Why good recovery points are worth it

Good reminder of us poor guys on dialup Steven. I have never achieved 56kb/s except in centre city on the laptop. Usually sub 30kb/s is the normal. Hope to be ISDN soon at up to 128kb/s. Awaiting Telstra.

You better post it to me Truckster.

How much reinforcement is required for the chassis and normal tow bar fitting at the rear?
How much at the front too?Regards

My nephew and I have our own computer company

Part time (after hours) and I will give all you lads the real drum
no provider will give you 56 all the time very rarely as when too many people are on you will get packet loss at full speed but if they drop the speed 2 to 4 k you will not normally

ps they will never admit thisCBS

Frank, am interested in your comment. The modem conect speed is one thing I know and it varies with the modem from 24,400- 28,800 and occasionally 31,200 with the lap top but has been below that too, to occasionally 33kb/s for the incomputer for the desktop. Is about 12 kms from an exchange.

Packet speeds frequently are non-existent dependent on load of the net I guess. Vary from 1.4 to just over 3 kb/s on a "normal" operating speed.

My son has got a faster download through using his mobile at 9600!! I guess it depends where ith ISP sets the priority.

I hope I get better responses with the ISDN as a friend does locally. They will need to install a repeater I understand.Regards

Frank, I have had some pretty good modems here and none better than than the line quality will permit. That has been 31,200 and occasionally 33Kb/s. One line a lot better than others. Willem has it a lot faster than my dialup line.

Cable is not available believe it or not is not available here and satellite is not much advantage til you get the expensive ones two way and higher grade. Regards

Gee Willem,

That is almost the exact script of Truckster's clip only it involves a large Yank ute and a boy racer sports car stuck in a snow drift. Tug, Tug, RIP! Very entertaining though.

My 84 min download estimate is based on the industry standard of about 6mins per megabyte. Your link must be a little slower again. As the guys posted above - no-one ever gets a true 56kb/sec link. This is only the max speed of the dialup technology. I mostly get about 42-48k when I use my Optus Dial-up if Telstra Cable is non-functional (happens from time to time).

BTW, I just had a read of your web site diary of your CSR trip. Sounds like heaps of fun but alot of hard work too! Must have been a worry only having 7 litres of juice when you got to the fuel dump. I like your descriptions of some of the interesting characters you met going the other way (read - idiots). Imagine pulling a trailer of furniture through there. Wonder if they made it?

Very entertaining reading.

This pic will have to do till then. Can't wait!!!

Have a closer look Steve, I think it was staged, but went wrong, he could have driven out forward...

G'day StevenL,

I run a separate phone line for my dial-up and it only gives me 44,000bps. Then my missus' computer is in her studio down the back of the block and I run a cable to it and it drops down to 32,000bps. My normal phone line gives me 52,000bps. At one stage I cornered the local Telstra bloke in the main street and he said "You're lucky.....Telstra only guarantees 19,000bps". So.. go figure.........The only other connection we can get here in the sticks is ISDN but it is around the same cost so there is no real advantage except speed of connection.

Yep, our Canning adventure was one of a kind. Throughly enjoyed it but won't do it again. Planning a trip sometime this year out to the Western Deserts probably in August/September....will see...........

Cheers
Willem
