well its taken a month, a bunch of headaches and more questions than answers, but my telstra cable is finally setup.

comparison:

Is it worth the trouble and an extra $10 a month? if it can maintain over 10mb/s 24/7 then yes.

The provided modem/router is pretty useless... wont tell you speeds or chart usage or even let you change login username (wtf, stuck on admin forever). Now just to figure out if I can use my Fritzbox for Wifi only...

I wonder what the IT section at Telstra is like....

Would it be filled with ex-public servants who just dont give a fark and do nothing all day.

Or would it be generally younger IT personnel who just dont give a fark and do nothing all day.

Or would it be a small team of extremely over-worked individuals that are constantly putting out fires and trying to resolve the countless issues that arise? 

 

 

What Department?

This image is showing 13Mbps, not 13MBps...

8 Megabit = 1 MegaByte

The plan you are on is a 30Mbps plan and you're achieving 13Mbps.

Either there is a problem with your connection or there's congestion in your area at the time of testing... Try again later and see if it hits the full speed.

This is what a 30Mbps plan should look like:

100Mbps plan should cap out at about 115... Either way you're not likely to see the difference in the two speeds unless you download a lot of big files (not talking about torrents), or need additional upload speed (the 100Mbps plan caps out at ~2.4Mbps up instead of ~1.2)

So is this shit? Never been impressed by our internet speeds and we have had this Optus Cable for the last 6+ years.

Steam displays speeds in MBps... 2.9Mbps x 8 = 23.2Mbps = edging closer towards your 35'ish maximum.

Try http://speedof.me/ and see what result that spits out... I find its a bit more accurate, and doesn't require flash either.

Also when testing, make sure nothing else on your network is download anything... and don't be on wireless if you want an accurate result.

12.5mb/s is 100mbps - that's a good speed. Can't get faster on cable.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
