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.

and for some good reason i can still go over10 gig and im not even close to red line.

could be because mycomputer had prob's when they tryed to network them.

and i still get my share of over 600K a sec downloads

die bitch die

lol i remember optus

i still got screenies of me downloading at 1000kb/sec

but now back on dial up

cos im not paying for internet with caps!

what about tpg, they have unlimited broadband for onli 70 bucks i heard

but i think its a 256k connectoin

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
