Stab everyone else that uses your cable = faster speeds :thumbsup:

+1

This has been my approach to quick internet speeds. Surprisingly, each less person makes a considerably faster increase.

You cannot increase upload unless you pay for it.

That means getting a business account and paying 300-500% more per month than your current bill. You need an ABN, etc etc

ADSL2+ works in the same way with Annex-M, but its cheaper and should only cost about $50 with someone like iinet.

Im going to upgrade myself to Annex-M when my internet finally gets reconnected etc.

I have an ABN so all good. Then its just the one off setup cost, plans are similar.

HOWEVER - given you are cable, its sheerly optus and subscription level. There is NO way to improve your residential connection.

That upload speed should be MORE than enough for online gaming. It's predominately latency related, not upload speed.

The two are very different.

As Ash said, your online play is affected by your latency/ping.

Might be the area you're in. I use Optus cable $79 plan (with homephone combo) and I get 7ms latency on games such as CSS and usually have an awesome connection on the PSN too.

The upload speed isn't too bad either. I'll be on torrents as well as play online and have no problems.

Actually, did you setup up your xbox internet connection manually or automatically. If auto, then your xbox will be using a dynamic address and this will affect speeds (and ping) if other people in your house are also using the net.

Set it up manually and give your xbox a static address outside the dynamic address limit (google/youtube for instructions). It's very, very easy to do.

This should fix up the problems you're copping whilst playing online.

Google is your friend (or youtube in this case). There are heaps of guides to setting it up.

The same thing applies even if your router is different.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
