One big 8kw and a 3.5kw for nowMitsubishi electrics with 5year warranty for $5800Bit higher price as I'm having the outdoor units opposite side of the house, so longer pipe runs I spent a lot extra in the build on insulation so I reckon a couple splits will be able to keep the house comfy pretty easily Also it actually costs a lot more to have a single out door unit and multi indoor units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think brivis is the first. look into that. keeping the unit out of the sun should make it more effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 1m 11d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 08/01/17 05:31 AM Share Posted 08/01/17 05:31 AM Since I finally got ADSL connected at the new house two days ago I decided I better run a cable properly instead of leaving it like this to get shut in the garage door and chewed up Made use of the extra garage wall plate that the builder had to fit for when NBN eventually arrives in 50 years. Also got the shortest length of phone cable I could to the modem to maximise sync speed Had opted for conduit on the solid internal walls with blank plates which made life easy! No shortage of cable either (pings haven't changed at all thankfully). Looped it around a roof beam to keep it overhead on the way over to the conduit pipe. The PC is against the outer wall though and those don't have blanks - I'd rather let a pro drill and fit a network plate as needed. Instead, I ran a cable straight from PC to modem though a blank plate (hole saw mod) on the next wall. It will do nicely though until we get a sparkie in one day to fit the fancy lights etc At least this way I am not surfing over wifi and the cable isn't a trip hazard and being crushed by the door! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am not sure if you are aware but since it looks like you used a long patch lead with pre terminated ends I would refrain from having that cable terminated into a proper RJ45 outlet as it is likely stranded copper instead of solid copper. basically just poke it through one of the gang holes on a standard plate when you eventually get a few more proper cables put in.

Tiling we want is like 17 to 20 grand so it's going to be a few years of concrete floors :/ Could run nines for that these days hahaha Edit Oh and yeah the 20m cable is temporary but will likely live there for a long while...sync was 7616kbps if I recall correctly. Upload only 384kbps, seems I've maxed out the ADSL 1 port and I'm 4.5km by road from the exchange. Advantage of semi rural - thicker copper wire used for phone lines = less attenuation as you know, so in human terms it effectively acts like a shorter cable would in the suburbs speed wise. Best "real world" result from speedtest.net was 6.9Mbps A.K.A. roughly 750KB/second so about 0.75MB (Megabytes) a second. Don't you just love computer metrics...
