You gotta keep your game tight and smile as often as you can, try not to get stuck in work mode. Dont become your own worst enemy, and dont be afraid to see the world through your own eyes rather than what is fed to you by the outside world. Stay true to yourself, and you'll win in the end.

the best way to predict the future, is to invent it...

the difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that an optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity, but a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity...

when you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you...

I use CPIP:

Avian carriers can provide high delay, low throughput, and low
altitude service. The connection topology is limited to a single
point-to-point path for each carrier, used with standard carriers,
but many carriers can be used without significant interference with
each other, outside of early spring. This is because of the 3D ether
space available to the carriers, in contrast to the 1D ether used by
IEEE802.3. The carriers have an intrinsic collision avoidance
system, which increases availability. Unlike some network
technologies, such as packet radio, communication is not limited to
line-of-sight distance. Connection oriented service is available in
some cities, usually based upon a central hub topology.

Need help!

I want to get an internet service set up at my girlfriend's place. Unfortunately there is no pstn line at the premises. It is NOT in a cable area either (Kurralta park)

I want a connection at least 1.5Mb, for less than $60 a month without requiring a phone line.

Only thing I could come up with was Chariot's new wireless broadband. Unfortunately it is not available at the moment.

Also need a plan either NON contract or no more than 12 months.

I have no idea what speeds i get tho

You think I'm gone
But when you wake
There'll be no light
I am the darkness
In your dreams at night
There's no Escape
Have you ever heard the sound, With your head in the ground, And you are affraid to say, animal go away.
That's the sound of your brain crackin'

err you are ever only going to d/l as fast as the sender/server lets you, most times its caped, for example on bit torrent i strugle to find anyone letting you download faster then 250/300 with the average being 100

so having all this wanky speed and proving you have thick glasses and gigantic cahoonas proves nothing

although you can leech more shit at ones at an overall greater speed, but fuck having to buy 300gig HDD every month?

He thinks it would be funny if you sent out a mass PM about this topic.

Personally, I don't see any more than e-grade ironic humour in that scenario.

My Pigeon Enabled Internet post was magnitudes more hilarious.

Maybe you can write a little bit of PHP code that does something like :

User connects to RaveAdelaide site
Login Credentials checked
Upon valid login
-> check whether user has voted in this poll
-> if not , then popup dialog reminding them

I think after a while of constantly being assaulted by the popup dialog, they will go here and vote to get rid of it.

I voted 1.5mbit but it's about to be 512k very soon - iinet are moving everyone on their 20 gig plan, who are on a telstra exchange, onto 512k

As soon as the elizabeth exchange gets done (which is soon), I want to move to ADSL2, probably with kern or maybe with adam (the difference being that kern has a higher setup cost ($65), whereas adam is $5 more expensive per month for the plan)

I don't want to be at 512k for very long :(

Thats about right, which is really surprising - normally these things produce results no where near (as in much slower) than what i normally get.

http://www.zdnet.com.au/broadband/speedtest.htm
gives me a speed of 1220kbps

Your download speed : 1427 kbps or 178.4 KB/sec.

So my download speed is really crap considering I'm less than a km away from the exchange.

The DSL reports are wrong. Screwed up.

I mean look at mine :

I get 1809 kb/s upload rates. Almost 1.8 MB a second. Never had that.

I get 603 kb/s download rates. I can easily get over 1000 kb/s when downloading something from Microsoft or one of the faster sites ...

Sites like MS are mirrored about the place. The DSL reports is not.

A good test is on the old Connect FTP server when there is a 30 MB file you can download for test purposes.

almost every isp has a "test file" you can download from their ftp

iinet have several on their ftp

Lets not forget that they also mirror 2.79TB of data (2790gb) - if you going to do a download speed test from a isp ftp, why not download a file you can use for something? Game demo, movie trailer, app, linux distro, whatever

That's because the site is coming from archive.org which is in San Francisco from what my traceroute shows me, plus I'd be guessing that the archive.org servers cop a floggin'

best way is to grab a 10 meg test file from an ftp and work it out from there, none of this fancy shmancy web page bizzo.

Finally our exchange is Planned for ADSL2+ ... and we live 150m from the exchange

Have Cable 'Extreme' but its sucks compared to the 17mbps ceiling, 6mpbs tops for us... i assume tonnes o people are sharing our Cabley goodness in my neighbourhood, so it hurts.

Harry, if you have extreme and its 2mbps.. call Telstra and ask them about it... we had really low speeds like that too and then 'magically' they found something wrong and we have triple those speeds now.. may as well get your money's worth

.. just saw your first post too.. disturbs me that 2mbps is faster than 'any ADSL2+ you have ever seen' ... is ADSL2+ that unreliable???
