    Setting up ADSL2+

    LOL. I did post on Whirlpool actually. :p However, I really do value your input guys! ^_^ Okay, well here's the update. I did an isolation test, so I just connected the modem via the 15 metre cord to the main phone socket, and surprise! It went up to 11mbps. :) So it's my stupid $3 line...

    Setting up ADSL2+

    Ah, I thought that at first but then I did a speed test - I closed everything else that might be taking downloads. I wasn't sharing the connection at the time either. And according to the TPG Network maps thing, I'm in the red zone, the closest to the exchange. These are the people within...

    Setting up ADSL2+

    Bahaha, all done now. :) However the length of the cable from the socket to the modem is pretty long - like 10/15 metres - which, I'm assuming, explains why I'm not getting blisteringly fast speeds? Would it be worth it to have the modem/router right next the phone socket and get it connected...

    who wishes there were more school exams to do better (apart from HSC)

    I can imagine Asian parents later this year, when our ATAR's come out. "You got 99.95? WHAT?" "But that's the highe---" "No, I don't care, if you listened to us and studied more you would have got 100." "But I CAN'T get over--" "It's always can't do this, can't do that, you bring shame to our...

    who wishes there were more school exams to do better (apart from HSC)

    I only started picking up recently, I did pretty well rank-wise in the trials, so it doesn't do me any justice having a year of shithouse marks. So, moar assessments please. >.< LOL. Asian fail is 95-99% right? :haha: I did an Asian fail but not a proper fail.

    What would be better?

    Thanks for all your responses guys. The thing is, I'm not sure what I want to combine law with, which is why I have those three options. Arts I saw as an easy way to get high marks and then transfer into Arts/Law or something. I'm quite equally open to doing Arts/Ecos/Comm, I"m pretty "meh"...

    Setting up ADSL2+

    Haha, okay I see your point. :p I've settled for the Linksys WAG160N. It's only $154 at MSY. I've found out that I have a 600 series wall socket, so that would mean that I would need to buy a line splitter that has a RJ11 adapter. Then I'd just hook up the phone to the splitter, and do the...

    Setting up ADSL2+

    LOL. Actually, I'm not buying from TPG, its a Belkin N1 Vision Modem/Router from a computer store, I'm planning to go buy it tomorrow, unless you guys could suggest better alternatives? And, yeah I have a landline phone. It's currently connected directly connected to the wall socket. There's...

    Setting up ADSL2+

    Okay so I called TPG and they said the line is going to be activated tomorrow. I haven't bought modem yet and I plan to do that tomorrow as well, it's $280, is that too much to pay for a modem? :S TPG says I need a line splitter (or, they were trying to sell me one) and my friend says I don't...

    School Captains - bonus points??

    Then they should get a point for knowing how to kiss ass and for successfully playing the teacher-student politics game. :p I don't know the systems at other schools but our ballot is a student based thing, anyone who wishes to apply can, you don't necessarily have had to been a SRC member or...

    Thanks TehAzner. That's slightly more reassuring. :p But Alex, after seeing what you encountered, farrrrrkk. >.< I'm feeling empathically disappointed, HAHA =.= No hope arrrghhh.

    School Captains - bonus points??

    I mean, obviously people didn't just stand there if they're Captain. It shows that they did at least something. And even if they didn't really do anything, they're cunning enough to play the politics game and win, by gaining the popularity vote. :haha: Whether it was through cunning school...
