Hi Joanna

If you live in Macleod, and you aren't in the half that has the NBN, then you should go for the cable option. If your landlord quibbles point out that this is your working from home job/income that requires the connection, and thus possibly affects your ability to pay your rent. That might focus their attention just a little...

At the moment on cable in Macleod I'm getting 105 Mbps download and 3.9 Mbps upload. I'm not looking forward to our impending switch to the NBN :(

If I'm on the university VPN that drops to 13/3.92. Although I'm not sure you'll be required to use your university VPN to deliver lectures via Zoom...

Hi to all,

Now my university is closed for the duration of the health crisis, I have to give at least 16 hours of tutorials / lectures a week via zoom. The audience varies between 20 and 80 students. As my only internet connections are:
1. is a dongle (with Vodafone) that has 3GB , and
2. my mobile phone with 60GB (also with Vodafone)
I am urgently in need of a much better connection.

Any advice on what and with whom? I am in rented accommodation in Macleod, pretty much a mobile blackspot, and the landlord doesn't like the idea of cable being brought to the premises.

Thanks
Joanna
