So are you guys with IINET? They're coming over today to hook up naked ADSL2 at my place. I've heard a lot of good things about them from friends who use their services/products.

I've also gone for the BoB renatl ($10 a month) with unlimited VoIP. Is there anywat to find out where the nearest exchange is (and potential performance)? I live in Strathfield NSW.

Thought I will post my results. My connection is Bigpond Cable and my plan is the Cable Elite Liberty. It has been an extremely reliable internet service for me. I’ve had no more than 3 dropouts in 6 or so years. Only complaints are the price, upload speed, download quota and the metering of uploads but I can live with those.

Here they are again lol

It's certainly a bit slower than it used to be... Haven't had time to investigate before i go O/S so will do it when i get home.

It was 100% 1.8Mb/s download for about 6 months and lately my max is 1.4Mb/s

I sync up @ 1.5 (from the router), ised to be around 1.8... so it's any number of things and given the cabling in this building is questionable overall im not surprised.

Even though it's only 5 years old as well :)

Oh actually now i think about it i am set to "gamer" on iinets ADSL2+ connection manager which does not offer the best speed - just the best latency.

If i changed it over to the fastest speed connection ADSL2+ that might actually improve it...

Will look at it all in 3-4 weeks anyway :)

I remember reading from some website that says the brand of the modem doesn't really affect your internet speeds. How much does it actually matter?

Oh, i just found out i'm about 1.152km from my exchange which is at Lonsdale and Queens Street :)

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
