its dropping out / crap because your 4km from the exchange.

Anything after 2.5km is going to be crap. Telstra wont even sell DSL to a business if there further than 2.5km.

Its only because your a home user they let you have DSL, they know it will be crap, but if the 2.5km limit was in place for residential users only 1/2 the people would be allowed to get dsl.

hmm, may have to look into that. It all just worked on cable.

is there an adsl setting for "Do not dropout and require a modem reboot"?

You need a good ratio for ultimate speeds... :mad:

For those legal content, invite-only sites i use they do at least... lol

I like my 1.4MB/sec+ with approved/sanctioned content

just lie about how much legal content you're really sharing, not hard to dupe a tracker. I upload at 1kbps, my tracker thinks I'm uploading anywhere between 100kbps and 3kbps randomly at any moment (no fixed multiplier + constant seeder status = baller VIP legal content status). To offset this I make it stop seeding after I've really uploaded 1% of the legal content I just downloaded. That way my ratio of download to upload is always around a normal amount that any noob would achieve, hence not triggering any alarms in the logs.

Ali - be very careful with Naked - often your UPLOADS count to your monthly quota, so if you are using it to download legal movies from paying sites... and you are sharing those back... then you will get stung double.

EG:

Naked. 4gig down and 4 gig up = 8gig total quota used

Normal. 4gig down and 4gig up = 4gig total quota used

So you need to double your monthly quota if you intend to use the connection a lot

A lot of people dont fully read what they are getting into. IMO if your getting a 40GIG+ plan, you're getting it to download/upload so Naked is a joke.

Also Ali, the iinet website will tell you when ADSL2+ is coming to your area... but ye, if they are full of connections @ your exhange not a lot you can do other than wait for someone to disconnect as each exchange has a limited amount of ports and some ISP's do not have any equip in the exhange meaning you cant go with them until the 'roll out'.

ADSL2+ is taking a while to roll out to the outer burbs when you consider i've had it inner suburban for 4+ years now. That really is a VERY poor rollout time, but then it is based on demand as infrastructure @ the exchanges, of which inner burbs have a lot more than outer in many instances

Thanks for all that Ash! Appreciate it. I'll let you guys know how I go. :P

  • 1 month later...

I reckon i will be going with iinet soon.

My girlfriend's dad got the optus fusion plan before i came over, 20gb is just not enough, and for $99, even with a land line, its not good enough.

But there is over $400 in termination fees to pay, and they are even taking the modem back. I wonder why. If they didn't take the modem back, i wouldn't have felt so sore.

apologies for the hijack but i'm on the old optus cable plan of 12g peak 24 offpeak for $67. I see all these new 50-80gig adsl. is there anything that's a better bundle going around then what I'm on so far in terms of reliability and speed? all the current cable plans just don't seem to be any better.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
