NBN Rollout Scrapped

Jump to new

Thanks for the info overhang, I will pass it on. The modem was supplied with the install, so you may well be right.
The gb/s as opposed to mb/s was my mistake, thanks for the correction, will try and post before the sunset red has set in.

It might be worth posting the speed test on here for comparison?
Interested in the ping reading

Mine is Download - 23.77 Mbps
Upload speed - 4.77 Mbps
Ping 2ms

Not knowing anything about the internet and technology, I should also point out that if you are using a dog computer your speeds will also be woof woof. e.g.if you are running XP don't expect win10 speeds and if you are running a 1.6 dual processor don't expect quad speeds. Ram is a major consideration
 
I agree although I wouldn't expect the above to affect an online speed test.
My vista computer is 11 years old and has enough RAM to let me disable the paging file thingy.
This is important to me because it takes usage away from the HDD.

The Ping is the important thing. If the latency is too high it slows down everything.
 
I connect through Telstra Cable, hopefully nbn will never come to my street.

 

Yeah well we could debate ping tests, but when it all boils down it's the download speed test that means an enjoyable experience.

From the previous various posts it is easily observable that many people have NFI how the net works, let alone how to quantify and qualify their ignorance of the topic.

This of course is what Tony Abbott played on ..... the bogeyman ALP polly with a cockney accent trying to sell us a state of the art system that would cost taxpayers $23bn as it's commitment to a PPP rollout. Same as he hood winked the party faithful by decrying the ALP's "big black hole" that his policies have doubled in three+ short years.

No wonder LNP hacks are spitting personal venom at anything that moves ..... coming to terms the betrayal of their conscience must be unbearable, like telling all your friends how good a P76 is and buying one only to become the laughing stock of the community.
 
Funny you should add a P76 into a discussion about ping.
With a 9:1 compression ratio they ping like crazy on todays fuel. LOL

Shameless segue comparison to the NBN:

1. But a simple cam profile change should take care of the effective compression ratio and some hardened exhaust valve seats = sorted, whereas with the NBN not having a fibre available in proximity of the premises means there is not opportunity for flexibility

2. Actually being a motor head myself, and one who wholesale modifies car engines in his spare time I must correct you on a technicality...... the real word is "pink" ........ a highly undesirable situation. the worst case being incipient knock

......whereas the NBN is a "pig"... a highly undesirable situation of bespoked, cobbled together use of redundant wiring that was the root cause of the need for a national network after decades in the hands of an LNP crony infiltrated delinquent telecoms monopoly, that deserve a big overt knock.

We used to delight in using speedtest on 4G phones which produced astronomical speeds far in excess of transmission tower capability. We used it to prove there is no weapon quite so powerful as a good statistic, as much as a lie that it is.
 
So if I run a set of mallorys between my donk computer and my webers modem it should mitigate the pink ping and go faster?

I have noticed my NBN speeds are faster at night when the air is crisp

You are refreshingly wiser beyond your years and certainly wiser than dementia masquerading as a valid point of view.

Yes denser air is the reason for sure, not with standing of course the absence of the vacuous Mbps of the daytime McGyvers and Heath Robinsons running the NBN.
 
I suppose what has to be asked is, will higher internet speeds, bring about the promised new age of technology based growth.
I doubt it, but it was a great way to blow $80billion, that we now have to pay for.
I hope time proves me wrong.
But I would have thought Dams in the North, pipelines heading South and Inter State gas pipelines, would have been a better spend.
With the left over lolly, you could have put in the high speed train, from Sydney to Melbourne.
Maybe had enough left over to connect Brisbane and update Port facilities around Australia.
 
The NBN is off budget. We don't have to pay for it.

I think that is already underway and being held back by lack of infrastructure.

Gosh, I can't wait to see it manifest itself, having said that they are putting in a new self serve at Riverton Forum Big W.

Well of course her is always going to be things that are individual no interest functions.

But I can tell you when speaking at international symposiums about the future of telemetry, microcontroller automation systems, open protocols, wide area networks, etc back in the 80's there were a lot of oracles who could see no value nor future for such things.... all that time I wasted learning about how to design and build industrial computer, programming and networks was a waste of time LOL
 
You should go on the Melbourne comedy festival, maybe Rumpole could sit on your knee.lol

Like I say you come across as consumed by jealousy and hate, which is a little too late for a man who's what, 55 years old and chronologically expected to have a more affable maturity.
