Horrible quality Telstra internet that goes down every time it rains and whatnot. Although we're going to be switching ISP soon which is going to be good, parents are looking at either TPG which is pretty cool but I'd prefer Internode maybe. Although I do have a friend with TPG who says it's good and also the closes node or whatnot is really damn close to my house.
Go with Internode. I'm getting it soon.

Sky suck. I was pushing 1MB speeds using sky connect (DSL) at peek times. They told me it was the line and BTs fault. Switched to BT and I'm getting the speed shown below.

They told my dad that it's the line and BT aswell. He doesn't really care though since we have no issues with our download limit, it's cheap and he doesn't care about downloading large files anyway.
Still getting a speed that is more than 20 times worse than what you're quoted...

I don't need to test it, I know what my speeds are. 315 kilobytes per second down and 55 kilobytes per second up. It never changes.....other than sites that can't send that fast.

It's been an incredibly stable connection for all the years we've had it. It's a DSL connection.

Currently at peak time (or we just got capped). Normally it's around 9.80Mb/s
Upload speed is always that speed.

It amazes me how people can have pretty Godly upload speeds and crappy download speeds.

Looking through the thread and it looks like me and DeadLocked on the first page have the same Virgin Media package :3

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
