Agreed, Cable's plans are horrid and upload SUCKS! I like my near 100kb/s upload speed. :blush:

If my plan was to rise by more than $5 Adam Internet was my next choice.

Still might yet as I have a couple of mates on the same exchange 'communitynet ftw'.

Definitely.. Counting uploads is just arse.

All depends on what you use it for Madaz.. 10gb's shared upload and download definitely isn't much for those with relly's overseas.

In the past I've found I've required the ~15gb for streaming lectures from Uni not to mention remote logins via Xwin32 when programming or working in sql/webservers etc etc.

All becomes fairly bandwidth hungry.

For general usage.. My oldies without 'pirating' scrape in at 8gb per month.

Now they are forced to pay a little more :blush:

They receive and send a hell of a lot of emails with video's attached, msn webcam overseas etc.

For them 10gb with shared upload and download as telstra uses is simply not suitable.

i got telstra cable.....60 bux a month unlimited downloads, speed seems fine. dad and i use at least 10 gig per month between us, plus we split costs anyway. never really had any issues with them either. tech support people are good too

Serity1,

Telstra used to call it unlimited, there was quite a stink about it as it wasn't really unlimited so the term unlimited has been dropped.

The plan you are on is capped over 12gb. Speeds drop to 6.4kb/s.

The bugger is as mentioned earlier in the thread they count uploads towards this 12gb of data block.

But for the majority of users this isn't a problem.

Their upstream bandwidth is ~128kb's for the plan you are on.

Until you try the adsl2 upstream speeds you really don't know what your missing. The faster upstream makes everything work just that little bit quicker. Especially when downloading and doing multiple things at once.

yeah i love the ADSL2, there is no way in hell i'm ever going back to anything with slower uploads and down loads. For work i can use over 20Gb a month downloading all the software, 3dmax, latest photoshop, illustrator ect (company account FTW :thumbsup:)as well as uploading and downloading all the files ect and VOIP for 4-6 hours a night really starts to add up.

still haven't got into any torrent programs. i tried one and it wouldn't work so i gave up.

and i don't get time to play games :thumbsup: every now and again i will have a race of GTR2 or RF but thats about all these days.

still waiting for this elusive SAU LAN that has been bought up a few times but never got passed talking about peoples houses and what they can fit in

    • 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 馃ぃ, 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.
