What can you get for $250

What speed, Rocker? (I can't wait to give Optus the heave-ho.)

So what sorta ply did you use BM.:)

We used really el-cheapo exterior grade 3.7mm ($19.95 per sheet inc GST).

These things are PERFECT scout projects, both to build and to sail. Wait for Michael Storer's metric version of the plan (it will be free).

To digress though, I saw a boat last week called Bouy Scout.

Rocker, technically I pay $70 per month with the big T, (512k) but have just been given a new modem, and four months free in exchange for a twelve months contract. Combine that with 10% off our mobile and fixed phone calls and you find our internet is pretty much at no cost.

So I'll rephrase my original... for $250, I get about three weeks phone, mobile and internet!

Cheers,

P

Speed is 512/128.

Peter,

Unlike you, I very rarely use my phone or mobile, so free calls would not benefit me at all.

Compared to dial-up, my broadband is also effectively free, since I now no longer have to pay for a second line for the Internet.

I have big Swamp Cable: averages around 4.5 Mbps - but for an extra $10/month can get up to a (theoretical) 17Mbps from the beginning of next month. Tempting...
