Cougar May Be
Forced To Close

02-Sep-10: Cougar Energy may be forced into liquidation and a $26 million asset write-off if the State Govt fails to give the firm's controversial Kingaroy UCG plant permission to re-open.

South Burnett
Gets Global Protection

01-Sep-10: The South Burnett's name will gain global protection under a new deal between Australia and the European Union that comes into force today. The reason?

August 2010 Was
An Exceptional Month

01-Sep-10: The South Burnett - or at least, the Kingaroy weather station - received more than three times its average August rainfall last month. The weather station recorded 105.6mm of rain, well up on the historic August average of 28.6mm.

This Financial Year:
Cut Your Internet Costs In Half!
5th July 2010: Hello everyone! If you're connecting to the Internet with broadband (as roughly 95% of the South Burnett does) you might be unaware that ADSL and wireless broadband have now become so common that prices have collapsed.

Not surprisingly, perhaps, the big telcos that supply our region have been keeping pretty quiet about this. But if you ring them up and ask what your options are, you might be surprised to find that you can now cut your monthly broadband bill pretty sizably.

To use ourselves as an example, South Burnett Online is a big broadband user. And we've been on a 25Gb a month, $99 a month plan for several years now.

But recently we rang Telstra and found out we could either continue to pay the same money and double our usage to 50Gb; or stay on our current bandwidth limit and cut our costs by 50%.

That's a massive price collapse, isn't it?

So this financial year - if you want to lower your monthly overheads - we suggest you give your own ISP or telco a call. There's no sense in paying far more than you have to. Especially when it's for something many of us now regard as an essential in our day-to-day lives.
