Telstra Air

I’ve just signed up to the new Telstra Air and will be updating this blog on my findings

It sounds like a great way to have internet on the go

I have a 4G wifi that I use at this time but I’m hoping to be able to stop this service if Telstra Air is a success

Telstra Air is available at phone boxes throughout Australia

Here’s a few snippets from Telstra’s website

About Telstra Air

As we work to give you easier access to Wi-Fi, our Telstra Air Network™ is growing. As a Telstra Air member, you can use your Telstra home broadband allowance at thousands of hotspots across Australia. But we’re not stopping there.Thanks to our partnership with Fon you can access your Telstra home broadband allowance at over 15 million Fon Spots overseas.

More from your data

Telstra Air will share a portion of your home Wi-Fi connection to create a hotspot that others can use. When you’re out, you can access Telstra Air hotspots using your home broadband allowance to give you more connection options. You’ll get a lot when you share a little.

Connect to Telstra Air

Once you’ve become a member of Telstra Air, you can get online using your Telstra home broadband allowance when you’re out and about, using your Wi-Fi enabled laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Don’t forget to download the Telstra Air App so that you’ll be able to automatically connect to your nearest Telstra Air hotspot in Australia or Fon Spot when you’re travelling overseas.

Overseas you can still use your own Internet

Fon is a global Wi-Fi network, and we’re their exclusive Australian partner. Like Telstra Air, Fon members share a bit of their home Wi-Fi, and in turn, get access at millions of Fon Spots in countries like the UK, Japan, Germany, South Africa and France.

Before you take off to your next destination, download the Telstra Air App to your iOS or Android device to connect automatically to Fon Spots

New Router

My new router arrived today which was very quick delivery from Telstra

I installed the router fine but it took a bit longer than I expected to get the internet back online

I was on the phone with Telstra and I was going to change to back to my old router when It came good

Setup my wifi added my own wifi keys and ready for action

I searched for hotspots while waiting for my son at school but none to be found which was a shame

I guess it’s going to take time

I’ll add more info of my findings soon…

Anti-Virus Which is Best?

Choosing the right anti-virus software is not an easy decision to make…

When your computer seems sluggish, do you blame your antivirus? That was famously the case in the past, but these days installing antivirus protection can effectively speed up your computer. That’s because the best antivirus products do their job more efficiently than the antivirus built into Windows. Which one is best for you?

Paid vs Free Anti-Virus

Free Anti-Virus

Over 90% of my customers use Avast Anti-Virus free alongside Malwarebytes free

Both are great and I feel as long as you use a little common sense while surfing the internet they will do a great job for you…

Other free anti-virus are AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials

Paid Anti-Virus

For me the best anti-virus is very close between

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2015

Few products score better in independent lab tests than Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2015, and it totally aced our own antiphishing test. On top of that, it offers significant tools to enhance your privacy and system performance. This feature-rich tool remains an antivirus Editors’ Choice

Kaspersky Anti-Virus (2015)

Made a clean sweep, earning top marks from all of the independent antivirus test labs. It’s a new Editors’ Choice for antivirus protection

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 8

Is a favourite Anti-Virus software of mine which I’m using on all my home computers
