And that's what makes it good. lol
Its the funniest thing to watch, literally shooting someone, not getting points for it then 3 seconds later dying for no apparent reason and watching the killcam and you dont even get a shot off.

living in pyrmont makes up for the reasonably slow internet, come on buddy
I found out my new apartment in the CBD is already pre-wired for Bigpond Ultimate 100Mbps cable goodness :D Can't wait to get over this stupid 5Mbps rubbish. Can't believe people (like me) believe TPG's "over half our customers get 10Mbps or faster" BS which means half of them don't!

Yay, 100+
Could you explain why you get 100+mb while some of us get like 3 mb, yet paying the same lol. is it the distance from exchange? cabel? or do they just pump all the good speeds in sydney CBD

First of all i actually live out west so i'm 40 minutes on a train away from the CBD so that has nothing to do with it, there are numerous reasons for differences in speed which i will list below lol.

1. I use cable, it's faster than ADSL and speed is independent of exchange distance. That would be the reason for most peoples slower speeds.
2. There are a LOT of dodgy exchanges around and the ISPs either don't care or don't know. Look it up, there is no shortage of posts about whole neighbourhoods getting slower speeds than they should be.
3. I dont use wifi on my pc. My dad has set up our network at home so there are no speed bottlenecks - the router and all the swiches + cables are all capable of gigabit speeds.
4. Simply being on a full speed plan isn't neccesarily enough, you need a fast modem. When we upgraded our plan (used to get ~20mbps) Optus also made us buy a new modem since the oldschool motorola surfboard (that was playing up and mostly the reason we upgraded) was not capable of high speeds. Optus should have made sure you have the right modem for the plan but i wouldn't be surprised if some people don't.

oh. The tpg technician came like 20 mins ago. Checked my speed and said I was unlucky because people on the other side of the road get 7+ mb while I get 3 mb because the line goes around the road or something.
fuck this. All my high school I didn't get a school buss pass for living on this street (was just on the 2 km radius) and now shitty internet.
