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.

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.

I guess that makes me a fanboi! 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.

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...

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.

Busky2k.

Are you on an SOHO Internode plan?

From what I can tell it looks like it.
