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

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
