so ISP is internode. happily had 10Mbps download speeds when in clayton. hit 1.1meg a second with steam

have moved to rowville, my plan was not available so had to switch to a different one. have had nothing faster than 430kbps download. router says 4.3Mbps constant. doesnt change with peak load.

before contacting ISP support i plugged router to port in a different room (only 2 in the house) and speed jumped to 7.1Mbps and downloading 720kbps with steam.

house has an old foxtel connection from the street which isnt in use and no home phone. is there anything i can do to get faster? why would the other port be so much slower?

Can be crappy wiring in the house... ring topology on the internal wiring etc... Should always plug in ADSL2+ Modems to the First point in the house, and make sure that the other points are wired in a manner which works well with ADSL (aka. Not how a lot of Phone Wiring was done by people 20 years ago)

Distance from exchange, estimated cable length and estimated speed when doing an address lookup on www.adsl2exchanges.com.au ?

not sure if i should buy a brand new house on a matchbox sized block, or a crappy house on a big block in thomo, and work on that.

under 1500m as the crow flies. dunno about cable...

Should be getting decent speeds at that sort of distance, the copper cabling in Wantirna isn't toooo broken down compared to other areas.

Big block

Land appreciates, houses depreciate

theres a nice big 700ish sqm block on the shit side of high st, but that sides slowly getting better.

Jetski

obviously

need a VF GTS Maloo first

I will be mad jelly of lion statues

you can come help me put them up brah.

also found a decent block in mernda, a little bit past epping.

about 630sqm. alex where you at?

Meanwhile Telstra still bullshitting me about getting me swapped over to an ADSL2 port in the Boronia exchange that I know they don't have.

Actually told me on the phone that I might have to wait for another customer in Boronia to die / disconnect from their ADSL2 service, in order to free up a port for me. I said what is this, the MCC? Still can't give me an eta for when a technician will get out there and solve it.

My prediction: after weeks and weeks they will eventually get a technician out there to report back (and not tell me, I'm sure I'll have to call) that they don't actually have ADSL2 ports, only Spintel and some other mob do, and bad luck for me...aka something I was able to establish from a quick google.

Get my brother to go in the exchange and plug you in brah. lol

Get my brother to go in the exchange and plug you in brah. lol

I would love nothing more than for your brother to put my plug in his port

Is he available tonight?

yeah but if there was a 3-4gbps loss just in the plug choice... it could be f**king anything just on the property.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
