Argh .pissed off. Finally got some time to practice and set up my car properly for a race. Had a great Q lap with a pb but after trying everything l could stop random dropouts that l started getting yesterday sure enough first sector got dumped. Grrrr . Rejoined and flogged the car as hard as l could but again dropped out. Going to spend next few days trying to figure it out. Well done to the survivors.

Think I'm going to crawl around 1st laps now, I think the the last few races I've done I have spun on the first lap to only spend the rest of the race trying to catch up. Fun race though first half was trying to catch Mike , with all the drop outs , crashes etc was amazed to finish 2nd. Looking forward to next week ..... Love these cars although this track was a little rough no wonder F1 don't go there anymore.

Ran wide at t1, and cut the track a bit too much and got a stop/go. Unfortunately the stop/go never went away after serving it. A perpetual punishment if You like and obviously a bug of sorts. Not to worry though as I was having driveability issues anyway.
See how next week goes.

Passed Josh into the Adelaide hairpin on the opening lap. Watch as Bwana disconnected and I inherited the lead. I lead for the first dozen or so laps. Got into the Nurburgring chicane a little off line and it was enough to unsettle the car and let Josh through. I shadowed him till pit stops, but he was edging away every lap. Unfortunately I got disconnected a few laps later.
I have a Telstra tech coming out in a week and a half. If they can't or won't fix my problem. I'm fucking moving house.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. I really hate moving, but the iinet tech said the problem is with Telstra. He even walked me to the pit where my connection is bridging with someone else's and loses sync. Unfortunately he's not allowed into Telstra pits. He also said Telstra won't always fix bridging issues.

One reason we dropped iinet after 7 years and went bigpond. No throttling anymore.they have just laid fibre optic cable through our neighbourhood, connection in the next 6 months is the word.

I have been with Westnet / iinet for 15 years and they have been nothing but good to me. This is me and them v telstra.
Even when the nbn goes in you don't have to be with Telstra. Telstra will also be selling all their cable lines to the nbn sooner rather than later.

I have worked for Telstra. They are not the company they once were. They are the only choice for mobile phones, especially if you leave your local metro area. As an ISP I think they have a lot to answer for when it comes to the way they manage their infrastructure. Ten years ago they would have just refitted the whole pit. Instead I'm dealing with modern Telstra who don't give a shit about maintaining their infrastructure and at best will apply a band aid to this.
