Date: July 1, 2006, 9:26 p.m.😕 Does anybody have an idea if or when we will be getting ADSL2, Because cable & adsl is how do we say.. not quite good enough for me, espically when your downloading files that around 4.7gb 😢

Date: July 2, 2006, 2:25 p.m.Ok well since nobody has a idea, im thinking we wont be getting it at all..
Rough Notes:
Different modulation. ADSL2 uses a "16-state trellis filter and 1-bit QAM constellation" to improve datarates on high SNR links, Also has Line Bonding for higher data rates 😂, and variable length framing information, which can be used to reduce overhead in low-performance (<128kbit) connections 😯Ahh id only dream on having ADSL2

Date: July 2, 2006, 2:38 p.m.Yeah, I've read about ADSL2 before, but like you said I have no idea when it's coming to NZ either.
Has anyone heard about Internet 2 by any chance? At the moment it's still a research project and gets mentioned from time to time on Slashdot when new record speeds have been hit. Last time they were talking about being able to transfer a DVD in under a second, not sure if they meant single or dual layer DVD's, but 4.7Gb/sec is still a dream.
Internet 2 will be the day. 😉
Anyway, hopefully ADSL2 will fix this then: Information on interleaving
Hence, I normally uninstall QoS from the network properties, I'd rather have all packets have the same priority than having my network packets prioritised. I've actually found Telstra cable connections to be a bit more responsive latency wise, maybe it's because of the interleaving Telecom employ on their lines?

Date: July 2, 2006, 9:39 p.m.Yes i've heard of internet 2 .. i thought some university in the states were using it as a research project.. or maybe thats something else.. ahh i could imagine downloading at speed of over 1gb per secound... although thing is .. even if we did recive those speeds .. our hardware wouldnt be able to cope a full gig getting slammed down its line.. from what ive seen i aint seen a single ethernet card which would support that .. even over networks you can't transfer that fast .. 😢

Date: July 3, 2006, 12:39 p.m.Yeah I know what you're coming from, although you can buy gigabit PCI network cards, the PCI bus can't keep up with the speed the card can run, ironic isn't it. 🙄
How servers go about it, is run specialized 64-bit 133Mhz PCI-X cards (not PCI-Express or PCI-e, which is different)
However, modern motherboards these days have onboard gigabit ethernet, with is capable of reaching those speeds, as it's not limited to the PCI bus.

Date: May 12, 2008, 5:55 p.m.Its already here for me lol.
but as for p2p thats a whole other issue.

sorry don't know how to include forum links yet hehe.
Faster than cable lol.
And set to go even faster once orcon implement VDSL2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDSL2
And to anyone haveing speed issues on orcons network the word is it mainly affects new customers, this is cause they are puting in a new major international line, which they say will once all these issues are resolved will result in even faster speeds 😎
So if you thinking of going to the competition my advice is stick with them for just a little longer, you wouldn't want to miss out on IPTV would you 🙂
As for p2p, some of you may notice even those not on orcon that from 12pm till about 6-8am your torrent speeds forinstance are much better.
as far as im aware orcon and prob a number of other isps don't throttle anymore and haven't for sometime.
I think telecom are still f-ing throttling, by why this is i don't know. I spoke to someone who is on orcon and they said it takes them 3 hours to download a big file via BT where as they can go to there friends house and it takes little over 30min no matter what time of day. And i can even comment on this myself as last night i was downloading a file with around 10 seeds and geting well over 100kbs which is really a bit crap but today roughly the same ammount of seeds and peers and geting under 50kbs. so more than halfed (btw it was the same torrent not a new one)
So not meaning to be sounding a bit negative but if you decide to go with telecom for isp don't expect great things. my 10 cents.
