not worth it, go nuts...

FordACE · 13-04-2008, 08:30 PM

my speeds are as follows:

download: 5597 kb/s
upload: 400 kb/s

Currently used ADSL2+ TPG.

These are not 100% indicative of my actual speed because I have other mates in my house leaching the internet. I sync at 11Mbit, which is usually good for 1.01Mb/s

yeah i only just noticed that. My mate was playing WOW and told me pings were high so I reset it and retested.

Telstra 1500k plan, not too bad considering where I live and how far from the exchange I am.

FordACE · 13-04-2008, 08:38 PM

I just reset my router, see the difference.

**Falcon Coupe** · 13-04-2008, 08:39 PM

Thats more like it. ^^

What adsl modem/router do you use? Do you have a brand preference? I like my billion, but after days of being on it seems to lag a bit.

I had a billion a few years ago, it was ok.

The one i have now is cheap but does a flawless job, set and forget.

never seen that brand before. what did it set you back? The billion I have (7300G) is pretty good, but doesn't handle torrenting as much as it's slightly bigger brother the 7404G. I guess I should have spent that little bit more.

IIRC $80, torrents are fine, a good site gets me a 700meg AVI rip in 1.5 hours which is basically maxing out my connection.

7401 and 7404 are a lot better than the 7300 series.

After dealing with many different modems at work the only ones i would recommend are the Open 625 series the Open 824RLW (which is a rebadged billion 7402 at a lower price with a shorter warranty) and the billion 740x series, and of course cisco if your wanting to spend over a grand.

Billion 7300's seem okay for a cheaper modem but i would definitely stay away from the 5000 series billions.

Most modems seem to run OK on 1500k.. it's only when your getting up above 5mbit where some really fall over.

It's not bad for adsl1. Is your exchange being updated to adsl2+ anytime soon?

not for a long long time, we had all sorts of trouble getting adsl1, it was borderline, we're 5 and a half kms from the exchange, only reason we were able to get it as we were testing something for telstra and they offered us adsl, they said we shouldn't have it and tried all sorts of excuses to stop TPG from supplying us.

so is your adsl1 the 8000 version or 1500 only? Wonder if you could get slightly better speeds if they gave you full speed adsl1

1500 only, so paying $70 a month for 50GB, pretty happy though. now just to play the waiting game till its upgraded to a ADSL2+ exchange
