i know adam has Kris' old pods on, or used to, but facebook has yielded nothing

Yep, I sure do. Having a few intarwebz issues so can't post before / after pics but will do once I get back online.

yeah but gotta work out what's available being a new estate etc...it's just inside the exchange which is around the corner from where I live now, so TPG etc won't guarantee speeds.....It might still be fine, and being ADSL2 even 'slow' would probably be quicker than normal ADSL, but it's not like you can try before you buy..

when you say its around the corner, you mean the exchange?

If so, it'll be fast as f**k if they have ADSL2+ support. dont worry about their promises or whatever as the closer you are, the faster it is. They can't stop that. Although TPG do artificially shape you without warning & reason - and then deny it, so be wary of them.

Although due to the waste of money NBN, most internet companies are not installing decent infrastructure anywhere so you'll probably just be stuck with shitty ADSL.

Ash, I meant my parents house where I live at the moment is around the corner from the exchange. My house is just inside the boundary according to some website thar was linked in the adsl thread a few weeks ago.

Not sure what other options are available to me but need decent speed, adsl minimum, and decent download limit... Splitting the bill with housemates, so might be able to spend a bit more if necessary.

What's better adsl2 or cable?

depends how many people in your area have cable. Cable speed is distributed throughout the network it belongs to, not just to one house. For example with adsl the things that will slow u down are distance from exchange and load on the service at home, say ur housemates and u being on at the same time. With cable, if everyone in ur street has cable, ur never gonna get a good speed from it. Worst part is there's no way of knowing how popular cable is in ur area

thats the age old cable thinking

over subscribed / hub technology / blah blah

the network is pretty well setup these days

i dont reckon cable would ever be over subscribed

ive used optus @home and bigpond cable and all times

it was consistent line rate non-stop regardless

the only time it was slow back when optus @home would cap you for reaching your quota

adsl as others have said

varying line rate and speed and throughput

dropouts and very suseptable to line conditions

coax cable is very mature, stable and static

and when adsl does barf you get that age old chestnut

oh its the line, oh its your exhange, oh its your filter blah blah

cable if it barfs, you ring bigpond or optus and say fix and they do it

Are they rolling out cable still? I thought all of that sort of infrastructure spending had pretty much stopped, especially with everyone waiting to see what happens with the NBN

Not these days, and basically why would neighbors get adsl if they can get cable? All the neighbors that I know have cable atm and I don't seem jibbed with speeds at all - in fact I see speeds of around 35mbps often (30mbps plan)

and yeh, I'd still like to see fiber but seriously doubt its happening anytime soon here, well it may in the direct city but for a country our size? lol good luck with that.

    • 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.
