Big Sound, Small Price !! – Purchased from Big W and was pleasantly surprised by the big sound coming from such a small and cheap speaker. Does the phone thing, floats, 5W speaker, charging cable. Great little knock around speaker for $29 .... you can't go wrong.…

SO FAR SO GOOD – I've read many negative reports lately so I've been checking my nbn speed over the past few days. Yesterday morning it was around 8mbs ... lunch time around the 16mbs mark....…

which was concerning considering I'm on the 50mbs plan. However, things have now improved considerably... last night I was getting around 45mbs and just now .... just shy of 50mbs, which are more the figures I've been used to. I did receive an email from Mates a few days back informing me that my service may be temporarily effected by changes they were making and indeed my service has been compromised.... but it seems all is well again and I'm hoping it'll continue. I'll keep my eye on it but at the moment it's all good here in Melbourne.

Further to my initial review, it's now mid September and I've had very few issues..... still getting around 50mbs which is what I'm expecting. Received a courtesy call from Mates yesterday to see how I was travelling which was unexpected but appreciated..... that never happened with Telstra that's for sure !! So all in all I'm very satisfied with Mates both for my NBN and Mobile services.

FANTASTIC OVEN.... WHO NEEDS AN AIR FRYER – Cooks quickly and very economical to run. Roasts come out beautiful and juicy. Makes terrific toasted sandwiches. Rarely use my large gas oven anymore. Easy to clean. I wouldn't be without one.…
