Your internet connection?

Fail.

It's never been down to us so it's obviously your end.

We do live in different states idiot. If I call TPG and ask if there is downtime at that moment and they say yes, then yes there is downtime, you really like to pay out my end when there is nothing wrong with it 👎.

You are correct on your last statement, Australian internet is RUBBISH. You see those guys above paying 10 of their dollars for unlimited usage on ADSL 2+ internet, you are looking at 80+ AUD (Australian Dollars) for something like that.

I think the best deal around is the Optus one for $70 AUD a month. I just worry about the speed. It's 90GB of downloads. 30 on, 60 off. Wireless, but the modem and connection fee is like $200.

And I got an e-mail from bigpond (telstra), apologizing for all the problems i've had and I get a free new modem and I am being switched to a faster plan.

All this because they can't be bothered fixing my connection. Woo!

$60AUD a month, with up to 3 hours downtime a night, usually between about 8pm and 1am, but sometimes at other times. Just because we have a bad connection or live too far away from the tower or something. :rolleyes:

Also 20GB limit. And since i live in such a crappy remote area, Internode is the only ISP that has coverage. :rolleyes:

Sharky.
What were you downloading through μTorrent, may I ask?

I was downloading Call of Duty 4 demo. Is there a problem there officer?

I just upgraded to Bigpond ADSL+, I get 12GB downloads at 1-20mbps for $60 AUD a month. That'll teach Telstra (Bigpond) to stuff with my family.

Your lucky your parents pay that much to have internet that bad.

12gig is going to pretty much go nowhere if you use your internet alot, good luck with that.

We've been on a 12 gig plan for about 13 months and haven't gone over it once. My mum uses it only to receive e-mails and my step dad works late then doesn't really use the internet, so it's basically all mine. :lol:

waggles · Jan 21, 2010

I know someone that uses 40GB a week. :nervous:

Someone had to say it. :lol:

SRV2LOW4ME · Jan 21, 2010

I always wanted to test my connection out, guess its not as good as I hoped. Meh, not bad for $40 a month.

60 GB cap, which isn't bad, except that my girlfriends dad actually hits his cap monthly and usually around the 3rd week. :scared:

Shoogar · Jan 28, 2010

Finally got an upgrade. $70 a month..

12 GB cap. We wont hit our cap though.

Rollin'.

By the way 'Round the Bend, we pay $50 a month for 25GB cap... change over! :lol:

Rykon Zero · Jan 29, 2010

Huh. I'm on wifi, though.

Im on wifi too. I have a ping of 13.

We can do some random thing and get $20 off our bill a month.

But i'm pretty much the only person in our house who uses the internet excessively.

Rykon Zero · Jan 29, 2010

I don't think I have a cap. I amassed a total of more than 100 GB one month. Do not ask me how.

TB · Jan 29, 2010

Do not ask me how.

Pretty sure you know. And so do we.

Rykon Zero · Jan 29, 2010

I completely understand that. I just didn't want people to start asking the content.

nick09 · Jan 29, 2010

It's good considering that it's a wireless connection and for the fact that the wireless card came with the desktop's motherboard.

ell470 · Jan 29, 2010

I've got 100Mbit downstream & 10Mbit Upstream for 349kr/month which is approximately 51 USD's/month and to think, just like 12 years ago I was paying pretty much the same for a 56k modem connection haha!

I will upgrade my upstream to 30Mbit as soon as my ISP offers it.

oh, and I've got no Gb cap at all.

Love the way technology evolves

Stavingo · Jan 29, 2010

I guess thats good enough on Wi-Fi.

I wish technology would evolve in Australia. :ill:

Rykon Zero · Jan 29, 2010

I live next to Microsoft! So naturally I'm going to have some incredibly awesome internet as at least an option.

Good enough to stream 1080p videos.

Your upload is a bit shoddy, do one on the PS3 and post it, I want to see your upload from it.

My upload is .80. Is that any good?

It's not bad. As long as you don't play online, I think you'd be fine.

But for bragging rights again, I'll post mine.

But again, technically my grandmother's.

Stavingo · Jan 29, 2010

Did the test on my PS3 and theres little to no difference in connection.

Fine but not superb, better than mine at 0.2.

Its still fine for playing online, as I just said I play online with the .20 which may be less on my PS3 (doubt it) and it is fine. Any lower and there is probably some issues.

Well that is a bit worrying, we wont let you host eh?

livemusic · Jan 29, 2010

An upload speed of .80 is fine for online play as long as it's a local server. I have .30 upload and I have no problems playing.
