Are you sure you don't mean 1 Mega BYTE, that equals 8 Mega bits which is a bit less than the speed test but closer.

>>33828

I think that is what I meant, thanks.

>>33831

>Faster than 99% of AU

Still does anybody still remember the days of dial-up?

>Dial up muh 56kbps modem

>Connects at 46kbps

NBN fag I ran on 56kpbs until I moved to Canberra. Switched to ADSL2 then got NBN in the first roll out wave.

I am never moving, I can't go back to those awful speeds.

I didn't start using the Internet till 96', started off with an extra loud as shit lexmark 28kbps modem on an overpriced window 95 system.

I remember typing "sex" into the web browser and that was the first time I saw internet porn, 2 years later in grade 3 some kid at school found a beastiality website

Grade six we were doing some project on Ned Kelly and the teachers gathers us around the computer to show us a website on him, she types in www.nedkellysworld.com without the .au and it directs to porn.

The Internet these days is just Facebook, Twitter and Youtube for most people, there's no more typing random shit into the browser bar too see what surprises you'll get. Every domain's been bought up by some silicon valley faggot.

iinet's been shitting the tits here, sucks

in the richest fucking area in the state and we're getting nbn last

pretty sure that's the way socialism is supposed to work, asshole

MB = MegaByte

Mb= Megabit

1MB = 8Mb

Byte: [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]

bit: [1]

confusion is this generally

Files are measured in Bytes.

Data transmission is measured in bits (per seconds)

14.85Mb/s = 1.85MB/s

Where the fuck are you anon?

That's is the worst I have ever seen!

Post code?

Wasn't DODO voted worst ISP in Australia a few years ago?

Apparently no Internet provider can legally provide me with broadband as the speeds are below the minimum required to be called broadband. iinet said that the theoretical speed was negative on their system. Living in between two hills as well so 4G is patchy at best. All this while being a stone throw from the capital city

I blame kevin rudd, the barsted

upload is shit,

dl is acceptable for 1 device streaming HD

jitter/ping is ok

passable not great.

Rolled 8, 4, 4, 7, 8, 1 + 3 = 35 (6d8)

I live in ipswich, qld. And nbn cunts were in the pits yesterday, how long until i get connected?

>>34783

I know your fucking pain, mate. I get like 6 Mbps.

>>33844

That looks cool. What sort of dial-in modems did you have? How many telephone lines did you have? Were they over an E-carrier or was that the link to OzEmail?

>>35026

That's African tier speeds

>>35053

>>35026

Oh fuck off. I had 256/64 ADSL until 2010. If you're not willing to fix your line then you have no right to complain about 2Mbps. Fucking whining children everywhere in this thread.

Adam/iinet here.

Adam used to be based till iinet bought them, since then the service quality has gone to dogshit. Speeds are a pretty standard 14Mbps down, .85Mbps up. Practical max speed of 1.7MBps.

Pretty common to be stuck at 1.1Mbps down, 0.85Mbps up with an under 50km ping of 300.

Anytime it gets remotely hot the router they provided fails and they wouldn't replace it. So I cut some hole in it and nigger-rigged a desk fan to cool it but it's not that much better tbqhwl. Netcomm a shit.

If it's hot or raining something outside the house fails, whether that's the exchange, shit cabling in the street I don't know, but it happens so often I've had the chance to rigorously fault check my entire home, including throwing a fluke meter on my cabling and it's definitely their fuck up.

>Australia

>Using products that fail in the heat

Customer service has gone to to shit too. Steam downloads are no longer unmetered, a bunch of other shit too now uses quota. Extra data costs more now. Oh and they slashed my data cap from 200Gb on peak/200Gb off peak to just 200Gb.

Thought about switching to TPG's unlimited plan, but I'm pretty sure they're owned by iinet too.I'm just about last in the country for even the gimped NBN too.

Fuck iinet.

>>35706

I switched from adam to tpg recently.

Fuck adam. They rip you off and have THE worst customer service. I abuse those curry fucks every time they can't understand me or try to get uppity.

>>35706

TPG owns iinet now and From in Perth I've heard iinet went total balls up because of it.

I use iprimus now and get around 11MBS on peak and it works out pretty good

a reminder that the author supported the MTM (and was giving shit to those who weren't) prior to the election.

Wouldn't surprise me. I tried to get Dodo once. They connected it to the house next door. Somehow they were able to download 4 GB in the time it was active without my password. Because of this, I never got my setup fees back. Absolute fuckers.

At least we had friendly neighbours (on the other side) who let us leech their wifi for the three weeks dodo fucked us around.

Now things are much better. Got a different company fucking us around now. Paying through the nose for 30Mbps cable. Getting 6Mbps. The only upside is I've never gotten a C&D letter.

In my entire time playing it I haven't seen a person sleeping.
