Quick Post,
before this month my d/l speeds on speedtest were.
15-20mb/s download. and 0.5mb/s Upload
now
1-6 mb/s download, and same upload.
had 4 techs sent out, all say "uhhhhh nothing is wrong" when clearly my internet jitter and ping are going through the roof.

getting motorola 3-critical warnings, mostly about DHCP failure.



anyway i have something for optus.........


anyone else getting retarted speeds with optus? or anyone else for that matter.

NOPE optus are awesome, get a new house

yeah virt you know my story im sure, optus is a bitch for me. more so that we have 2 landlines with them (stupid decision by parents) and cant get another ISP without paying $300 to physically install a new line, then another $129 to connect it.
wish they could just sell it to another ISP

i reckon my problem may be more router or modem related. probably modem, may be choking off alot of traffic. i know i get tons of problems with torrents but not so with direct downloads usually. but the kicker is its sporadic and sometimes i get awesome torrent speeds

also sometimes i wont be doing anything other than just having a browser open or on TS and the net will die like 5 times in a row requiring me to reset the router.
so in a few cases its the router-modem config thats fucking up but i dont know whats wrong and ive tried alot of shit over the years to fix it.


optus itself is gay for the other things i mentioned too, which doesnt help. also they gave us the modem in the first place so shit choice by them. faggots.

wish i could get 'node.

yea i remember Dog, my modem shows up with gay errors, i can get ADSL2+ the exchange is 550 m away from my house and will need 950m cable, if i can get a estimated speed better than optus, ill def change.

otherwise im stuck with this fluctuating internet from 15mbs to 1 lol.


P.S no karma i will not get a new house, already tried that, now its time for the modem!

try a different modem, and don't be fuckin stingy. Makes a helluva differeence. My adsl1 Thompson modem gets better sync than my adsl2 netgear one

sorry to bring this thread back to life but....
after 5 techs, countless hours of troubleshooting, i got a new modem and well.....fail, still got fucked up speeds....so i thought id go on whirlpool.
optus rep Ian Thompson told me to email some stuff to him, did so, he reset the provisioning on my modem, did a power cycle and.....vwola! all speeds are back to normal xD

also using a D-Link router on wireless i get 17mb/s cable anywere between 16-20 mb/s xD

good stuff

Ten points

Hello FTW & others.

I am also an Optus customer and am moving to a residence that uses their cable modem service.
I was just wondering if there are any other such users of this product on the forum and what their experience is like.

From what I know, their cable modem product is a differenrt product to their leased lines/ DSL product.

Remember back in the dial up days when poeple would type in a text string to make the conenction more stable..

Now we have adsl2 but still you cockeaters whinge and whine.. I suppose if google put in 1Gbps you would come on here and say oh my settings must be screwed i am only getting .932 Gbps.. how can i tweak my x75689v3.1.2.4 to get that extra speed.. FUCK HEADS

Get a life

Maybe i should whinge about my twin turbo car only getting 206kw from a 2.5 litre engine..

I hate people!

WHen you are paying for 18+ mbit and only getting ~1 something is wrong.

u shuld, git VTEC innit bro!



I hated the dial up days, even when it was basically the only thing you could get I knew it was shit and slow.

Vtec is variable valve timing ? if so get fucked you sill little puppy..

Yes, but can it play crysis

Basically he moved your net to another line, now some other poor person has shit net and he probably just told the tech's to spray some WD-40 into the local node box lol.

I've seen them do it back home, dodgey stuff.

im less impressed you ignored my sarcasm and went straight for the jugular by pointing out the obvious.
clearly you missed the joke

i tried to get you some visual aid to help your tiny brain understand, by finding a youtube vid of a guy on his bicycle where he is peddling alongside a car, and says 'VTEC JUST KICKED IN BRO!' and pedals faster making car noises. couldnt find it however, guess i should have used something else to avoid confusing you.

pauline...ur car is shit brrrrooooo

My car is a wagon (good for carrying flagons)

It has

14 cup holders

7 sun roofs

Auto wireless sync with itunes from garage (yea fuck you homo boy)

turbo's running at 1 bar (1 atmosphere for you cock headed dick jockeys from dumb dumb school a little over 14psi)

4 wheels all of which all have tires on em

I didnt ignore your sarcasm just that most poeple who speak of vtec have honda's and that is just an excuse for being oh so gay...

ROFL .... still getting drop outs stays around 10-12 mb/s sometimes 18-19, then just drops to about 2....but not as frequent. might try the WD-40 trick lol

sounds wierd and dodgy, get the techs to sort that shit out properly that's what they get paid for

When I was having major drop outs Node got me to change the protocol in the modem/router from pppoe blah blah to the VC-Mux setting which seemed to sort things out though I'm only on ADSL 1+, you could always try that and if you got no net then change it back.

Not really a good idea to screw around in there unless you know what you are doing.

Tried some troubleshooting with my router and modem, changed PPOE or w.e it is, also changed some QoS settings see if that helps, even pluged my computer straight to the modem, still retarded internets, 6th tech came out today, he finally found out a problem, the signal was too high, but he couldnt fix it insted he escalated the issue, and one of his supervises are on the issue.
7th tech should be comming out wednsday....well i hope 7th time a charm? lol

there will be a team of nerdy tech's working through the night

put a resistor in the phone line.

lol, i dont wanna have a legal team on my door, finally found out the problem brodm3.vic node is being anal raped from congestion. Im going to notify optus and hopefully theyll un-congest it (:

Dog your missing out bro, Optus finally updated its mofo shit and look at my speeds (:

OMG INFINITY KB/S FULLY SIK MAET!
GIMME SOM O DAT SHIZ

it needs a time elapsed, i want to know how many years it took to download those 2kb

Yeah opus upgrading their plans, 150gb for $60 cable

haha lol, speeds were good for a while stable 20mb/s then BAM! dropped back down to 2mb/s congested nodes suck.

im on the 150gb karma seems pretty sweet, except for my speeds...but still gotta love the infinity speeds xD


edit: got off the phone with optulag, they told me that these new plans are guarenteed better speeds, and according to them, if im getting 1mb/s it will be increased to 10-15 mb/s which is a HUGE increase. so i hope i still get my 20mb.s with an increase to 30mb.s

So im going to be transferred to a new optus plan, anyone with optus MUST have a look at this.

I must have this

The speed tables were a little confusing. Exactly what speeds are you guys are expecting

oh and how much are you guys paying exactly?

some of the guys were getting 90mb/s, just not sure how it will work with my 75-75 plan

Oh okay nice nice. I'd reccomend upgrading ur plan tho. I'm at telstra with 200gb at 100/5mbit plan and I still managebto get capped due to just not realising how much I download simply coz of the speed I'm downloading at.

I am not alone on that plan, my brother also has a pc but we have never capped. If its only a little bit extra like $20 then to me its worth it, unless for some reason it is put onto the cap separately, like only 20gig of the 140gig I got is 100mb/s

Ok ive just gotten off the phone with optus, its called DOCSIS 3.0, and thy will ship you out a new modem for it, its only 15 dollars more(month on contract) then what your paying now (add 15 bux) or 20 bux if its non contract.

i was on the 150gb now im on the 120GB for 65 bux / month.
People that USED to get 10-15 mb/s are now getting anywere between 50-80mb/s

ill post up my speed end of this week when the techs come out

This is what i get on the normal 150gb / normal speed

ill post up my speeds once i get it installed, might be good to also note that the speed is guaranteed to australian content, and not to overseas, tho it still may be increased, "its not guaranteed".

also an alternative way of checking your speed - provided by optus http://speedtest.mel.optusnet.com.au/

Yes, but we dont download as much pron as you sir.

Optus came and installed the new modem today.

http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/919661911.png

i got 120mb/s initially when they installed it - For some reason my router caps it around 50mb/s. nevertheless, its awesom XD

Play online to see the difference

Played cwars, from the 28-60 ping i used to get im now getting 24-30 ping pretty consistent too

If you have bc2 try it on that, 100+ is the norm for ping.

alrighty on bc2 im getting 70-75, everyone else was like 150+ luls

I should get around that number also if I changed, I live close by.

what internet is this.....optic fiber, cable, VDSL 2....WHAT!?!??!

Optus Cable 100mb/s

Yup, tho if ur using a router check your MAX transfer rate from your router, if i connect directly to the Cisco modem i get 80-110mb/s if i connect it to my router i get 50mb/s
