DaCa: azmarco: please msg me too
eyecue: jesus christ i love internode.
made a plan change last night adsl1->adsl2+, rollerover is midnight tonight, and theyve already made the dslam switch
i 'knew' my IRC messages were downloading faster tonight :D
G: eyecue: wow, thats fast
eyecue: internode are oarsome
seriously
i was loading up apc.com and though to myself *hell thats quick*
G: eyecue: when I was in Brisbane internode didn't have any equipment in my exchange
eyecue: did a speed check and realised i was getting 600k/sec
yeh me too
G: eyecue: Roma Street exchange?
eyecue: and im only on their easy reach (telstra wholesale dslam)
my current exchange is in build for node dslam
few weeks i might be able to switch again :)
G: I had to go w/ TPG in Brisbane, they were okay, but half the battle was getting the phone connected in the first place
eyecue: gah, flaky internets
:|
G: I was originally going to go via iiNet, but they couldn't get Telstra to connect the phone
eyecue: honestly, i cant ever recommend anyone other than node
ive been on dsl1 for 2 years coz i lov enode so much
G: eyecue: yeah, I know plenty of people that love them
eyecue: so the last plan i was on (yesterday) was dsl1 40gb, upstream only
for 69.95
G: $20 for 100GB?
:P
eyecue: current plan, adsl2+ 60gb, upstram only (including power pack for 10/mo) for 59.95
:)
so same price
WIN!
G: don't you mean $10 cheaper?
eyecue: well, the 59.95 counts uploads/downloads
you pay 10 bucks more, it counts down only
and you get a stat ip
G: eyecue: for comparison to NZ...
We pay ~65NZD for ADSL1 (at 2mbit/s), 30GB/mo
~50 AUD
eyecue: hmm
gah
!
and you have translatlantic traffic
fail :)
G: next month, we'll be paying a combined 105 for phone + broadband you can take about $50 off that to take away the phone component, so ~55NZD, for ADSL1 (2mbps) & 40GB
eyecue: oh noice
G: 2mbps is because I live 5km from the exchange :)
eyecue: ahh
im pretty close
G: oh wait, it's only 45 for the home phone, so ~60NZD for the Broadband
so it seems that NZ is cheaper than Telstra wholesale plans?
eyecue: possibly, ish
my prev plan was grandfathered 2 years ago
you get downstream only counted ?
G: nope, most ISPs count both directions
eyecue: but I'm going to be laughing soon
eyecue: ive only ever been on down onlies
G: eyecue: next month (I think) the Rural Broadband Initiative goes live, and if what Telecom has told me on Twitter is true... I should be able to get Fibre to the Door pretty quickly
eyecue: oh nice
:]
G: people that have Fibre running past their property in the RBI areas, can get FTTH
and Telecom happen to run a lot of their Exchange/National backhaul fibre alongside/through our property
eyecue: sexy as :)
G: heck, we aren't allowed to dig in parts of our property without consulting Telecom
but meh, it'll be all worth it if we can really get Fibre to the Door :)
and it'll be much better than the 5Mbps wireless access promised to everyone else :P
eyecue: for what it's worth, I'm still jealous of the NBN :)
eyecue: yeh, its pretty sexy :]
bob^^: they keep promising FTTH in the UK too
FTTC is starting to catch on here, but of course you only get ~40mbit/s with that (and still the same crappy upload)
G: bob^^: FTTC+VDSL?
bob^^: is the C in UK Curb or Cabinet?
***: milki has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
bob^^: cabinet here, G
in areas which are FTTC enabled there's a large street cabinet every few streets in residential areas
then VDSL to homes
G: bob^^: yep, was just checking, because there is also Fibre to the Curb
bob^^: yeah
i think that's a US thing?
G: Australia has it as well
mainly in Canberra
bob^^: this is our only FTTC atm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Infinity
the criticism that wikipedia lists is correct; there are a lot of complaints here about the street cabinets
they are *huge*
the town i live in is 500 years old; they look *very* out of place and ugly :(
G: bob^^: http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/chorus-half-way-through-fibre-roll-out-now-comes-hard-bit-122413 is what NZ has for cabinets
bob^^: G: look about the same as the ones we have - ours are just the same but taller :)
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/193/050ea.jpg/
G: oh, they look like the old style ones here
these new Telecom cabinets here and a nice shade of green
*are a
bob^^: hehe
all of the street cabinets (even the old small voice ones) here are about the same shade of green
toddf: that's just so they can say they are going green
bob^^: hehe
G: in fact, if I was building a house, I'd actually paint the outside in the same Green :)
outside or roof
bob^^: ours have been the same shade of green forever :)
G: depending
toddf: the shade of green in bob's picture is pretty much standard in UK based countries I think :)
toddf: but NZ has chosen a newer darker green :)
bob^^: darker would be better, less obvious :)
G: bob^^: you can kinda tell the shade of green in the picture I sent
bob^^: yeah
defintely a little darker than ours
the new cabs here are quite noisy too
especially in warm weather when they have to turn on the ventilation systems
G: bob^^: old style cabinet: http://chillingsilence.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/telecom-geek-exchange-tour-2009/sdc10908/
new style: http://chillingsilence.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/telecom-geek-exchange-tour-2009/sdc10909/
bob^^: yeah they're very similar to our old cabinets
G: apparently the new ones are really really really quite
bob^^: i hope so
G: hence why they are called either Single or Double Bay Whisper Cabinets
bob^^: the ones here are really bad
if i lived beside one i would be complaining to BT

mabel.insightcruises.com is now replicated to a box in texas, including all the snapshots!
G: hmmmm anyone else noticing IPv6 packet loss?
ahhh actually, might be at he.net
bob^^: i'll check now
seems ok here
G: ahhh yeah, it's the tunnel server at he.net
bob^^: ahh :(
i was going via genuine he.net v6 transit from london :)
G: mtr from my arp box to my tunnels IP, = packet loss at the tserv, mtr from home to arp box, = packetloss at the router after the tserv
gotta love mtr :)
bob^^: mtr is a great little tool :)

pilgrimd: now if we could just get the rest of the internet to do that....
-: up_the_irons nods
koobs: moin
:]
up_the_irons; where do you put your switches in your racks? front back, middle top ?
up_the_irons: koobs: back top
koobs: in the server cabs?
and you trunk cables off to the side then down the vert rail ?
im looking over various schools of though about equipment layout
up_the_irons: koobs: yes, server cabs
koobs: with 4x pdu's per cab, i don't have room for vertical wire managers, so i don't trunk them off to the side
koobs: ive seen some pretty good comments around rear middle positioning, for shorter cable runs and visibility (dont have to get up on a ladder)
up_the_irons: just straight down and velcro'd nicely
koobs: ah ok
and youve got the 1070's iirc yeh ?
up_the_irons: yeah
koobs: side to side fans for the switches then ?
up_the_irons: whatever the switch supports
koobs: oo procurves have a modular fan assembly
