question for the technologically advanced, regarding two types of internet in the home

I work from home, i wont bore you with the details about that but i already have telstra cable broadband.. its fast and works ok for me.. and i use lots of streaming videos and “live” scoring feeds for my job. my question is this.. i cant get a static IP address with it.. god knows why. but i can with the much slower and less reliable ADSL2+. i have been told i cannot have both in my house at the same time, via one company or two.

Spammer phone calls

I keep receiving calls from an Auckland number +64 9 557 4617. I keep letting it go through to the keeper usually, however last night I actually answered it, quickly cutting the person off on the other side of the line after her speel and asked them not to call me again. However, I had some concerns, because when she finished her speel, she asked if I was driving, I answered, ‘yeah, don’t call me again” and promptly they hung up. My concern is that they are one of those spam calls where they record you answering the phone and answering a basic question, then go to sign you up over the phone to numerous things. Wondering if someone has dealt with this kind of spammer before. submitted by /u/adamh707 [link] [comments]

I miss being able to drive to see all of my mates from high school and uni within a short drive, and actually being able to find a park when I get there. I miss my family, who were there for anything, any time I needed it, even if it were only to be treated to some homestyle cooking for a while. I miss the Brown Snake, enjoying a cycle along the concourse or a ride on the City Cat. I left for good reason in 2013, to travel Europe and enjoyed my time in the alps in France and living a fast paced lifestyle in the city in
