Winsock, trumpet, ATH0 etc - was bloody messy back then lol All I wanted to do was look up porn later that night when the .bmp finished downloading - why did it have to be so hard.

I dont see a problem with fttn except the copper its self as its no longer being replaced so eventually they will have to redesign the NBN network again.

Did a build recently for a mate and it went smooth as butter except it wouldn't POST! just at the moment where I started looking inside the computer my mate suggested that the monitor wasn't set to the HDMI input.....all good. gtx1070/16gb ram/256gb samsung ssd/4tb hard drive haha I forget the processor but its mid to high range. that red sata cable annoys me but you make do with what you have. this is a photo of it still in progress. and hey MBAF, in regards to the FTTN NBN: with my EXFO maxtester 635 im finding that a lot of premises have very good service entering the home and then an electricians gone and done dodgy CRAP like this. Also they used side cutters to strip the black cable (incoming) which crushed the copper wires inside it - boils my blood. Then there is heaps of pits like this around Perth. yellow fence around it and no lid. Edited 14/04/17 11:14 AM by skidxr6t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
