INASNT I live in Berwick and have IINET ADSL 512kbit, 20gig per month for $79.95 per month (not bad at all, good pings as well)

My mate lives in Narre Warren Sth and has Internode 1500mbit unlimited and swears by it, he used to work for Connect in melbourne and knows his sh%t, Senior Tech. He reckons the network is heaps better as well.

A few estates around this area have Optarse cable but not many

optarse is ghey... internode's alright but dart is the bomb.

That house looks exactly like one that my mate lives in (down tot he bar n billiards table) in Dingley Village. I'm guessing it was a predesigned style or sumfin?

anything except an NB1300 or NB1200, stick to D-Link for most things like filters etc, or if you can get your hands on an ASUS hub/modem.

At 512 you won't notice any difference in the equipment you use, only if you start goin to higher speeds. (I've got 512 and tried about 4 different modems with and without routers)

Stick with D-Link, good price for a decent enough product. Something like a DSL-504 $254.17 (if you've got multiple computers) or a DSL-200 $132.09 for a single connection. Check www.instantit.com.au.

Any type of filter is fine, as long as it's for ADSL. InstantIT is quoting $14.00 for a filter, I'm sure I got them cheaper than that...

I'll have to put in a plug for Internode as well... They've got great service, excellent network speed/pings albeit for a couple of dollars extra than the cheapest of providers (you do get what you pay for in the broadband arena). There must be an echo in here (Whirlpool is your friend!) - they just completed their survey too which gives a pretty good breakdown of the current broadband scene.

not necessarily some larger ISP have boxes at exchanges in metro areas and use this. There's even an ISP in rural adelaide offering ADSL where testra don't by setting up secondhand US boxes (since the US has a shiteload of ADSL and is years ahead of us)

... most of the problems with telstra are their ****ed up authentication and mail servers. While most resell the Telstra bottom layer, there are quite a few out there that have their own servers. THOSE are the ISP you wanna go for. I had ADSL on telstra for like a year and it was constantly ****ed up, couldn't log in, servers were down, ****ing rubbish. THEN after that I switched to Netspace.. not a problem, 10 times better.. and when i switched to my router setup permanently connected it had like an up-time of 3 months! 3 months ON permannetly conneted. Telstra could never match that with their servers.

It depends whether the ISP is a layer2 provider or whatever, most still use the bandwidth of Telstra, but the rest of the system is their own..

anyhow...www.whirlpool.net.au - u can learn everything u ever want to know there..

With the "self install" yeah.. it's a doddle to install. .plug modem into filter and then phone line, run the install cd, enter account details and done

If you want to get fancy and have laptops or whatever, you might be best off buying a wireless router or wirelesss router/dsl modem of your own - that way you can just wireless throughout the house to get on the net.

yeah, but imagine being able to beam stuff straight from your PC to your xbox and through your stereo to stream mp3, wma tracks, downloaded movies and whatever else on demand 3 rooms away :) Putting a CD phsyically into a CD player is so passe' man :)

You don't want messy cables running around :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
