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.

Thank f**k someone knows the difference in abbreviations

Felt like I was taking crazy pills

I mean what the shit is this Patrick

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

Getting stooged on your upload maybe? Mine is 1.15mbps on ADSL2, but only 12.5mbps download

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
