Bigpond and Windows 7
Posted by afinder on November 12, 2009
Do yourself a favour and DO NOT install Windows 7 if your broadband provider is Bigpond (Telstra).
Currently, a lot of the Telstra modems do not have compatible Windows 7 drivers. Sure, there are workarounds for people with a bit of technical knowledge but for the average Joe it’s not a good idea. Also, it would be nice for places like Harvey Norman to tell people who are buying new computers about the problem. What could be worse for the man off the street than buying a new laptop for his kid as a Christmas present only to find out that it doesn’t work on Christmas Day..?
