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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
