dunno bout that one :)
did a few quick (download) test from rather reputable sites (ftp.aarnet.edu.au), and even downloading from my own webspace.... I was not able to get speeds above 0.9kb/s.
that's... slowwww. :eyes:
either way - the month is nearly over :P |

that's shocking! Hmm, I don't think I'll be getting Optus Cable anytime soon. |

| damn i've been watching this little war and hoping things would get better from competition not worse. I see DSL getting a bit cheaper now though. i'll wait some more till i get cable i think |

yeah - it's great for the first 3000mb, but after that... you've hit a bloody big brick wall..
although it's B/S though, cause their assuming 1gig = 1000mb... we all know that 1gig = 1024mb..
they could of given us the extra 72mb of downloads... the bastards! :toothless |

heh, yep...went over 3gb at the start of the weekend :(
it's far worse than modem...'cos at least modem can hold a constant speed...but this spikes all the time...ie. d/l's at 6kBs for a second, then d/l's nothing for a second, d/l's at 4kBs for a second, then d/l's nothing for a second, d/l's at 7kBs, then nothing...u get the idea :(:(:(
f00kin hell...next time i'm bringing my modem home...get faster speed for sure with a 56k than the crap cable
...but can't totally complain...pings r still fekkin good :D:D:D

Yeah, the new system just sucks :(
However, I went on a binge at the end of the last month of limitless downloads (July), and vacuumed over 3 GB in 2 days off the DC Hub. I'm only just getting through listening to everything now... :D |

Ok we all now cable operators Optus and Telstra suck. There is no real competition between them and they give the worts service to their customers among the other cable operators of the developed countries.
Soon they'll get their match! Now smaller IP companies have the technologie to deliver cable speeds without cables!!! Using a system similar to mobilephone network they can achieve just that. A few of'em already started the service and as they get more customers a lot more IP companies will join the train and as a result the real competition will start in Broadband market.
Here's a link for you to see what I mean

Tarif 3 - 200Mb between 5-10pm. u've got 2 b kidding me !! I could almost do that o/n on my dialup connection. with broadband that would ALL be used up in just one evening :whip:
still doesn't look like an option if u ask me.
at this stage, next year I will be signing with Netscape. Same deal 3Gb/mth but none of that tarif riff-raff and the like. ~55$ if I remember rightly
BB in this country sux shiat
the only real option as far as I can see is to dl as much stuff as u can using a T1 connection where u work or @ uni hehe :)
I guess it HAS to only get better once Scum$tra stop being such monopolising s !! (read: I do NOT like Telstra !!) |
