Ok I have had ADSL in the past but this blew me away..

This is what I have had..

Started with a 512k ADSL plan with a perth provider and it was awesome! Was downloading at about 55k per second !!

I Then upgraded my plan and got 1.5MB with the same provider.

Was getting about 175k per second downloads!! That was pure joy compaired to my good old 56k beast that would get me 4k if I was lucky!

I then went back to dialup whilst I rented for the past year.

Last week i thought why not I'll do it..

I got ADSL2 setup.

I connect to the internet at 12345k per second ( 12.34mb ) and my upload speed is 1024k per second ( 1mb )

I have hit speeds of 1270k per second!!! And thats not buffered at the start of a file thats average on the iiNET ADSL FTP Speed tests.

OHHH MY GOD!!!

:P

Who else has 12MB ADSL and what speeds are you getting??

I *had* Amnet's 8mb when I was living in East Perth and would regularly get speeds of 800-950k/s from international linux iso sites *cough*

Now I'm back on 1.5mb in Ocean Reef with not really any hope in hell of it being upgraded for DSL2 in the future :P

YOU'RE ALL BASTARDS!

What did you use to test your speeds? I'm in Hillarys and aren't sure which exchange I'm hooked up to.. I'm hoping it's Mullaloo and not ocean Reef!

DL speeds have been around 150-300k/sec.. that would be a 1.5Mb link?

cam just check your settings on your router if your using one..... in your web browser type 10.1.1.1 and login all the settings will come up and it will tell you at what speed your connection is

i'd say yours is just over 1.5mb if your getting between 150-300kb/sec

i'm on 1.5 flat and i get around 120-200kb/sec

Holy shit... rerading this thread makes me cringe... I was on 40mbps at home and 100mbps at work back in Japan :P

Why in the heck does Australia suck at internet so much???

I can have uptp 1gb/sec at work with the flick of a switch :D (God bless Fibre)

But I just have to settle for 15mb Fibre these days :)

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
