From what i remember TPG is a shit product and shit service. The only good thing about it is that its cheap.

I dont have my internet with any major provider, i use AANET 8MB connection 50gb per month... have not had any issues with them at all and most importantly it has customer support which is local :)

TPG rate pretty highly on that list. I reckon I would call customer service once a year, so customer service quality is less important, although I would probably be the first to get annoyed at shit service when I am actually on the phone to them.

Who knows ey? We are still living in the dark ages in this country when it comes to internet servic and they want to further damage it by implementing this travesty of compulsory filtering. What a joke.

take a good read on tpg own forum.. if you are having bad luck like me, u gonna restart your modem every 1-10 hours as you will lose connection/drop. I have changed 3 modems, even using TPG recommended ones.. Worst experience is losing connection in 4x minutes, and i have to face this issue every day (EVERYDAY 365 days!!!!!!!)..

VERY USUAL and most of the people who face this kind of issue, will not be able to fix no matter wat.. ALTHOU the tpg will try to help u out by isolation and stuff (which i done it for xx times, and still i m facing the face issue)

I m using their broadband internet(200gb, $79) and mobile ($49 cap, only paying $9.99). When the contract ends, i will throw it away!

also, PLEASE check how far are you from the service point(forgot wat it is called), u can check at their website too. The further u are, the slower your internet speed(100%) and more chances of having my issue (60%??)

I had a similar issue - found out the actual problem was related to the telephone line - thre was some sort of line issue - not the Internet provider. You may need to see Telstra (or who ever provides your phone line).

I spent the first 3-4months of my ADSL connection troubleshooting line problems with TPG/Telstra, Telstra eventually came by and found the issue was with the old line to the house and replaced it (even though there system couldn't detect it remotely).

TPG's customer service is pretty bad, prices are good. And service is pretty good these days, downtime is rare (unlike 4 years ago where it was common to be down for significant amounts of time)

I use Bigpond Extreeme 30Mb/s plan. Nothing like downlaoding all your torrents in 15min while doing 10 at a time.

I also only use Telstra NextG as every other network is shit in comparision for coverage.

Thanks must go to work for paying for all of this.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
