But at home, I'm on that pair gain system, so I connect at 31.2kbps :P

I've argued with Telstra many, many times to get relocations, 2nd line installed and even thought about plowing a cheap bomb of a car into the local Exchange so it gets upgraded (as there's no spare spots on it to even get me off the system!) but nothing has worked.

So at home, I'm stuck on dial-up. No cable access, either. And ISDN is too expensive, and Wireless is a joke.

kelly Molly, PK?

Steve, Telstra simply wont touch it! I used to work for Kaz, and when I mentioned I was with them, they seemed to change their tune! But apparently it's just not possible and they've said "wait 5 years and then talk to us"

Hahahaha 5 years and I'll be out of that place! Or in 5 years, we'd all be running Fibre :P

SLED.. Pings - In this instance it depends on interleaving/error correction placed on he line.

Typically higher speed profiles that push the usable spectrum to the limit employ greater error correction/interleaving as a result pings increase.

An ADSL line profile essentially employs a given interleaving and target SNR.

so what you're saying is that if I log into my provider and up my speed, I'll increase the ping count but make it less stable.

I upped the speed awhile ago but kept dropping out so went back to standard.

I'm on Recommended at the moment and seems pretty stable:

What do the different Profiles Mean?

The following are the semi-technical terms for each of the Performance Profiles:

Conservative

  • Can achieve speeds up to 4 Mbits/sec (~435kB/sec) but designed to sacrifice speed for rock solid connections. Used to support phone lines with poor Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR) and/or long distances from the Exchange.

Resilient

  • Can achieve speeds up to 8 Mbits/sec (~870kB/sec) and builds on the checks used for the Conservative setting. Useful for customers who have consistent dropouts or Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors. Can provide the most stable connection out of all the performance profiles.

Recommended

  • Can achieve speeds up to 8 Mbits/sec (~870kB/sec). Provided as the default configuration for all AdamDirect services. This ensures backwards compatibility for ADSL 1 capable modems. A robust setting that is good for the majority of customers connected to an AdamDirect Service, regardless of distance and minor variances in SNR.

Aggressive

  • Can achieve speeds up to 12 Mbits/sec (~1306kB/sec). This setting provides for high speed connectivity. Suitable for latest generation ADSL2/2+ capable modems. This setting may be useful for short to medium length distances from the Exchange.

Adventurous

  • Can achieve speeds up to 24 Mbits/sec (~2611kB/sec). Full speed capability is available using this profile. Your line quality should be of a high standard with a strong signal strength. We recommend attempting this setting if you have maintained a successful connection using the Aggressive profile for a period of time.

Thrillseeker

  • Can achieve speeds up to 24 Mbits/sec (~2611kB/sec). This is an Adventurous setting with a twist: interleaving is turned off. Interleaving is a process of error control that sends data to your modem in a non contiguous fashion. This tends to provide a more error tolerant connection. Some customers would choose this profile to decrease gaming "ping" times. This profile is not recommended for general use.

so what you're saying is that if I log into my provider and up my speed, I'll increase the ping count but make it less stable.

I upped the speed awhile ago but kept dropping out so went back to standard.

I'm on Recommended at the moment and seems pretty stable:

Typically running a line profile that aims to provide increased 'bandwidth' will target a lower SNR ~6db and increase interleaving that will increase ping/latency.

Depending on the ISP profiles can be configured any way they feel fit.

Typically there's 2 area's to consider. + the technology.. ADSL1 and ADSL2+

Interleaving and SNR target. SNR target determines the speed.

The Interleaving determines the stability/reliability to some extent. As you know increasing interleaving increases ping/latency.

Low SNR with no latency is the ultimate but only if you are close to the exchange, no bridge taps, internal wiring is spot on and no interference.

The Recommended profile appears to be an ADSL1 based profile.

If you experience dropouts with an ADSL2+ profile this is due to interference within the frequency range ADSL2+ uses. ADSL2/2+ uses a greater range of the available frequency to obtain the faster speeds over adsl1.

By you selecting the ADSL1 profile you are not using the frequency that suffers interference as a result your connection is stable.

Not much you can do about it apart from making sure your internal wiring is spot on and a central splitter is fitted.

I've found longer distances you can squeeze a little more out of your connection by locking it down to ADSL2 only mode (not 2+). 2+ doesn't work too well on long lines.

a mate of mine works for a hosting company who have 4 dark fibre links that are load balenced

/dribble

basically 4 x 10Gb fibre links.... on the small portion of bandwith that he is allowed in his department he gets 78000+kb/s

he even is allowed to ave a PC in a rack there that can get 600kb/s with no d/l limit

im jealous

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
