Internet In Narre Warren

atleast i am hung more than 2 inches

plus wireless is shite... borrowed a mates "state of the art" Netgear + D-Link setup and the speeds I was getting are abysmal. We hooked the xbox up to the PC and it took 2 hours to transfer a 500mb divx from my room to the room next door.

Wireless are for yuppies and ppl that wanna look like they know the shiznitz of technology atm, if you want a decent fast connection you can't go past a 10/100 ethernet cable connection.

Microwave satellites on rooftops is another thing tho, oldschool and very effective high speed WAN.

I went with the dart 2000 and the 504 dlink hub.

I aint that big of a nerd

you're an engineer, course you are

haha... looks like funky don't know how to setup things properly. Anyhow, its better to STREAM it anyhow.. works fine.. we had it working sweetly at my old house..

[funkymonkey]

yes i'd love to be able to stream via wireless from my house while my xbox is in the car about 60km's away.

Besides xboxes have a 10mbps network car din em so there's a bottleneck there anyways.

Wireless's overdone CRC redundancy checks, security protocols etc all tax the transfer rate. I'd wait a year before I invest in a proper wireless infrastructure... in the meantime I'll just use company equipment (which I have to test anyways).

Oh and yes, I'm working with Foxtel's new interactive cable programme, which also employs wireless to interact with PC's so we gotta mess about with a fair few wireless devices and protocols.

Anyways, back on topic... denham can you leech sum shite for me?

[Guest INASNT]

Leech what??

Its gonna be alot slower than my current optus cable coz download video files etc most time i can get around 200k/sec.

Initial cost of asdl is alot more expensive than cable to. Its gonna cost me around $430, Modem $205, setup fee $143 and first months fee $79. Optus cable was only $99 install/setup fee and free modem.

Funky how much u recon i can sell my cornerstone cm200 cable modem for??

[funkymonkey]

i dunno cable modems have bugger all resale value...

but you can leech coz dart has unlimited downloads instead of optus's 3gig limit

[Guest INASNT]

how do u get such fast speeds through the phone with asdl??

[funkymonkey]

high frequency sound modulation, the higher the frequency the faster it moves (same as light and other waves). regular dial up modems modulate the audible sound range because up until recently that's all the exchanges could handle. If an exchange is upgraded to ADSL it can also handle higher frequencies.

[zandi2000]

i live in narre, and have had adsl for over a year now. its awesome...

[Mr. Oizo]

my wireless always craps out on me..

im not sure if its the intel in my laptop, or the belkin card in my desktop, but im pretty sure its the belkin..

it really annoys me.. coz i cant download big files without using a downlaod program..

[Guest INASNT]

Will the speed of my connection vary if use a double adapter from a phone wall connection in one room and then run a 15m extention wire to my room for the connection as there is no other line i can use in the upstairs of my house?

[makaveli]

i doubt it... but if you get slow speeds then try it without the extension. Another option ( if its a ethernet modem, is two run the 15m in cat5 instead of phoneline. )
