Gonna say, you must be with Bigpond but I can see you are.
I just changed plans from internode to bigpond and yep, a whole bunch of
blank spots now where I know there used to be posts. And nothing much new
in the last week. A post or two here and there but only about half a dozen
posts in the last week.

As much as I despise bigpond, I am forced to go to them as Internode would
not provide access to material I need for my website to be upgraded. Being
in a country locale, there is no real choice of ISP's that provide the
speed we want.

Progress, it's a backward step in reality. Just try watching the new
digital tv. When it works that is. and the Canberra digital radio staions
seem to go off the air a lot too.
