adam is also good

i just setup a wifi network for a mate and he lives 5 to 5.5 kms from the exchange his download frequency was only 2,500KB and upload was 600KB this on a ADSL2+ plan but on there webpage you can change your settings and try get better speeds which we got 3,600KB down and 1000KB up

Another vote for Internode here - always lightning quick and phone help desk is open until midnight every weeknight, and they are very helpful if you have any issues.

I think $79.95 for 40Gb on the 24,000/1,000 plan (waiting for DSL2 currently running at 1,500/256) is bloody awesome for the service level you get. Also there are shiteloads of sites where the data is unmetered - especially Internodes own games and file servers.

tell me more about the wifi Steve. As I am in Northgate and we have some povo piggy-back exchange which is optical and runs a rim, I am told I can never get ADSL2. We didn't get normal ADSL until like a year after people in Northfield and Oakden could get it. I am interested in a wireless solution.

Gonna vote for node here as well, as time goes on they always offer MORE for your money, never less. Every 6-12 months my limit increases and they offer more services. Awesome reliability, awesome speeds (living 100m from the exchange probably has something to do with this) and zero downtime.

sweet thanks for the info SuperMod :( .... Chops and I have spoken many times about why isps don't offer a 'up to 8,000k' service - it only makes sense! Even if I got 3k I would be happy! It's a bugger about the uploads only being up to 384k though - I want to upload more torrents to get more credits!

Speaking of torrents, I am going to start encoding some of the 'Formula D' episodes I have taped, and I will upload them in the near future and will post torrent details for those interested. FYI the show is about the SSCA American Formula D (drift) competition, and features the likes of Rhys Millen. Bloody awesome series!

I got Telstra Bigpond cable... its all that was available in my area at one time, but now I have to wait till end of contract to quit cause its not worth the hassle of them finding my foxtel isnt exactly legit in the way that it is set up not in the way it is paid for... (disconected and not working booster and splitter box).

Im going with node after bigpond cable... only good thing about cable is... i dont know. i think its more reliable.

-setting up programs for torrents and downloading p2p programs is much easier. (Stupid adsl static IPs give me the shits when my mates want me to route the bastards).

The good thing about cable is its downstream is/can be damn fast. More often than not it is quicker than dsl2 unless you are sitting right next door to the exchange.

But cables upstream sucks.. DSL2, I've came to love my 100kb/s upstream.

Internode only offers static ip's for their SOHO plans, I also believe they have or are about to implement a feature where the user can turn off static and run with a dynamic ip if they wish. The soho plans also offer annex-m for those who really love their upstream.

If you don't turn off your computer or connection you can have the same IP for several weeks anyway.

Yep, dynamic or static.. Its no real biggie. I personally would like a static but not worth the extra when services such as noip etc can essentially do the same thing.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
