From what i remember TPG is a shit product and shit service. The only good thing about it is that its cheap.

I dont have my internet with any major provider, i use AANET 8MB connection 50gb per month... have not had any issues with them at all and most importantly it has customer support which is local :)

TPG rate pretty highly on that list. I reckon I would call customer service once a year, so customer service quality is less important, although I would probably be the first to get annoyed at shit service when I am actually on the phone to them.

Who knows ey? We are still living in the dark ages in this country when it comes to internet servic and they want to further damage it by implementing this travesty of compulsory filtering. What a joke.

take a good read on tpg own forum.. if you are having bad luck like me, u gonna restart your modem every 1-10 hours as you will lose connection/drop. I have changed 3 modems, even using TPG recommended ones.. Worst experience is losing connection in 4x minutes, and i have to face this issue every day (EVERYDAY 365 days!!!!!!!)..

VERY USUAL and most of the people who face this kind of issue, will not be able to fix no matter wat.. ALTHOU the tpg will try to help u out by isolation and stuff (which i done it for xx times, and still i m facing the face issue)

I m using their broadband internet(200gb, $79) and mobile ($49 cap, only paying $9.99). When the contract ends, i will throw it away!

also, PLEASE check how far are you from the service point(forgot wat it is called), u can check at their website too. The further u are, the slower your internet speed(100%) and more chances of having my issue (60%??)

I had a similar issue - found out the actual problem was related to the telephone line - thre was some sort of line issue - not the Internet provider. You may need to see Telstra (or who ever provides your phone line).

I spent the first 3-4months of my ADSL connection troubleshooting line problems with TPG/Telstra, Telstra eventually came by and found the issue was with the old line to the house and replaced it (even though there system couldn't detect it remotely).

TPG's customer service is pretty bad, prices are good. And service is pretty good these days, downtime is rare (unlike 4 years ago where it was common to be down for significant amounts of time)

I use Bigpond Extreeme 30Mb/s plan. Nothing like downlaoding all your torrents in 15min while doing 10 at a time.

I also only use Telstra NextG as every other network is shit in comparision for coverage.

Thanks must go to work for paying for all of this.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
