i thought the biggest problem with our net was the connections overseas, i usually get decent speeds on national connections, but shit ones international
[QUOTE=abcpea;42108554]i thought the biggest problem with our net was the connections overseas, i usually get decent speeds on national connections, but shit ones international[/QUOTE] I get terrible connection everywhere. As in, lag spikes, stuttering, spending 20 minutes to load a youtube video in 240p.

[QUOTE=DwarfOverlord;42108557]I get terrible connection everywhere. As in, lag spikes, stuttering, spending 20 minutes to load a youtube video in 240p.[/QUOTE] Make sure you're using a good ISP (like Internode) and an Australian DNS server, since switching my download speed on Origin and XBL has tripled. Edit: Internode are awesome, everybody should use Internode, Internode run native IPv6!
[QUOTE=DwarfOverlord;42108557]I get terrible connection everywhere. As in, lag spikes, stuttering, spending 20 minutes to load a youtube video in 240p.[/QUOTE] That's awful. I have no real trouble with my internet apart from the shoddy Telstra router disconnecting when a particle of dust lands on it but our internet entirely is hardly up to scratch with other parts of the world.
oh no liberals got in the country is literally falling apart as we speak

The true tragedy is that was Kerry O'Brien's last election coverage for the ABC.

[QUOTE=HyperTails;42108620]Oh good I'm not the only one who has a router that randomly disconnects[/QUOTE] I was thinking of getting a new one but my friend told me to wait until the NBN thing was set up. I went with that because I had no idea what it was or what it did. Now didn't that turn out well.
[QUOTE=cartman;42108407][i]Gay marriage is just the fashion of the present[/i] and its pointless putting in fibre optics now, 10 years ago it would be good but now the technological advances will trump it soon.[/QUOTE] boy oh boy
[QUOTE=gerbe1;42108627]The true tragedy is that was Kerry O'Brien's last election coverage for the ABC.[/QUOTE] Awesome journalist, I didn't know he was retiring?
Honestly Liberals would be better with either Joe Hockey or Malcom Turnball as the leader of them now Tony, Tony's a fucking tosspot and Kevin wasn't much better This election had shit house choices, but Labor had a better outcome then the Libs
[QUOTE=cartman;42108407]Gay marriage is just the fashion of the present and its pointless putting in fibre optics now, 10 years ago it would be good but now the technological advances will trump it soon.[/QUOTE] Please do yourself, and everyone on Facepunch a favor and stop posting.

It made fools out of the Australian public and disengaged a lot of supporters from the party. I know it seems like I'm going on a tirade against Kevin Rudd, but as charming as the man is, in office he had bought it on himself.
[QUOTE=cartman;42108407]Gay marriage is just the fashion of the present and its pointless putting in fibre optics now, 10 years ago it would be good but now the technological advances will trump it soon.[/QUOTE] You're seriously a huge wanker
[QUOTE=-n3o-;42108645]Awesome journalist, I didn't know he was retiring?[/QUOTE] He retired from 7.30 a few years ago, this was his last election coverage, I think he's still on four corners.

I would've actually been content with turnbull as PM, sure we would've still lost all the opportunity we had but at least he's a semi-decent dude
What do swings mean in politics? What does it mean when there is a 2.7% swing towards Liberal?
[QUOTE=shackleford;42108678]What do swings mean in politics? What does it mean when there is a 2.7% swing towards Liberal?[/QUOTE] the liberals would've gained an extra 2.7% of votes in a single seat, 100% being the entire population inside that seat.
[QUOTE=cartman;42108407]Gay marriage is just the fashion of the present and its pointless putting in fibre optics now, 10 years ago it would be good but now the technological advances will trump it soon.[/QUOTE] Firstly, gay marriage is a much needed right we've been deprived of for too long, and it is garnering more and more support amongst the Australian public as time goes on. Labor had the right idea of supporting it, and the Liberals would need to support it in the future to keep office. Secondly, if we follow the logic of putting off fibre optics because something better might come along, the Liberals would be doing an ultimate nationwide impression of the Duke Nukem Forever dev team. Just delaying and delaying constantly, hoping we can achieve something even better and not sticking to a set in stone plan. For a Coalition supporter who is insistent that he knows an awful lot about financial management, you certainly lack a lot of foresight.
wow jesus fuck the bogan brigade is out in force in this thread. I am downright embarrassed to have the same flag on my profile as they do.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;42108643]boy oh boy[/QUOTE] For a second I thought his post was a direct quote from Abbott.
[QUOTE=cartman;42108407]Gay marriage is just the fashion of the present and its pointless putting in fibre optics now, 10 years ago it would be good but now the technological advances will trump it soon.[/QUOTE] I can't tell if you're trolling or if you're just dumb.
It's cartman, for people that doesn't know, check his banlog.
Damn, it was a loss for them, to the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party. :| At least it's not Family First.
