Only issue with Cable 100mb connections are the upload speeds being so low.

2mbps upload speeds feel crippling once you've experienced 10 or 40 or 100mbps upload speeds.

Also, contention during peak times means you can rarely achieve the throughout you're paying for, unless you're online at 3am. This is an issue on nearly every residential grade connection since people realised that you can watch tv over the internets (netflix etc)

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I pay a bit for mine ($93 a month) but it's decent enough.. 30mbps/1mbps 200gb cable with telstra.. plenty for just me.

Got mates at Berwick as well that can only get ADSL.. also mrs at Lynbrook can only get ADSL2

Think our 500GB Bigpond Cable Ultimate (100mbps/2mbps) is $79.95/month (when bundled with a $40 mobile and $40 home phone)

More than enough for everything I do... I checked the other day, I'd not downloaded a single torrent in over a month... just been watching Netflix and Youtube...

Will go back to torrenting for a bit now that some shows have just started back up again that aren't on Netflix Australia :)

I get like 17mbps is that any good?

Yeah that'll be ADSL2+, the maximum acheivable speed (depends on line quality / distance to the phone exchange) is 24mbps... 17 is about 500m-1km from the telephone exchange and should be stock solid stable. Can't complain with that...

Yeah I've got no need for foxtel/home phone/mobile so no bundle for me.

I'm the same, I just stream everything from Kodi (better than netflix imo because way more content, free etc.)

Only reason we still have foxtel is because it's got AFL... and of course if you want the good sports channels (and pretty much nothing else) it still costs nearly $100/month for Foxtel via Telstra.... Think it's cheaper if you bill from foxtel directly...

I use dads foxtel go account (which gets all but footy channel) but my solution to no footy channel is afl live subscription i scored for free ;) run that on my tablet and mirror to my tv = all foxtel channels free!

I've noticed that. Uploading to YouTube is a pain. And trying to stream anything other than netflix or download large files is shithouse during peak times.

I usually just download bulk series and movies and then watch them when I get time. Netflix is unmetered on Optus apparently and I have no issues with it. Except no surround sound.

I remember when downloading tv shows and movies made you a geek lol

Dem IRC days

Yes and now grandparents downloading torrents and swapping portable hard drives wtf

I remember having a pocket PC (windows ce ftw) in year 7 and copping never ending shit for it - these days you'd get bagged if you didn't have a more capable smart phone lol

me either. but then 20 hours a week of games is pretty normal for me.

Yeah I suppose I play a bit of games - used to be up around 15-20 a week, but these days more like 5

At least games are interactive and reflex stimulating, though - used to cop shit from parents for playing them all the time meanwhile they sit there immobile and passive in front of a TV for hours every night lol

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
