@drrimmer I ditched
my #Hellstra ™ email yonks ago, then ditched #Hellstra ™ when they were charging 3 times what I am now paying for a mobile plan. My landline went when I changed ISP's. I don't think anyone NEEDS a landline anymore

There's a reason they're called #Hellstra...

@Joshsharp
I ditched #Hellstra ™ years ago because their 'legendary coverage' wouldn't work on the Mornington Peninsula. Unless you're waaaay out in the boonies, where #Hellstra ™ is the ONLY coverage, I'd suggest that you look at other providers.

For my mobile, I'm with Amaysim [piggybacks on the Optus network] saving about $70.00 per month. Ditched landline & only use it for Internet though Internode [not available in Tassie] for about $50.00 per month less than #Hellstra ™. They also offer a Voip phone if you MUST have a landline. Only dropouts: Mobile 1 in a particular valley on the Peninsula. Internet: Nil dropouts other than for programmed maintenance, 1 in 5 years.
