coffeebaron: Indeed, I may even flick his name in the draw an extra time :)

Good on you Fraser ;)

I was almost confused for a minute, I didn't think you could still get Jetstream Starter.

I'll chuck in an entry for my sister in law and her family in Hamilton, they have terrrrrrrrrrrible line stats (2-3mb from memory) and I told them to get a master splitter installed ages ago.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

Wish I had seen this earlier!

At work so don't know all the info of the top of my head.

Only info i remember is downstream sits at roughly 12730 kbps

I also have awesome access under my house for the install & would condition that I get to join you in working on the install :) Would have done it on my own but have a baby on the way... does that get another entry ?

For the rest of you who don't want to miss out completely I have good news - a master splitter install for $100. Geekzone users already get a discounted price of $150 (normally $195), so this is very much a once off giveaway price.

- the offer closes 9am Thurs morning - 23-Aug-12
- only one install at this price per Geekzone member (still transferable)
- to take advantage of offer, please send me your contact details, including address via PM no later than 9am Thurs morning.
- travel charge of $25 will apply if you are not so urban

Cheers
Fraser

Thanks so much Fraser! I'm not going to get the option of VDSL here, or UFB for a few years, so it will be good to squeeze the best I can out of what i'm stuck with..

leef: Not sure I know what these numbers mean,
I just know my internet is pretty slow and my numbers are less than most others here.
I think I started researching slow internet at just the right time :)
Good luck everyone, and thanks Fraser... Cool idea!

so it turns out my wiring wasn't too bad, but I still got an extra 15KB/sec to 20KB/sec on the download speed and my 'maximum attainable line rate' is constantly 500kbps higher than it was before, at 9560kbps.

That max rate is still under the 10mbps that I supposedly should get according to the chorus maps, and the actual connection rate of 7456Mbps quite a bit lower, so now that I have all my internal wiring sorted I could reasonably request a check done on the external wiring.

the greatest news is that I also have an extra 11KB/sec on the upload now - it went from a max of 95kb/sec up to 106kb/sec. That will make a *huge* difference when working on documents, uploading photos or doing across the internet backups.

jitter and latency have also improved, so that will be good when I finally get around to VoIP at home.

thanks for the splitter install fraser, and thanks also for attending to my extra wiring requests while you were here!
