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.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
