I'm aware that you can diddle IP monikers, and that some posters go to
inordinate lengths to protect their identities, sometimes with good
reason.
But the bald facts are that the vast majority of the trolls/blow in
posters appear to have iinet accounts, located in Brisbane.
No big deal, if this is how these people want to spend their time.
Of course, it does provoke other posters to look at IP addresses when
these same iinet users from Brisbane wage one of their periodic purges
against a poster or two who they suspect of being someone else.
Doesn't it strike you as the teensiest bit suspicious that here on
asrl, the traditional quiet season, 'John Heath', an iinet user from
Brisbane, seems to be attracting some flak over his less than savoury
comments, and all of a sudden, several other iinet users from Brisbane
make unexpected appearances on this group?

I'm presuming that you know that they're iiNet users because their IP
address appears in the message header. It would be quite silly if someone
used a sock and also their usual provider, although that's not out of the
question.
I'm presuming that each of these IP addresses has been unique, due to the
fact that you find it suspicious rather than pointing the finger at any
particular poster. That would suggest to me that they aren't the same
person. If the individual identities changed their IP addresses with
startling regularity, that may nullify my previous sentence.
I'm also presuming that you know that they're in Brisbane because their
system is set at GMT/UTC +10:00. That's a bold yet not unreasonable
assumption, although it takes only a few seconds to change time zones.
That's what I normally do when I post as Cicero or CDK or MonoJoker or one
of my numerous sock puppets.
Perhaps it's a simple case of iiNet's advertising campaign being highly
effective, and posters to asc and asrl being more likely to call their
grandmothers while naked.

At that rate the hardware and setup fees will be recouped within 4 months of

I'm 3.5ks from the exchange so my speeds are nothing to write home about

Yep. Megabits. While they say that ADSL2+ will run at 24Mb/s, they declare
that around 50% of their customers get 10Mb/s or better. I'm just outside
of that but you're a tad closer.
My PC is over six years old and I may get slightly better performance with a
faster machine. When I do a large speed test, it runs very fast but then
almost stops dead just before the end. I'm assuming that my browser is, at
that point, copying the temporary file to the real file in the download
location, which extends the overall time and brings the calculated average
down a bit.
I don't defrag my drives. The primary drive gets overwritten by a Ghost
image fairly frequently, which speeds things up a little bit, but the data
drives only get backed up and have been accumulating defragmentation since
the year dot.
The processor is only an AMD 2400 or somethingorother, which is equivalent
to a 2GHz Pentium, and I only have 512MB of RAM. When I bought it from
Hardly Normal around Christmas 2002, it was an obsolete yet pretty good
machine. Now it runs like a dog! One of those rumbled dogs like on the
toilet roll commercials!!

This site is pretty good for a speed test http://www.speedtest.net/.
I have 2 GB of RAM and a pretty fast chip but the speed was a lot slower
before I got a new modem. Also the amount of traffic affects the highest
speed I can get.
Lawrence Logic
Great link. Thank you for that.
I had varying results. When I initially clicked the link and did the speed
test in Chrome, it said my download was 5638kb/s. After rebooting, waiting
for the PC to settle, and then entering the URL into Firefox without running
anything else, it said that my download was 13376kb/s. A strange comparison
considering I used a different browser, but I haven't gotten around to
stopping Chrome from being the default. It's a lot of hard work and would
take several seconds to complete.
Anyway, you can see the before and after results at
http://crockershit.com/stuff/speedtest.pdf if you're interested.
Strangely, my upload was actually slower on the second test.

I (finally) got iinet connected a few weeks ago. Didn't know the VOIP

I haven't got around to getting a SIP-enabled router yet.
So the call quality is good?

=============================================
Not sure why, but your post won't indent for my client (OE).
Beware having expectations of reasonable connection times with iinet. It
took them weeeeeeeeks to sort me out. I had a bitch to a mate in WA and he
laughed and said they were the same over there - took him three months(!) to
get sorted with them.
They don't ring you if there's even the slightest problem with processing
your application, and they wait for you to call when the expected connection
date is well and truly past. At this point, your connection application
starts again. From the start. No, they can't bump you ahead. They're sorry,
sir, but it's Telstra's fault.
I have heard that Telstra like to be as big a pain in the arse as possible,
and torpedo any work they do on behalf of other carriers, as often as
possible. Check out the Whirlpool fora for experiences with the various
ISPs.
I was with Optus for cable, having left my lovely wife to look after our
connection when we moved house. Pretty expensive, Optus cable, so we decided
to change. Well, Dodo's offer sounded awesome, so I gave them a go. Big
mistake. After several weeks of dicking around I cancelled the order.
I had already rejected TPG because I'd have needed to get a new line
connected, because TPG requires a Telstra connection and my line was not one
which could be ported. In the end I had to do that anyway to get iinet.
You'd think they'd understand the process of connecting a line to get naked
DSL. Well, most of them don't.
"So you want the phone connected too?"
"No, it's naked DSL."
"Oh, we have a problem. This order includes a phone line to be connected."
"That's because I had an Optus line, and there's no porting agreement
between Optus and iinet. I have to have a new line connected, but then
disconnected, to get naked DSL."
"Oh, wait. There's a problem. Your phone line is to be disconnected."
"That's because it's a NAKED DSL CONNECTION ffs..."
Bear in mind I had to call them several times because deadlines were missed.
I had a very similar conversation to the sample one above on each of these
occasions...

yeah, these sites, and there are several, are not quite right....learn
to use ping and get the mtu set correctly, before that, login to your
router, that will tell you the exact connection speed....also have a
good read of Whirlpool, especially Line Attenuation and Signal/noise
ratios.....all very geeky, but helps to tune it up a bit to the
max.....
iinet users can of course, go into the Toolbox and select the higher
speed, but I found it got more lost packets, thereby lowering overall
speed.

No chips here. I treat people the way they behave and if that post I was

You clicked the link to the PDF file with screenshots of the comparison of
speed tests that I did, but the transfer was incomplete. I was just curious
as to what happened. In the event that a download fails, I have an inbuilt
need to know why. The server alerted me to a problem.
Considering the fact that the file was uploaded primarily for you to view,
the fact that it was reasonable for you to do precisely that, the fact that
your IP address is public by virtue of you posting via your ISP's news
service, and the fact that a request from your IP address appeared to fail
before being completed, I just thought I'd ask what the problem was.
Others have successfully viewed the file. Your attempt apparently failed.
Did something go wrong?

The speed that I got when running the speed test is only valid when I've
rebooted the PC and don't run anything, save for the browser required to run
the speed test. As soon as I run a couple of programs, the whole thing bogs
down. I think I need a new machine with at least the 2GB that you have. I
remember laughing at someone who had 64MB of RAM many years ago because that
was bigger than most hard drives back then.
As for the email address, I have, myself, used som...@microsoft.com in the
distant past. That's the only email apparent to me, and that's the email
address in your posts. I figured that there was no point sending a message
to that address.
I apologise if my usage of the term "download" implied more than you simply
displaying the file that I posted. I only quizzed you about it because of
the apparent failure and you being the only intended audience. The fact
that it actually displayed successfully is more than interesting. According
to the server log, it didn't. Methinks the server may need a clout about
the head.

analogue phone is required for iinet, plugged into their adaptor...you
dont need their router, but it has a nice touch, it gives more net to
the phone.

I'll have to check out their doco again - I'm certain it said I needed a
SIP-enabled router and I know mine hasn't got any SIP configuration pages on
its http interface. I doubt QoS will be an issue for me, since we're rarely

Perhaps Mr. Orwell or his cousin Nomen will figure more prominently.

Huh?
I only got into asrl via the crossposting dickheads from Brisbane who
were taking the piss out of the death of Ruud (which, incidentally, I
first learnt of via rss. It got to rsc a bit later). My interest then
got piqued by 'John Heath' who seemed all too closely involved in the
sad postings. He accused me of being a sock puppet (Dave Stewart), so
I asked him about his own history. He assured me that he'd only ever
used two other names (Mellita and Slippery Sam). When I noticed the
similarity to 'Max Power' on rsc, he gave me the excuse that he'd only
been referring to asrl and he used a different name on rsc as he only
wanted to discuss cricket and not upset anyone. When it was pointed
out that he'd been using extremely coarse and offensive language to
some of the posters there, he plonked me.
Then changed his name to Here's Johnny.
He should have changed it back to Wog George.
Anyway, I'm not too fussed by ISP changes or even name changes (nor do
I really know too much about it), but I found it rather ironic that
Moby and a few others had started a campaign before Xmas to 'expose'
me as a sock puppet of Jellore, based on the fact that we both used
Telstra (even though Jellore posts from Cowra and me from Sydney). In
the time honoured tradition of rsc, the continual repeating of a lie
started to see it accepted as a fact, especially by the Brisbane
mafia.

So instead of buying Xmas presents for your grandkids, you spent
thousands of dollars on a private detective, and this is the best you
can do?
You sure are an easy touch.

As far as anyone can check these things online, my understanding was
that Ruud passed away on 20th Jan after a long battle with the Big C
(so did another acquaintance of mine yesterday, but that’s not
relevant here). I first became aware of it via rss, I have no reason
to doubt the authenticity of the news; I think someone posted the
death notice from the Tele. Many people on the various groups Ruud
frequented posted their condolences.
What irked me (and appears to have started this current spat) was the
distasteful Borked Pseudo Mailed/Nomen Nescio/George Orwell cross-
postings from asrl (which is what led me here in the first place)
poking fun of the event.
Your acquaintance ‘John Heath’ (and I’m assuming you know each other,
going by your recent exchanges) appeared to know something about the
provenance of the anonymous poster, as did Oswald P. So I asked a few
questions.
I’m not that familiar with who is who here, or what history the
various posters have, but John Heath discredited himself (at least in
my eyes) by making a number of claims that didn’t stand up under even
rudimentary research (the number of names he’d used in the past, his
reasons for posting to rsc etc). And I’d initially took his replies at
face value. In short, he came across as being ‘economical with the
truth’. And when I eventually called him on it, he became abusive,
made counter-accusations against me, plonked me and then changed his
name again (John Heath->Max Power->Here’s Johnny in double quick
time).
Perhaps I’m wrong here, and you have the advantage of knowing a few of
the people involved, but hardly surprising that I found ‘John’ to be
more than a bit suss. Several posters here seem, at least to me, know
more than they are letting on.

Hmmm.
Usenet is, by and large, populated by disparate entities from all over
the globe, loosely bound by a common (!) interest in a particular
sport. Lot’s of name calling, skiting and exaggeration often ensues,
which sometimes gets a bit out of hand. (I might add that I’ve never
threatened anyone physically, or threatened to report them to
employer/ outside body etc, even though I’ve had my share of flame
wars).
What appears to set you Qld boys apart is that you all appear to live
in close geographical proximity, some of you appear to have gone to
Uni together, and some of you have formed a cricket club together and
socialise. Or so I understand. Nothing wrong with that, and actually,
good luck to you. And hardly surprising that you stick up for each
other and support each other. But again, what am I to think when I
bring up what I think is a reasonable objection, and all of a sudden,
virtually every member of the QCCCCC seems to running around on asrl
during the off season.
Enough to make one think that most of them are the same person!
And as for the comments Johnny directed at the (admittedly crazy)
Indian poster, if I’d have come out with stuff like that, I reckon you
guys would have been all over me like a rash.
Perhaps that’s enough from me for the time being

Good lord. You lot don't just feed trolls over here, you take them
out to dinner and order the lobster.
Had a bit of a look. Seems to me that usenet's not at all healthy for
some - time to concentrate on being a Dad, I'd say. Then again, my
groupie seems to be having fun - and I couldn't possibly suggest we
take away his only validation.
As much as spammers are the internet's cold-calling telemarketers,
sockpuppeteerss are the internet's drunk panhandlers. They bring down
the atmosphere...all of them... and that's saying something given the
ground-state ambiance.
Even Dave has the decency not to stoop to that level. Must be minding
the back.
