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

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
