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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
