Too Much Bandwidth (or maybe, just quota)
So, time for another pointless update on myself (well, I may as well post, otherwise this place would be entirely dead). I’ve posted a number of times before about my internet connection and that, and how you’ve probably figured that I’ll never shut up about it until something like the NBN comes (if it ever [...]
Switched internet plans
Stuck in a churn request to switch internet plans a few days ago. I’m moving from TPG’s 30+30GB (on/off peak) 512kbps plan to Exetel’s 15+”120″GB (on/off peak) 1.5Mbps plan (it’s more like 100GB off peak, since it’s like impossible to get 120GB through a 1.5Mbps line in 6 hours per day for 31 days). Both [...]

My current download speed is around 10KB/sec, about 5 times slower than it should be. Well, that’s not too bad, as I browse with [...]
