Yes that's pretty shit, Optus should be able to provide you 30mbps down 1 mbps up pretty easily - worth a phone call 

30 down 1 up is considered 'standard' cable speed and 100 down 2 up is considered 'ultiamte' cable speed which you'll need to pay extra for but still possible on cable. 

For reference my Telstra cable gets about 30-35 down and 1 up 

Leeroy has a special situation where he has reasons for the shitty-er cable speed I'm sure :D 

Edit: Basically what Simon said

Well I have one of those Motorola Surfboard modems they supplied us with 6+ years ago, but they refuse to even chip in money to upgrade it now even though the service is not what we're paying for. They want $200+ for the modem plus an installation fee to upgrade. This was after two phone calls and a bit of a raised voice.

ISP's can't just be gifting out modems with no cause. Either sign up to a new contract (which may only be applicable to new customers) or there is a connection/speed fault caused by the modem.



Well they can because phone companies give rewards based on staying with the company for a period of time, usually by waving different costs or adding in extra value to their existing plans.

put some more pressure on them, ive got a spare telstra modem you could have which is better than that but you're with optus. 

call around for a better deal and make em do better themselves or leave. mate you'll get easily better speeds elsewhere and prob more data with new modem too.

Only reason why we haven't looked elsewhere is because it's bundled with Foxtel and I believe phone line

Problem with modems is that they have to buy them from suppliers & they need to link them back to the reason for supplying them onto you. If there isn't a valid reason, be it a new contract deal or a fault replacement, the operator on the phone can't do much.

meh any of them can do that, and can port phone numbers across if you need it.

just call optus and tell them your speed is shit and not 30mbps and to fix your shit

So they stand to lose 3 times as much shit if you leave...........

No one is going to cancel their internet contract because they want a new modem.

A new modem serves no purpose if there is no fault with the old. Hence why they will only replace if there is a fault.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
