Here are some cliffs so we can just skip it

Hamish quote's Alex's post, reminding him that his beloved Liberals killed the NBN and that he should blow Tony Abbott; Ric comes in with a clever jibe lined with anti ALP sentiment but hardly anyone gets the reference; Hamish pretends to be non-partisan and no one believes him for a second; Al attacks the lazy working class and anyone who doesn't pay a lot of tax including puppies with cancer; Dezz calls Abbott a cocksucker, then somehow gets a payrise for blocking roads in the city

Meh, I give no f**ks... about NBN

Labor f**ked it one way then liberal another... In any case I have unlimited ADSL 2 and don't need faster

Alex will care though as the way the Liberal f**ked it will obviously be the right way

So is mine, I'm on Telstra Bigpond Cable, 100mbit... Which is 4 times faster than anyone will ever need.

The problem is my workplace, where the absolute best we can get is 3mbps ADSL, shared between 20 people...

This is in Cheltenham, just 20km from the Melbourne CBD...

VoIP, flakey at best without killing all other traffic using QoS.

Video conferencing, no way.

Cloud based Services, painful.

you should complain to the tech manager onsite

that is unacceptable and it's all his fault and should be doing a better job.

is there a steam repository in AU (never used it so no idea)

as if not you would never get close to maxing the connection out anyhow.

[Plattsy]

What did liberal get right today? I'll tell Ya!

Abbott is spot on about not funding remote communities they have no right to go live north of bum fk Idaho and expect gov support - the fact they are aboriginal or not is irrelevant

Yeah there would be, I max out my connection at around 4mbps downloading steam games

I've got heaps of boxes in my garage after just moving.. although a lot of them are flat pack boxes that would be shit for 'moving boxes'.. I'll have to have a look what dimensions? I've got a massive TV box if you want it

A few years back when I had to care about internet quota, I ran a program on my PC which tweaked some firewall rules to block the Non-Bigpond Steam Content Servers... Sometimes it stopped games / updates from loading if the server was too busy (since it couldn't switch to an alternate), but when it would download it'd be Unmetered Data.

Not sure if that's still a thing... but yes, Bigpond, Internode, etc do run some steam content servers to reduce traffic

lol how goes that voip when users are downloading / uploading simon?
