[QUOTE=killerteacup;27949984]TPG is the best we can get.[/QUOTE] TPG doesn't have unmetered steam downloads as far as I know. Croc o' shit.
I'm with iinet, they're not bad.
Feels good having unlimited access to the net.
I'm with Internode. Free Steam downloads, unmetred content for quite a few sites with useful software related such, and we've got fibre to the door.
Tpg is good with downloading, But playing american server games are annoying, Might go with internode for gaming instead.
your overseas latency will be the same it would be a wasteful and foolish change
Go read up on what PING is, Raptor lol
Optus is being a bit shitty at the moment, not loading images very well.
[QUOTE=sltungle;27948747]Lay off the alcohol for a while then. Don't drink anything too strong, and if you do, don't take swigs from a bottle because then you don't know how much you're actually drinking. Use shot glasses, then you can give yourself some kind of basis of comparison. I try never to go past about 12-15 standard drinks because that's about as far as I can go before I'm at my 'tipping point' (where I go from feeling fine and remembering 100% of the night to... missing chunks of my memory, and puking everywhere). And yes, being drunk to the point at which you puke and forget stuff DOES suck. I'm going to try to never, ever, ever get to that point again in my life. I hate it. It's not good for you in any way shape or form and it makes you feel like dying for like an entire day (or longer).[/QUOTE] The thing is, by some awesome trick of genetics and the fact that I drink a lot of water when I get home after a night out, I never get hungover. Even after my 18th, which is completely blank, I felt fine the morning after. Throwing up does suck but I've only done it once. I haven't actually passed out either, but the reason I don't remember my 18th is because I drank Bacardi Rum straight from the bottle. I thought it was only 35% but turns out it's 65% :3:
[QUOTE=killerteacup;27949984]TPG is the best we can get, in some areas you can get unlimited ADSL2+ Broadband. But we haven't moved onto optics until the national broadband network is finished. Its pretty shit. And the lack of decent servers is shit too. Only the big commercial games built for multiplayer really get servers. The only server company that promotes popular mods is 3FL.[/QUOTE] Tpg aka speed rollercoaster. I'd rather reliable speed with a cap I never hit than an unlimited connection I can't use
I feel like studying in Australia when I'm done with highschool(and the army). Not too expensive either.

[QUOTE=Carne;27951388]I feel like studying in Australia when I'm done with highschool(and the army). Not too expensive either.[/QUOTE] You're Norwegian? I'm Scottish and the climate shift from Scotland to Australia nearly fucking killed me. You're gonna find it EVEN WORSE than I did.

2 weeks in Greece didn't feel that hot. The temperature stayed at 30-35C most of the time.
I can't wait for Winter, instead of being hot, you will be cold.
I'm going to leave on a trip to Australia on Saturday. Any tips? My friend's only tip was that while rooting in Europe and America means "cracking" an Android phone, there it means having sex. :v:
Where you going?
Rooting is having sex, a fanny is a vagina, someone calling you a cunt is a normal insult and everyone will make fun of you for being from another country but no-one will mean any of it. Welcome to our country where we take the piss out of everything.

[QUOTE=mr apple;27950981]Go read up on what PING is, Raptor lol[/QUOTE] My mate who has optus gets 160ping on certain american servers but somehow gets shit connection with jap servers. I don't even understand that, And yes i know what ping is, just tpg keeps cutting out at certain times and other ridiculous shit so i feel like changing.
[QUOTE=Toshinden;27950102]A friend from Brisbane went missing after the floods. Goddammit. I was supposed to visit next month.[/QUOTE] Even if that's true, why are you pissed off? You should be sad... Also, no one from Brisbane is missing... out of the 7 that remain. Oh Facepunch.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;27950202]IIRC ~$150 a month for the home phone + the internet[/QUOTE] Phone line - 40 bucks because we aren't listed in the phone book, would be 30 otherwise 50 bucks for 100gb net, no on peak off peak, no upload limit
Mine internet is with Virgin Broadband. And I get 2gb of internet and phone line for $60 a month. It's an absolute rip off. But my mum won't change it.
Oh wow that made me feel a bit better But like I said before, if the amount of internet gigs I have is my main concern life is pretty good imo
I can't wait for the Australian NBN to be done.
The Aussies are awesome.
