Apart from Boost, are there any other low cost mobile providers that
give you the whole Telstra mobile network?

ALDI, but you know that!
>

Aldi does not have the full Telstra mobile network:

"We use parts of the Telstra 5G, 4G and 3G network to deliver ALDImobile
coverage to more than 98.8% of the Australian population."

5G you have to be close 100 metres, to a 5G tower for full speed and it's expensive!
I have 5G and 700 metres to a 5G tower and can only get 5G you have been conned
But you know this!
Check, type in your address and see how close you are to the nearest tower!

Can one buy a repeater to extend the range of Telstra Air?

I'm thinking of a small device to place secretly near a Telstra Air
spot so the signals can get to my place. It could be powered by a
small solar panel.

Please say yes!

Not on a Mobil Phone!
There is a scam where metallic stamp stuck on the back is claimed to

You can get a battery powered Wi-Fi repeater.

ReadyBoost speeds up the Windows system mainly by utilizing a USB

ReadyBoost has little impact on the computer performance improvement.

Turns out that what IKEA call Toll/IPEC calls themselves TeamGE
and that they are completely fucking useless. BY FAR the worst
operation I have ever had the misfortune to be saddled with.

The useless fuckers dont give their drivers a mobile phone so that
there is no way for the driver to ring your mobile when they can't
work out where your house is. No one else is actually that stupid.

The driver decided that there was no one home, but didnt
even bother to knock on the fucking door and I made sure
that I was always there all day and didnt even move away from
the front door all day even for a piss and just dumped the parcel
at the hub which is one of the newagents in the main street.

That happed a few years ago with the same useless operation
and has happened every single fucking time that a delivery has
come using those useless fuckers.

And while you can certainly ring that useless operation, they
refuse to attempt a redelivery. After I demaned a supervisor,
he did claim that I can get IKEA to request a redelivery, but
I bet that the useless fuckers will just fail to delivery again.

Haven't rung IKEA yet, too early yet. It will be interesting
to see what their response is.

And this is a service they charge $29 for, for a completely
fucked 'service', 3 times what everyone else charges.

Sounds like IKEA have bought Swedish bureaucracy with them!
Bureaucracy is something about Sweden the Swedish hate as well but
never change.

the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

Nothing to do with IKEA, the problem is with the fucked TeamGE/Toll/IPEC

I have just rung IKEA and they are telling TeamGE/Toll/IPEC
to attempt to deliver again and if that fails again, it will be
returned to IKEA and IKEA will send it using Australia Post.

Just register with Australia post, they email and SMS/Text when it is
coming and show track url.

staff found to be doing a good job.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other
people's money. #Sir Ronald Millar

On March fourteenth, in the year of our Lord. Eighteen eighty three
Karl Marx made his most important contribution to mankind...

There is no difference between communism and socialism,
except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end:
communism proposes to enslave men by force,
socialism - by vote.
It is merely the difference between murder and suicide
#Margaret Thatcher
