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)

feeling this having uploaded 11 gig yesterday

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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
