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.

dont use bigpuddle?

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

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 ^_-

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

lol, I have 25gb and 3 of us still manage to use it all up before the end of the month.

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.

Battle of the ISPs
Start suggesting me good ones
GO

bigpond, also works hell fast

damn Mang, that is hella fast,
what kind of internet? cable?
im on cable and make i get is 10k down 200 up

YEAH

works fail net

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!

Gaming eats alot of your usage.
My dad downloads a fair bit of music / albums.
I dl the odd game + movie
My brother surfs youtube alot
All contributing factors I spose

im on an old optus legacy plan

uploads are not counted

although 36GB a month is just not enough for me

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

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

just get the 60 gig plan ?


is there anything faster then extreme cable from bigpond im on the 25 gig extreme plan and i love it fastest ive been with todate

Whys my upload so awful?

needs moar upload...

your upload sux as you use bigpond they have crap upload i think max 128

woo

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

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*

lol VU

Woeh nice upload

For cheap TPG that aint bad.. although im still trying to get back the 1mbit upload speeds i used to have

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

i have 1337 net!!!! WOOOOO see how fast that is?? to get a movie its faster for me to wait till the next respawn!!!!!!!!! PS dont live out in the sticks if you want good net i learnt the hard way and i still Pwne Simmo in COD




Edit* OMG and thats of peek when all the noobs aren't using my bandwidth on the over subscribed tower that drops out all the time I HATE MY ISP!!!!! cost me plenty of wars and eaby items... think i can take them to court? i wish i could anyway and i ring them up all the time like once, i was talking to there help guy and i wam like my nets not working and i tried pinging your website it has not been up for ages... "oh the web site is down, um try pinging google......." OMG! and it still didn work coz there tards and took like a day to figure out that something was wrong......

what the hell...

just coz every1 else is doing it

MINE IS BESTEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD



since i only just found this...and its old also.

hmm, funny how sydney link is faster than melbourne

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

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..)

mines slower than usual

cool, thanks, unfortunately i forget / cant find my username / password
oww

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.

thanks dewt, willdo

Looks like I got upgraded to gigabit at work
