Congestion just means they don't have enough backhaul to provide the service... Modem means there's a fault and they can't provide the promised service.

Either way, you're not getting what you paid for, but it's Telstra... They used to have the monopoly on comms infrastructure... but with NBN ramping up thats going to change soon. So good luck getting them to spend money to maintain their soon to be unprofitable network.

Yup and with the abandonment of Optus cable infrastructure, you will need to wait for Nbn's fibre to the curb.

However I believe Telstra cable infrastructure will be upgraded to Nbn's hybrid fibre coax

For those that don't have me on FB but want to know what Supermoto is all about made a video of the track day over the weekend :)

Basically a dirt bike with slicks or road tyres on a dirt / road track, so riding on the dirt is sketchy af and can't use any front brake.

Had to get puncture sorted out today, the guys that swapped tyres onto my new rims pulled out a screw that I had on a tyre, it filled it up and left it saying she'll be right, nek day take it back to get plugged.. zzz 

I would of thought if I could tell something was wrong, they would be able to tell but eh.

88e going back down again eh 

things are a bit shakey in the states, with the election and wall street scares. Couple that with british pound still on the fall, oil price retrace because some people think this OPEC agreement will achieve nothing. The other thing (which may or may not be true) is the upcoming announcement potential dates are a bit vague so people looking to jump on the bandwagon may not wanna tie up their money for potentially weeks. 88e team mentioned theyre more interested in stabilising share price than playing a game of hype and peaks/troughs.

and then theres hotcopper... where everyone is circle-jerking each other and putting themselves through financial hardship to fund "the greatest investment opportunity in all existence" while being firm that all patience pays off (regardless of how long that takes).

Yeah aussie internet really sucks dick.
Even in the middle of buttf**k nowhere when I was in Vietnam on guest wifi was getting 50mbps up / 50mbps down

Except that Australia is 23x bigger than Vietnam with 93million people vs our 20mill.
My 24 month NBN contract is about to run out. All this talk of shitty internet just reminded me I have to shop around.

All internet providers use the same cabling/infrastructure if you are in a NBN zone.

Think of isps as owning a lane on a freeway. Although a multi-lane freeway has been built, if dodo has only paid for 1-lane it will get congested at peak-hour. Whilst Telstra could have 3 lanes to itself.

So internet in Melbourne or Sydney has to be shit? I get that in the outback but doesnt need to be shit in the capitals, NBN just slow af to come

Take that argument up with your isp. Technology exists for gigabit speeds & the backhaul is built for it. Supply & demand - and the isp's have lost a chunk of their profit since they don't own the network anymore

True, best most of our customers have is like a telstra 50/50 or 100/100 which cost em an arm and a leg

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
