Just got real internet (NBN)

[Tr00pertj]

Greetings all,

 

Long time since I had the pleasure of being able to go to sites when I want and the bandwidth to not worry about running out and being shaped to 10Kb/s. Now I have fibre to the home and a decent connection speed with plenty of data bandwith I can start to focus more on things I like doing. One of which of cause is these forums and TDM. Just wish there where more hours in the day now. Finished Witcher 3 the wild hunt few days ago and that was a cool game. Took ages but enjoyable and in the end I only failes 2 quests. Will have to revisit that game again:) Ah the games I have been waiting to play but could never get the download are now my fist focus. Then when I get board DR will take my attention. I can actually upload files properly now so still working on a WIP but should with luck be ready for beta within a couple months, I hope.

Hay jaxa interesting links there.

I'm only seeing 2.8-3.0MB/s download speeds on steam at the moment. I think it's also got to do with the networks and servers I'm downloading from.

When I had my 4G WiFi broadband i saw DL speeds up to 8MB/s but usually around 3-4 and with 8GB data bandwidth a month this is a big change for the better. Not to mension the crap the current pollies are implimenting using the copper and running FTTN. At least i am lucky enough to have FTTP so in future I can go much faster. Fibre at consumer level now here can do 100 down 50 up and I see some poeple in my area getting 30-40 down speeds but I'm on a 25/5 connection. Using speedtest.net I get 24/4. So not to bad. Fibre is cappable of 40Gb/s bandwidth so plenty of room for when ISP's start releasing 1Gb/s connections.

There's been years of coverage about NBN on The Register if you are interested.

 

However you're lucky not just to get FTTP, but also because you aren't in America.

What Gitmo nation? I have a friend over in Calif now working on the next COD. Very smart and very lucky and a bit of ass thrown in he is. He was in the interview for more than 12 months believe it or not. He was showing us a map just before he left for calif. The map was for COD WAW and would have taken me 12 months to complete. He had 3 weeks.

I thought google were laying fibre everywhere over the states. and fiose or whatever it is fibre? No?

The Google rollout is very limited in scope and takes a long time. It's only in Austin, Kansas City, and Provo so far. AT&T threatened to stop fiber rollout over net neutrality, and multiple parties have now sued the FCC. FiOS has just 5 million customers over 13 states. Comcast is offering a 2 Gbps service... for $300 a month.

 

Everything is in a state of flux as these rollouts slowly continue and the legal matters related to net neutrality reach the courts.

Makes sense. Well not really but the major cost of roll out with regards to fibre is the man power (Techs) that come to your residents and install the product. Still $300 is an insult to everyones intellegence I think.

Out of curiosity which side do AT&T sit with regards to "net neutrality" as if it needs to be anything but or is?

AT&T, but not Verizon and Comcast, sue FCC over net neutrality

AT&T agrees to stricter Net neutrality rules to get its DirecTV deal approved

 

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler said Tuesday that he is recommending that his four fellow commissioners approve AT&T's bid to purchase DirecTV. But to win his approval AT&T has had to agree to several conditions, which include not only expanding the current deployment of its gigabit broadband network, but also agreeing to stricter Net neutrality requirements.

Ah when will they learn proabition never works?

Nature vs Nurture. As far I can tell and as a living being Nuture always wins over Nature. Think hard people. Why are you me and every one/thing/person/lover/Hater/GBLHTC and priest able to reason? Maybe becuse we are capable of reason and Compassion. Maybe not but I know how I like to be treated and that is with reason and Nurture.

 

I just hope there are enough people in congress for life and not for $$$$ After all we are here you me and us together now at this point in time as nature slowly burns us all. Should we not at least enjoy it?
