Sup
Probably ridiculous but does anyone know anything to boost internet speeds when your capped? Even slightly.
I'm on a telstra bigpond 25G standard liberty cable connection.
It's so very annoying having an internet connection as bad as / worse than dial-up.

Posted by: SiMONiZZLE Jan 13 2009, 09:15 PM
My old man sorted out our net / phone providers
I've urged him to move elsewhere (TPG or something) but it's around 200 to transfer :S
No sir eeeh

i experience the same as you
im with Optus i have "unlimited" cable
download speeds of over 1.5mbps
but when im capped i dl at like 1kbps
they cap you hard 
its so bad
Posted by: Tank Jan 14 2009, 12:40 PM
really? im on bigpuddle cable and i get 1.5mbps but if im capped i go down to 64kbps 
i usually just avoid trying to get capped ^_-
Posted by: Anarchy RD Jan 14 2009, 01:34 PM
its impossible for me not to get capped, im always downloading something
and i have 2 other brothers that are always downloading
i dont like optus
Posted by: TechL Jan 14 2009, 01:41 PM
lol, I have 25gb and 3 of us still manage to use it all up before the end of the month.
Posted by: neon Jan 14 2009, 04:31 PM
shit thing with craptus and bigpoo is they count uploads as well.. so 20GB would probably end up being ~15GB if you use torrents alot...
My serious suggestion is switch ISPs. Bigpond overcharge through the arse and people eat it all up because you get 5% off your bills when you go with telstra for everything... little do you know they make like 10% more off you than other companies even with the discount.
It may be an inconvenience to pay 2 bills, but netspace is a fuckload cheaper than most others... Im with 'node and im getting ripped a new one... $149/month for 80gb. Even 12GB with bigpuddle is $59... then 20gb for $79? fuck that.

I'm on 12GB Cable... it's enough every month, never been capped until last month, first one ever. And by accident, if I need anything that bad, I just get it on the last day of the months billing.
But the thing is, I can get enough shit at each reSpawn that lasts me till the next and beyond so I don't need to download anything. You guys must get bored real easy! lol!

im on an old optus legacy plan
uploads are not counted
although 36GB a month is just not enough for me
Posted by: Tank Jan 16 2009, 01:10 AM
See thats the diff! i hardly download everything
i only use 100mb a day, and thats cause iget bored and facebook and youyube lots, hahah XD
so obvious when i formatted my pc... dlded like 1gb worth of stuff XD
Posted by: nato Jan 19 2009, 03:57 PM
Apparently some new isp is coming out that offers unlimited downloads.
The difference is you have to pay for anything extra, like tech support etc.. so good luck if you have a line fault

Woo.
Hotkey, 8Mb/s 12GB for $60/month. NEED MOAR DOWNLOAD LIMIT. =(
Not sure if we get capped or charged for going over though. We went over a last month, and we got $30 overcharged. Dad still thinks we get shaped.
Heh.

What a rip, I'm paying $70 for 24mbit, 150gb per month quota, uploads not counted, shaped after capped
Posted by: SirSquidness Feb 21 2009, 02:34 PM
Yeah, don't tell me about it. I realise we're being ripped. But it's Dad's connection, not mine. And the local ISP rep is a client of Dad's... so ... you know... >.<
And as of tomorrow, I'll be on a 5GB/month Vodafone 3G connection. This is gonna suck [probably]. *sigh*

we had 60gig telstra cable, but when you have a rapidshare account i'd prefer to be capped than pay overages.
we got a $700 bill once, 15c/MB is really uncool.
now we're on TPG 200gb and everything is much better

Posted by: minski Aug 31 2009, 02:44 PM
cappage ay?
Best thing to do is to change your MTU settings in modem/router.
Basically what you do is login to your modem/router by typing its IP into web browser (mine is 192.168.0.1), logon details should usually be at the bottom of the modem/router. In my case my login is Admin and password is whatever is set it to
Then have a good look around everywhere in the settings for MTU, and change that to 576 (usually works), default should be 1500
cheers,
Minski

Makes sense. All the packets in an Australian>American internet link routes through the cables between Sydney and Los Angeles.
So if you're in Sydney, your delicious data has less distance to travel.

Yeah and.. if you bothered looking its to a local server..
Interleave off profile (better latency..)

If you've changed it, factory reset the modem and the default user/pass will work.
If you don't know what the default is, download your modems manual.
Protip: Don't get shaped.
