NOT f**kING HAPPY!

Signed up to 3 mobile broadband as they promised d/l speeds better than my ADSL1 connection at home for a better price.

This is the result:

What a load of f**king crap. They will be getting an earful from me tomorrow

Not happy JAN!!!

Ignore speed tests they are a load of crap.

Dload from a mirror to find out your true dload speed.

That speed test reads lower than what I really dload at by approx 50-80kbytes/s.

Remember you do have a 30day trial if you like to call it that. :blink:

Yep agree with the file mirror thing, the Internode speed test even tells you to do that if you have a fast connection. 2150kb/s here

LOL @ 100m exchange on ADSL2+, too bad you need like 5 torrents going to reach that speed.

lol yeah speed tests arnt too bad an indication but definitely don't hold as gospel

[*Test Results*]

----------------------------------

Test run on [*15/09/2007*] @ [*03:01 PM*]

Mirror: [*Telstra Bigpond*]

Data: [*9 MB*]

Test Time: [*5.25 secs*]

Your line speed is [*14.4 Mbps*] (14398 kbps).

Your download speed is [*1.76 MB/s*] (1800 KB/s)

Well, I tried my wireless here at work today (city, east side) and speeds are 800kbps and a download speed of ~70kbps.. Seems the reception is just rat shit at my house :)

So looks like I need to keep paying for line rental and ADSL1 :action-smiley-069:

Unfortunately NO. our house is on a RIM service, ie. it's multiplexed at our suburb before being taken back to the main exchange. This doesnt allow ADSL2+ unfortunatley, but we CAN get ADSL1 (which is something).

I was hoping to can home line rental ($25 per month) and land line ADSL ($40pm for same speed, $65 total) and just pay for wireless at $30 per month, to save some money.

BUT looks like the internet gods have said no LOL.

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
