Marty's aussie minorating public servers

The update time/cycles from N to C/B etc are a $%^$.
I've tried to get a few people to join and it always takes a full 24 hours from being ranked N on a non AU server to being shown as B/C on Martys AU servers.
The only thing you can really do is tell people to be patient and come back tomorrow :/ lol

 

Hi Marty,

The server still only has 6 laps maybe if you're not busy tonight or tomorrow could you change it please to 10.

Hope to see you online.

 

Disagree LTD

 

Will do soon, I will rs all servers as I am downloading VIR and will put this up in some combo. Been waiting for this track to hit 1.0 for 2 years already and they day has come.

Not sure exactly how long it takes but shouldnt be that long, if you ever have friends recently graduated to proper MR and cant get in let me know and I can refresh MR manually when I get a chance.

 

I was kinda implying the "come back in 24 hours" as meaning to tune in again tomorrow, at the same bat-time, same bat-channel, because it's mostly going to take a while to update.

 

Looks like I won't be connecting for approx 15 days... I hate Telstra and the BS internet caps.

Here’s a summary of your usage and plan allowance
Your data usage so far: 50654MB
Your monthly data allowance: 50000MB
Your data allowance will reset on: 24/09/2016

 

That sucks, Dodo kind of sucks but at least I get unlimited bandwidth.

 

Internode is also unlimited now, Rudski.

 

Yeah unfortunately the problem is a bit deeper.

In some suburbs ISP's build their own exchanges and in others they install their equipment in Telstra exchanges. In my area we only have Telstra exchanges.

The problem compounds because essentially legislation requires Telstra to allow other ISP to install their equipment into Telstra exchanges if room permits.

See the "if room permits" part of that requirement?
Sound fair doesn't it? Because it wouldn't be fair to make Telstra expand all the current exchange throughout the country which by the way is a lot, so the agreement struck between the Government and Telstra required them to only allow other ISP equipment if room required.

So what did Telstra do in not only my suburb but other suburbs as well?
They built the exchanges to the requirements for only their equipment and future growth, the legislation doesn't require them to build larger exchanges to accomodate sufficient room for other ISP's equipment. This effectively locked out ISP's from the easier option of simply installing their equipment along side Telstras. That move now requires the other ISP's to now either all work together and build a "common exchange" or build separate exchanges in every suburb, in many cases multiple exchanges are required for a specific area. It's not cheap.

So in my suburb not a single person can get any other ISP service except for Telstra, by the way that's approx. 20,000 houses and approx 56,000 people.

I have no other option but Telstra due to the configuration of the exchange, I tried TPG, Dodo, Internode and even Optus, not a single company could service me in 2014. Ohh and my suburb is approx 15 years old.

I was on the $149 dollar plan which was 500 gig but now that I only pay $69.95 I only get 50 gigs.

I hate Telstra with a passion.

 

Where are you located, Rudski? I pay around £46 per month for a fibre broadband line with unlimited data allowance, and the connection is rock solid.

 

Australia my friend, the backwater of the internet.

 

To be fair, you seem to be a bit unlucky. My situation is basically the same as Christopher's one. But yeah: Australian internet is not great.

 

Bit of a side track, but do you have Netflix Rudski?
Telstra bumped up users (that I know) download limits once Telstra noticed the household was using Netflix.

 

Hi Rolz,
Yes I am on Netflix. I didn't know they even offered that. Ringing now Thanks mate.

 

Rolz, you are a legend my friend.

I called Telstra just then, spoke to sales and threatened to cancel my account, because all I did was watch Netflix for 15 days and I'm capped and I wasn't going to put up with being capped for 15 more days.
They put me through to the "saves" department.
The guy from that department offered for $10 dollars more 500 gigs additional download capacity. YAY.

I'll cya all online tonight

Thanks again for the advice.

 

glad to hear ur back online

 

We had a few in that server earlier tonight, I have ended up adjusting it to AB only as a few too many t1 heroes were in but saw quite a bit of that in the xgn.com.au tuesday practice server which I am now experimenting at MR A and league whitelist only. That is assuming you are A or B grade atm so if not I will need to lower it back down again as it was your server suggestion after all, the thing is overall the racing was not too bad just some seem too keen at the start especially those that cant manage to run close to others without hitting them.

I assume your racing under Phil, so your time is not too far off but like most seems your using a fair bit less aero. I just ran my old setup from back in the league run there along time ago with my server in ptracker if you run the app.

Not a fan of open wheelers in Pub servers, cemented my opinion last night.

My thoughts is if they are on Pub servers then damage needs to be reduced, just a bump stuffs times.

Also not happy with my old setup, might spend some time starting from scratch... now I know slightly more than what I did with the old ones.

I'm motivated now. Bring it on! Nice lap btw.

You wouldn't have the telemetry for that lap would ya?

 

ohh I just noticed there's plenty of differences. My lap track temps were 29 yours 22. You used S tyres and I use M tyres.
I am still waiting for the connection to be finished (still capped) and ill do it offline at that track temp.
