Reviews

  • Netgear EVA9150

    While the Netgear EVA9150 is far from perfect, it offers an easy way to access the widest array of digital audio, photo and video files for the do-it-yourself crowd.

  • NetComm NP201AV HomePlug

    NetComm's redesigned its home plugs to make them somewhat easier to fit onto a plug socket — and significantly faster as well.

  • Meridian Sooloos Music Server

    The Meridian Sooloos is a modular music server with an easy-to-use interface and one of the best Random modes we've seen. The downside? It's expensive.

  • Telstra T6

    The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.

  • Samsung C5220

    The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.

  • Telstra Turbo 21 modem

    Telstra's Turbo 21 delivered the fastest wireless broadband experience we've seen. This excellent performance will be enough to justify its high price for some.

  • Netgear Space-Saving Powerline Network Kit

    Netgear's Space-Saving Powerline Network Kit has some good ideas, some bad. On the performance front though, if you absolutely need homeplugs, we'd suggest spending more for the higher rated 200Mbps plugs.

  • Telstra T165i

    The Country Phone will feel at home in those remote areas that struggle with mobile coverage. It makes up for an absence of bells and whistles with great performance of its essential features.

  • Legit Mininova gives no traffic relief

    Mininova's decision to remove links to copyright-protected media last week is being hailed as a victory by Dutch anti-piracy group Stichting Brein. However, it's unlikely to make much difference to network traffic and could prove a boon for independent producers.

  • Telstra's lightning iPhone offer

    The nation's largest telco, Telstra, has unveiled a new iPhone plan which will see new customers getting a $100 account credit when they purchase a new plan.
