F*CK NO

Sir, I was bragging, not in need of cope!
Is this because of the weed?
That's for me.
I'mma cope with $3 vps anyway.
Cope anyway
Wish I could COPE like this
Oh my God. Did @SilverCreek finally reveal wt this monstrosity was? I think as a penalty to this crap of a puzzle @SilverCreek must offer 100x7 Dollah deal. @FAT32 @beanman109 @emgh.
Dev said it's not worth his time as well
Nice idea, like this.
Except for 14 or 41 - I decoded most of it. Expecting it to be one of these or atleast close to these :
FAT-DEALS-41ADFQP-42
FAT-DEALS-14ADF-QP42
FAT-DEALS-ADF14-QP42
FAT-DEALS-14ADFQP-42
Missed out on a legendary deal.
While others are having stressful deals, let us have some relaxing tea.
I got that quickly as well but the rest is the hard part
Other than being about $10 or so too expensive on the plan I had (100/40 for FTTN), I’ve never had a single complaint about them. Great provider. I’m no longer with them as I moved to Origin Energy and found out shortly after that Origin’s broadband was actually whitelabeled Assie Broadband. Origin had the same plan for $10 less with 12 months of Paramount Plus, so I switched to Origin who were effectively Aussie still.
Late last year Origin announced they were moving from Aussie as a provider to Superloop. Was originally just going to go back to Aussie for the devil I know, but decided to give Launtel a go which is also rather well regarded. Used them for about a month or two and they were also great and maybe a few dollars cheaper than Aussie, but not by much.
However shortly after found out in the ACT that the old TRANSACT network has been updated to support g.fast on the old copper. Moved to Infinite Networks and getting about 340/45 or so on copper. Since it’s not NBN and Launtel supports it, I also have a line with Launtel that’s simply paused and I can activate the odd time I have issue with the TRANSACT connection. Works as an effective backup.
Unfortunately likely years until I get FTTP. With you being up north, I assume the prospects not much better given QLD drew a short straw on NBN also.
its reverse dutch auction, like reverse cowgirl
Ooooh, so where does the $3 go?
I got HFC at my property in SE QLD, max speed at the moment is 1000/50 which we've had before on HFC but rumours I'm seeing thru AusNOG indicate that NBNco might be bringing higher upload speeds to HFC soon, something closer to symmetrical if not symmetrical around 400/200 - 400/400
@emgh has 3 2 holes for that
Yeah ok. Doing better than me, although others do much worse still. FTTN via NBN but fortunately I can max out the 100/40 for the tech. The g.fast I’m on has much better downloads, with negligible upload benefit. Hasn’t been as reliable but and as a technology it’s very very susceptible to line runs between the house and node.
This makes sense now: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4229980/#Comment_4229980
i've heard surprisingly good things about starlink in australia if you don't mind slight instability for 20 seconds once a day, i've got a friend who maxes out like 300 mbps on it most the time
look i don't mean to slander tashkent uzbekistan but, has anyone actually ever cared about a YABS iperf result from there?
Apart from art hosters?
oh that makes a lot more sense now
well anyways heres a yabs of a $3 per year VPS
