u live next door to the exchange?

He doesn't but I do, about 50m away.

Sure do get ridiculous speeds. With my cap I can do about 110gig on my 40gig plan, 70 of those gigs in the time the server realises Im over my limit and caps me.

:laugh:

Gayarena. :laugh:

Leeman, grab it from internode. No registration required.

Australian patch

For those that for what ever reason have the other euro or us release of the game.

Telstra do have more bandwidth than Internode BUT they have to share it amongst a hell of a lot more noob users (mums, dads, grandma's grandpa's etc whom think because its telstra it must be better).

This results in less available bandwidth per head than Internode offers.

GA has faster file servers for your self because you are with GA. If you can't suck off internodes file servers at full speed then the problem is the link between internode and GA.

The only thing Bigpong has going for it is cable, thats if your one of the luck 1% who are able to get it. :(

I'm all for Internode as they come across to myself as an enthuiasts ISP who has a pashion for developing/improving broadband in Australia. Annex-M is a prime example. Tesltra.. They were trying to cripple Aus.

Another thing I like. Simon the owner of Internode participates on Whirlpool and lets every one know whats going on. :P

I guess that makes me a fanboi! :P lmao

I'd rather be sharing with noobs and grandpas. You know why? Because less people would be Torrenting/Dling, which chews up bandwidth hardcore!

The problem is its the kids that do all the torrenting etc.. So not completely true.

I know lots of noobs (whom I do regular computer upgrades, computer repairs etc) and its their kids that use emule, piolet and torrents and the worse thing, piolet for example defaults to boot when the system starts, so constantly sucking bandwidth.

In the US. Who do you hear of being pinched for dloading music etc.. Teens living at home with their parents.

Telstra is expensive. Unless your on cable *even then its debatable* one would be silly to stick with them.

If all goes as planned I will be moving ~500m away from the exchange down at Moana. :P

So ADSL2+ 24mbit here I come. :(

For those wishing to see the location of their phone exchange....

Telstra's unlimited plan on cable....

Unlimited referring to either :

a) the 10 gig limit

b) the uploads counting as downloads

Sounds like a great deal to me...:P

uploads only mater if they count if your a leech monkey 80% of my monthly downloads come from GA game demos movie trailers patches and general forum stuff

good to hear leeman

I use my upstream for remote desktop, email and web server and the occasional p2p on a private site.

I hardly use p2p, maybe 1 or 2GB per month if that. Doing my general bits and pieces I use ~15gb per month. I'm not really in to game demo's, movie trailers etc. I have been dloading quite a few linux distro's of late though. Linux is still very clunky for an everyday os, great for a server though.

Either way.. Internode ROXORS!! BIGPONG SUXORS!!! :(

I should also mention Internode peer with youtube, microsoft, google and a shit load of other places. So speeds are as quick and reliable as technically possible.

Unsure exactly who Telstra peers with as they don't tell anyone. :P

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
