesses, switching these services over is not an automatic process. Your will need to arrange new services before their expected disconnection date, or risk losing access to their services* which may be critical for them. Due the nature of some of your existing services and associated numbers, it's very important that you allow around 6 months to plan for this change. NBNCo advise that now is the time to start planning. Please contact us so that we are able to man...

Gigabit Ethernet over Earth Wiring

-
Did you know you can create an ultra fast Gigabit and even 2 Gigabit Ethernet network in your house or office solely using the electrical earth wiring already installed? No need for expensive network installs if you're budget conscious and want a fast, D.I.Y. hard-wired network in a hurry.. Exceptionally useful when linking 2 ends of your property with an ultra-fast link to then create other networks that all talk to each other, or you'd like to connect devices to your network that do not have WiFi... or you don't want to use WiFi at all. D-Link have a number of Powerline products that are inexpensive to buy and a 1 click install. Check them out here
