the only reliable isp i have seen deliver 100/40 on any type of thing (fttp,hfc stuff like that) Is my republic. basically always within 90mbps download and 30 upload. 

Yea that picture of an internet plan is my republic. Biggest issue they had was people using existing routers and only getting 500-700 Mbps not the 950+. I've actually tested a my rep business plan on 1Gbps/1Gbps and boy does it get it, even all the way to Aus test servers and around 700 to USA.

Also iiNet is (was before they were bought by TPG) pretty reliable in terms of speeds, I always got 90mbps download and 30 upload except in the occasional youtube vid. Now they are kinda average, I hear telstra is now the new iiNet in terms of reliability but has the worst support. Never heard of my republic until now lol

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

ᴾC SᴾeCS ᴰoWᴺ ᴮEᴸoW

Spoiler

Desktop: X99-PC

CPU: i7 5820k

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

They are new, even in NZ. They came from Singapore so they know what good internet is and what bullshit is.

From what I understand they're pretty uncontested though in terms of bandwidth which means you'll get what you pay for
