Internet Speed Test

[d22dave]

No but that icon tells us another reason why you take so long to reply

I wish my internet was as quick as me

 

[KraftyPg]

We all do!

 

[d22dave]

Now if Julia could make internet that quick

 

[KraftyPg]

Well she's obviously done her job making the hand movements quick maybe you will get your second wish

 

[d22dave]

Satellite internet is out of contract in a couple of days, Back on telstra with a 4g wireless dongle

 

[KraftyPg]

As long as I don't have to use internet on a friggen mobile phone screen I'll use any speed.

 

[Dave]

Some of the local exchanges are getting fitted out for the NBN.

Old switch bar racks being removed.

 

[d22dave]

My place is 9 km from the exchange so there is no adsl for me

 

[Dave]

Fibre will work at that distance.

The linies must love fixing faults on your line. Lol.

 

[KraftyPg]

Our area isn't "listed" to be added to the NBN in the 2012-2013 schedule apparently. Telstra reckon we can get ADSL2 here but I'm not going back to Telstra for $40 more a month and a bit of a speed increase.

 

[d22dave]

Yep we get is it level 5 techs?

 

[Dave]

Linie.

Band 7 etc are exchange techs, fix the Rims etc.

Look & weep you jealous lot.

I just feel sorry for the 1% slower then yours

 

[d22dave]

They laid a new cable through our paddock 2 years ago, After they left it drapped over the fence for 6 months

 

[Dave]

Thats dial up I hope.

If its ADSL, your line has some decent faults.

 

[Al]

not sure what i'd do with speed like that, i mean I downloaded 53gb in a 24hr period the other day on my adsl 8000 speed line, god knows how quick i'd get shaped with NBN speeds. I blame FLAC audio and HD TV for my woes. just checked i've only got 530mb left to last 10 days till i get reset. Thats a week of listening to the wife ask why her phone internet is so slow lol.

 

[d22dave]

No its for the phone , No adsl for me the lines arn,t up to scratch, Too much money to upgrade and not enough houses to warrant it

 

[Dave]

Your about 5km's to far to from the exchange aswell.

 

[d22dave]

Your about 5km's to far to from the exchange aswell.

Thats right but the upside is over my back fence is the state forest, So in about 2 minutes time if i wanted i could have the hubs in and be playing in the mud

 

[Dave]

From what I hear, any exchange under 1000 customers wont be getting the NBN.
