Alright, this post is considered more up-to-date.
I've been getting wireless internet access by walking down to park with the huge TV screen accross from Rise. Decent speeds from a Vivid Wireless hotspot. This is how I'm able to post and do work, so my job now consists of wandering down the road and sitting on a bench with my laptop, alongside countless other people who seem to be either backpackers or uni students or both.
The move is coming along pretty swimmingly as well, we now have a couch, fridge, washing machine, bar fridge, two beds, two bedside tables and some food. We also have Daniel's Xbox 360 connected to his large LCD screen, my computer with the 5.1 surround and my 26" LCD screen (1920x1200 FTW) and Jaynnie's PS3 on my 19" LCD monitor/TV thingy. We're pretty much set. I signed up to iiNet on Friday, so we'll hopefully have internet access mid-week, which will be great for both of us.
The convenience of the place still blows my mind, I've been out to Rise both Friday and Saturday, it's great when it's a 2 minute walk.

So if you like the vividwireless hotspot did you think of vividwireless for the Internet cionnecton rather than iiNet? No waiting for the copper?
ReplyDeleteHi David, thank you for your comment.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the Vivid Wireless is good, I'm currently less than 900 metres of copper from the exchange and would probably be looking at speeds ranging from 15-24Mbps, given other local speeds.
This, combined with the lower latency and cheaper costs of ADSL2+ in comparison with 3/4G wireless systems (in my experience) is what I'm after as an avid gamer.
I also have found 3/4G systems to be more prone to spotty reception and congestion in comparison to ADSL2+ services (I'm saying ADSL2+ so as to exclude congested/capped RIM services).
Further to this, iiNet provides the greatest choices in freezone content for me (Steam content server in my state in particular).
