Who Has ASDL


Recommended Posts

I have netspace... and it works well for me with no reliability problems.

512kbps/128kbps - 7gig peak+7 gig offpeak (downloads only). That plan is $100/month.

If you want the 6gig flat (still just counts downloads) $70/month, plus $99 connection charge

so the $70 per month plan is still at 512kbps? whats the fastest u have been able to download at? also did u buy your own modem or did it come with the package?

i had my own modem from when ADSL first became available in the country... its a speedtouch home. I've been on Telstra and netspace, and i'd never ever go back to Telstra.

Yes, the $70 plan is still 512kbps... $239 for 12month contract covers the connection+USB modem....or $50 if you buy a modem separately.

Anyway mate, full details here: http://home.netspace.net.au/adsl/plans.php

Fastest i guess is 55k/sec.. Depends where or what i am downloading from...but gues i get above 40k/sec most times.

denham: you're an engineer.. do the maths! you're not going to get above 55k/sec .. 512kbps = 64,000k/sec + all associated packet overheads = about 56-58k/sec MAX in an ideal world. If you want faster, pay more for a 1.5mbps plan. Email you'll get faster than that because its text and it compresses it (except for movie and zip files, etc).

andy: its not heaps faster, just more reliable and you get more value for money to what Telstra offers. I'd definitely change to another provider if you have the chance. Telstra doesn't deserve any business due to their business practices IMHO. They've outsourced a lot of their IT, call centres and things overseas these days.. and prolly accounting soon :D

I've been both on TElstra ADSL, and Telstra Cable... and the best so far has been my current Netspace connection (which i've had for 12 months)

So ADSL then ???

I'm going to finally get net at home in the next 2 months... so i need to know.

$239 connection fee? i Spose it's worth it ??

I'm thinking of the base 512 plan looking at that.

As if i'm gonna D/L 6 gb!!!

I don't do movies, just need good speed.

Gord... When it has 512/128 is that peak/off peak ? (even if you choose the flat 512 plan)

sorry for all the questions. I've got no ideas but i must have a fast connection.

I reckon ADSL is the go. Cable they've stopped rolling out to areas, and doesn't offer anything that ADSL does.

There are cheaper plans and speeds than that if you want them. Netspace has the entry level 256kbps plan with 1gig for $50/month. You might be suprised how quickly you do once you get used to it though. Recently i've been downloading the animatrix clips - they have been 150meg each.

Sounds like i'm working for netspace now (maybe i should :D) - but peak is 7am to 12am monday to friday.. weekends and other times is offpeak.

There are plenty of other providers that people also use ...even i-PumpAss or something (hehe). Like Leon.T was saying www.whirlpool.com.au has lots of information.

p.s. you can write parts of it off if you use it for business use too.

I've been using Internode 512/128k (54k/s download, 13k/s upload) for 1 year now and its fantastic, wouldnt switch to anyone for anything.

No point with cable anymore unless your cable provider has unmetered goodies.

A typical page will fully load before my 512k connection even gets a chance to max out the connection (unless its got lots of images). Most pages only get up to around 30k/s by the time they are completely loaded so having a ~8mbit cable connection is kinda wasting things alittle (for general use).

Originally I was on the 4.5gb plan, a month later that was upgraded to the 8gb plan and about 4mths ago they released the new FlatRate plans (miles better then any "unlimited" plan).

1 thing no 1 has mentioned are the contention ratios.

General Dialup = 10:1 (10 user accounts per 1 user account of bandwidth).

Comindico Resellers = 30:1

Datafast = 30:1

Internode FlatRate = 8:1

So obviously the lower the contention ratio the higher chance you have of getting full speed 24/7.

Another thing you may want to look at are the additional services offered. Things like unmetered games servers, unmetered download mirrors, etc etc.

Still though my professional decision would be the 512/128k FlatRate plan for $99.95/mth.

    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
    • I don't know the answer to this, but did you have a look at the parts diagrams on amayama.com and see what they list around it for your car? As an example this should be it on my car. That's how I would check for required clips and things like that. But, I take no responsibility for you ending up with a box full of random OEM hoses, washers and clips after going down that path a few times. This definitely has never happened to me
