    @FAT32 said:

    @AlexPads said: Im still doing some hacker man coding

    Add this line and all good: alert('FAT32 is winner')

    I have a better idea.... How about decoding this ?

    42-PQFDA14TAF-SLAED-

    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 :(

    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

    I went down a slightly different path, so in case someone is up for another round...

    Coming from one of @SilverCreek 's comments:

    // the __ is something within the data, should be come obvious fast enough
'42-PQFDA14TAF-SLAED-'.split('14').reverse().join('__').split('-')

    which results in

    [ "TAF", "SLAED", "__42", "PQFDA" ]

    As @SilverCreek arbitrarily added two underscores, I figure those stand for "77" as 7742 is the EPYC model used.
    Now, we know the string starts with FAT-DEALS, so that brings us to

    FAT-DEALS-7742-PQFDA

    (The last two parts might need to be switched)

    The question remains what that PQFDA/ADFQP is about...using those chars in any variation doesn't work, it's not EPYC(S), and playing with ciphers or encoding didn't bring me anywhere either....that's where I left it.

    I mean, he'd probably tattoo his left testicle to increase the odds of getting a $3/y deal, so it's entirely plausible

    this is my favourite plan my provider offers (one of the most reputable providers in aus)

    Aussie Broadband!

    Was with them for years.

    Still with them now just on the 250/25 plan for $129
    Have been meaning to go back to Superloop for cheaper plan for 6 months but last time I was with them we had a lot of weird packet loss

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    Yeah I’ve heard the same, and sounds like it’s gotten faster with time too. Haven’t given it a very close look yet but. Think I’d need to pay a bit more per a month still to go that way.
