Firefox 3 on main com

with that plugin that allows you to rip videos off you tube :P

IE7 on my laptop, couldn't be bothered to change.

+1 for the SAU cod4 clan thing.

all this comp talk and only 2 ppl play COD4 ?

surely more play. Im not a keen gamer and I still play COD4 religiously

gahhhh you guys suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I am stuck in pov ADSL1+ hell as I live in a suburb in which the whole darn suburb runs off a rim. I am with Adam, and have so-called ADSL1+ up to 8Mb/s interwebs .... bleh 8Mb/s my ass - the most I have ever seen in 4.5Mb/s, and often believe it or not, it goes down as slow as 300kb/s. Before I had normal ADSL1 1.5Mb/s and it was always 1.5Mb/s. Now with ADSL1+ I frequently don't even get that :D

As your on a resold telstra port - If speeds drop to 300kb/s thats Helstra capping the speeds as they do not have enough backhaul from the exchange.

Often what occurs is they cap speeds due to congestion and then book an upgrade 2-3months in advance. BUT.. Sometimes the customers are not that lucky and they are stuck with 300kb/s.

Usually those on a rim experience these issues.

I'd be interested if Telstra also cap their own customers at the same exchange. I know they sure as hell cap their wholesale customers. :(

haha how long have Internode, iiNet, TPG Internet, OptusNet, Exetel, Westnet, aaNet, Netspace, Adam Internet, AAPT, Amnet, iPrimus, Virgin Broadband, Comcen Internet, People Telecom, 3, Spin Internet, Dodo, Vodafone all be purchasing phone lines must be going on 20 odd years would of thought a few of them could of pooled resources and made there own lines by now (this may be me being narrow minded) im just sick of aforementioned compaines crying when my company tried to give me a good deal all the others whinge saying now its unfair

I'm with Adam as well Andrew with this result........big difference in Ping speed, what's that all about?

ping is relative to your distance from the exchange and how many hops you pass through to get to the desired server and back (that is a brief of ping)

I am only 1km away, but with cable length it is probably 2km :)

I see too that the brand new part of Northgate - 'Lightsview' - is advertising super high speed broadband - fibre to node! And here we are right next door running off a rim. I have even tried to bribe Tel$uck people to let me pay for copper to be run to my house from Oakden (under 300m and they have ADSL2+), but to no avail :P

Yeah you might be right with the capping thing Joel - but fact is my DSL can very between 1Mb/s and 4Mb/s several times in the same day. The 300kb/s was just once.

Its super expensive and not feasible for a small group of customers that pay $39.95 per month for their adsl and call twice a month because their wireless has dropped out or their crap norton/mcafee antivirus has begun preventing them from sending emails.

1. The copper network/backhaul was rolled out via tax payers money. Telstra 'and' the copper network was then sold off at a price that was simply too cheap. Overseas similar has occurred eventually the government has purchased back the copper network.

Telstra is anticompetitive but hell any company with a monopoly would do the same.

Its huge bucks to lay fibre optic to an exchange for what.. a small group of customers that pay bugger all per month.

However there is another company that layed fibre optic to 'some' exchanges when supplying power around the place. :)

They charge a reasonable price which has allowed those 'aforementioned' companies to offer ADSL2+ to customers.

Delivering ADSL2+ via telstra's backhaul is not feasible; they charge through the nose.

2. Then there's the so RIM's they were rolled out simply for cost reasons of which prevents ADSL2+ being delivered via a rivals DSLAM. As a result the customer is stuck on a Telstra's ADSL1 port.

..

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.

Yeah Joel i under stand its not just as easy as buying some copper/ fibre and digging a hole

i also think that the government shouldn't of sold telstra complete they should of seperated the lines from the rest of it then every one would have to pay for line rental and it would be a true level playing field

im in 2 minds about telstra being sold...

its better off being either private or government, not a bit of both... you cant be 1/2 pregnant :)

in relation to you all that are pretty far away from the exchange, have a look into internodes naked extreme.... they have stripped the dial tone off the line, and therefore have reduced latency and increased the distance that an adsl signal can be received from the exchange from approx 5 km to over 7 km. if you are happy using a VoIP service this could be a good means to get better intarwebs

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
