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

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.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
