"Premium cable" is the marketing speak for it

http://www.bigpond.com/internet/plans/bund...-bundles-plans/

Not trying to spam etc, but it sure is cool, speeds are not quoted there, but I had not looked before so will have to get it added on the site.

30mbps is "Elite," this sits above that, as you will see from the pricing.... I talk to 30+ people a day about this stuff day in day out.. The figures are right.

I am using the fastest plan on ADSL2+ bigpond can offer at the moment. Honestly, i don't see how good it is. Speeds are pretty average and i'm about 1km from my exchange.

You only get those speeds in canberra or melbourne i forget which it is. You also have to be on a bundle to get those speeds and its setup over the phone or by select telstra stores in the area.

They are soon expanding i think.

I work for Telstra also as a disclaimer.

All over the place due to it being live but this one was the best of three from our web server.

And from work being too far from the exchange for anything good.

Home is shaped atm so that probably wouldn't go too well.

This is the kind of garbage speeds I get on ADSL2 living 3.9km from my exchange.

Several of my mates I play online with who use Telstra cable get really low pings. It becomes a huge disadvantage playing online FPS's, to the point you just cannot compete. They're just took quick on the trigger response over IP.

For driving games, ping doesn't really matter.

As I don't game much these days, I'll take the slower speeds, cheaper prices, better quotas & no upload counters.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
