hey guys, ewan ed etc....

im finally getting broadband *hushed awe* im getting optusnet. basically my dad is with optus with everything else so we get free installation.

however he's not forking out the extra $30 per month for unlimited downloads. now im lead to beleive that this will be sh*t because i'll reach my d/l limit in about a day? :spew:

so whats the story, how bad will it be? cause theres pretty much no way he's going to pay for unlimited.

Andrew.

hahaha

heres a tip... why dont you fork out the extra $30 and PRESTO!!!! unlimited downloads... here we come!

but on a serious note... depends on how much you use the net ... but i would just pay that 30 bucks then you have no worries... wats your limit now??

200mb? if it is then it will go in a day or so... for me anyway.... but if you dont d/l too much you can always check your usage metre... and you should be able to upgrade your plan anytime aswell...

Veilside R33 i am in the exact same problem, 200mb per month is not fun. I could spend the extra $30 for unlimited downloads but i prefer to save up for something better in the future.

Let your dad use the internet during the 28.8kbps cap, tell him about the cheap international calls he could make with VOIP, the webcam convos he could do with friends/family overseas? and the wide range of international web radios he could listen to. All these use up a lot of bandwidth and if you get him hooked on any one of them, say hello to unlimited cable :P

If he still disagrees get unlimited cable. I have already used up 5mb in 30minutes by talking on MSN and viewing this forum.

A good program to monitor your optus usage is located here: http://optus.larcos.com.au

Try the 200mb limit for one month and if your not happy just upgrade.

i pay $55 a month for 512/128kbps ADSL with unlimited download, no AUP and no rolling download limit thingies. I get throttled to 128kbps download during business hours (8am to 6pm, weekdays) but I'm never at home at that time, so I don't really care, besides, my leeching keeps goin at 128 and come 6 o clock goes back to 512. Its awesome... thru Pacific internet which has had virtually no downtime and the quickest support line of any ISP i've been or worked at :P

4 gig was for Juiced on Xbox, 3.5 gig for spiderman season 1 (original cartoon) andother 3.5gig for season 2. Pron was about 8 gig (2 dvd's) the rest was music, Top gear, Monster Garage, Initial D and other anime and other assorted videos.

i see, so it appears im about to get fisted royally, i do use the net a bit, prolly 3hours a day roughly, and i dont really downlad stuff, its just looking at all the car pics on some of the forums im on.

ok i'll have a word to him.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
