or whats wrong with 1858? that will never need changing

My gut feeling is they will go for the incumbent for another year with dual young vice-captains (JG and JT probably)

Fair enough stinga. Was just clarifying it as much for others who might just think having adsl2+ was good enough

There is ADSL2+ and ADSL2+. Effective bandwidth can vary from <5mbs to the max of 24mbs depending on distance from xchange and line quality That's NOT taking into account server speed/capacity, backend network capacity/congestion and as you said whether the home interface is shared, It can also be greatly affected by what video format/compression rate(codec) it is converted to for broadband transmission by the server I'd like to see some recommended parameters first rather than broadbrush ADSL2 statements

ah! thanks stinga

Out of curiosity, does anyone know the technical reason why this has to an Xbox rather than a PC, or is it just Telstra?

winning style..........please

Thanks Franky. Let us know what results you get if you give it a try-out.

he's still running

I gotta agree. Running at a steady pace in a straight line isn't going to stress a knee as much as match conditions

OK. What effective broadband speed do you need for smooth video I'm on adsl2+ but I get nowhere near max bandwidth despite being close to exchange (plus I have to share with my wife most times) I've also found Telstra video to be problematic. I don't want start/stop, buffering issues

people have back yards these days?

and presumably you also have to have a Telstra ISP Broadband package

That deal has expired McQueen according to the Foxtel website

You are right Thomo. I reread op and it seems I misread it. Apologies to drdrake

Technically not quite right ddr. Its our next pick AFTER the best bid pick. This would only be our first round pick if someone bids a pick LOWER than whatever OUR FIRST ROUND pick will be i.e. a team that finishes LOWER than us on the ladder in 2012 who bids THEIR FIRST ROUND pick Having said that the most likely outcome is that it will be our first round pick as there would be no downside for all clubs to bid their first round pick given MFC have already signed a contract with JV and stated they are prepared to give up a first round pick..

Xbox gaming, visiting inking parlours and looking for schoolgirls around the bayside suburbs Oh sorry ......wrong club.....scratch that

FYI Current costs for Foxtel with Sport (ie AFL Football) $45 base + $16 sport + HD upgrade $10 = $71/month = $852/year Plus OTCs of $100 Installation + $150 HD Upgrade = $250 Total First year cost = $1102 ..........a little more than the 600 talked about!

So we'll make that UHSOBs (earlier) and MHSOBs (later) I know he spent a lot of time at UHSOBs in the ealy days especially disappearing for days on end around GF time a couple more Reggisms "boarders to be bed, visitors to buggary" "the 2nd thing you do after a trip is unpack your bags"

If I was a Melbourne supporter living in the Gold Coast like I noticed you are I wouldn't hesitate I'll goto 16 matches this year, of the remaining 6 possibly 2 will be on FTA as will the finals That leaves 4 MFC games I'll miss unless I buy the Foxtel $600pa deal or join WYL down at the Bentleigh club Additionally I'll get to see a FTA game on Fri. Sat and Sun I doubt my better half would tolerate any more Yes, yes I know there are other benefits (which I don't place a high value on) Each to their own

Yeah. Not sure about the 4kg (but a solid bod) but definately looked taller up close today. I thought Jurrah also looked taller today, standing by the russian there wasn't a lot of height difference (body mass a diff issue though) And finally, the Master looks to have slimmed down but to a weight/body shape that looks just right. Fingers crossed for a breakthrough year

Agreed ddddc. I think we have a gem in the making here, Good footballer, improving athlete, good attitiude

do you just make this stuff up or do you work for Foxtel?

yadda yadda yadda btw Fox AFL is supposed to be ad free isn't it?
