3G Speed Test
Well my iPhone is on Optus and most people I know or the things I’ve been reading say that Optus’s 3G network is shit. So I decided to do a speed test and here are the results.
Now this was done inside a shopping centre about 12:30pm on a Friday afternoon. Now as the picture shows, the speed isn’t too bad for a network everyone says is shit.

Say NO to Internet Censorship
All of you by now should know that Australia is introducing internet censorship. Now here in Australia we already pay premium rates for the internet compared to other countries, how can they filter out what we browse. I highly disagree with internet censorship, if I’m paying for an internet service, I expect to get that service, not a service that filters out certain content.
If you agree that internet censorship is wrong, please go and sign the petition. Also fill out the details below and tell as many people you can, vote NO on internet censorship.

Internet Speeds Up!
Well as most of you probably know, I was on Dialup (Yes, that connection still exists). I just got connected up to ADSL yesterday 
It’s only a 8000/384 connection due to my line being on a RIM, so no ADSL2+ for me, even thought it is so much cheaper 
I’m loving the speeds of the connection too, can’t complain. The modem is syncing at 8136/384 so getting good speed, and the SNR is good too. I have downloaded a few gigabytes, and appreciate the free PIPE usage, loving it.
A few mates of mine are with the same ISP I am (ComCen), and shaping doesn’t work, so hopefully I am lucky enough to have shaping not work for me. I’m not too worried about it as I get free PIPE, but would be nice to know it’s like a true “unlimited” connection
