you pay quarterly, and u'r locked for that quarter. 19.95 is the infinity special plan, not the staff plan, think the staff one is 14 bucks or sumfin like that.

showing ur n00bness again i see.... ignore him he knows not what he speaks.

the FAMILY AND FRIENDS plan which is/was available is a month by month contract... ie. no long terms. Ur too n00b to know as it was brought in b4 u started.

[funkymonkey]

fkn, family and friends plan is not $19.95 u relic... 19.95 is infinity quarterly, and family and friends plan is like $4 sumfin less than 19.95. learn 2 read

no one had any info on it last night so i couldnt check anything out...

[inark]

don't forget there might be other things which can slow your modem down. Eg: extension cable, Fax machine, double adaptors, message bank, if you are in the rural area, make sure you turn off your electric fence.. alternatively, if none applies, reinstall modem driver.. if it still doesn't work, get yourself a MOLDS test from your phone company eg: Telstra.

Try upgrading your firmware or modem driver from the manufacturer's website.

Don't use +ms=11 as that will slow down your modem to v34.

I suggest search for the proper modem string from the net..

Iprimus tech advise is a no no!

Ps: Telstra OWNZ iprimus.

[inark]

what a n00b... obviously didnt read any of the posts... telstra like to make there customers think that stringing them to 48k when their line can only handle 36k is a valid solution... this is why telstra tech support is useless like a used tampon.

half or more of what u have suggested we have already gone thru and tested.

[pushead]

their line can only handle 33k is due to pair gaining!

ps: aren't you meant to be @ work now?

yea.. still waiting TPG's reply. Think they are going to charge me $99 extra just to change the plan over to 512. .. that sux considering im only 2 weeks into my plan. Anyway, so far in 2 weeks in have downloaded 25gig's leaving my PC 24/7 a week. hehe, i think I can reach 50 gig a month quite easily!
