[07:22] <ajmitch> evening
[07:35] <kcj> Indeed it is.
[10:38] <ojwb> is there a site where I can get an idea of what the adsl speed is likely to be like for a location?
[10:43] <Atamira> in nz?
[10:44] <ojwb> Atamira: yeah
[10:45] <Atamira> i dont know of one that does areas you dont live in
[10:46] <Atamira> http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/
[10:46] <ojwb> even just an easy way to find the local exchange would be better than nothing
[10:46] <ojwb> yeah, I know I can pretty easily find what speed I currently have
[11:10] <Atamira> i have no idea if there is such a site really
[14:50] <G> ojwb: for teh morning: http://chorus.co.nz/service-availability-tool will do the Address->Cabinet/Exchange thingy you want
[14:51] <G> ojwb: as for distance, 5-6k of cable distance = 2-2.5mbit/s for me
[19:36] <chilts> morning
[19:36] <ibeardslee> oh yeah morning
[19:36] <ibeardslee> 6:36 here
[19:37] <chilts> heh, I was just wondering where you were
[19:37] <chilts> yeah, guessed it was at LCA
[19:39] <ibeardslee> yeap
[19:47] <mwhudson> good morning
[19:50] <Atamira> morning
[19:51] <ajmitch> morning
[19:51] <ajmitch> ibeardslee: where are you staying?
[20:00] <ibeardslee> student accom BG2-2
[20:01]  * ajmitch is in BG18
[20:12] <hads> morning
[20:12]  * hads is missing out
[20:14] <ibeardslee> we got a freetronics LeoStick in with the conference loot
[20:15] <hads> So I hear, that's neat.
[20:15] <ibeardslee> I'm going to be on the hunt for people going 'WTF, I don't want this'
[20:15] <hads> heh
[20:22] <ajmitch> I'm keeping mine :)
[21:23] <ojwb> morning
[21:23] <ojwb> G: thanks
[22:01] <ojwb> G: is there a way to see the actual location of the exchange, rather than just the area it covers
[22:05] <ojwb> at least for where we currently live (where I know the exchange's location) it isn't very central in its area
[22:21] <G> ojwb: iirc it shows it there
[22:22] <G> ojwb: oh it used to
[22:22] <G> ojwb: does the exchange support VDSL?
[22:22] <ojwb> G: yeah, it does
[22:22] <G> if show, turn on the VDSL2 layer for the exchange only, should be the middle-ish of the Green Dot
[22:23] <G> s/show/so/
[22:24] <G> the other way, in the out and about sense, is just look where all the Chorus vans seem to be heading ;)
[22:24] <ojwb> currently they all seem to be in kelson
[22:25] <ojwb> which is getting UFB cabling right now
[22:25] <G> oh, lucky them...
[22:26] <G> hads: saw your tweet btw, congrats on the addition :)
[22:26] <ojwb> once they stop severing water mains and electricity cables, yes
[22:27] <G> ojwb: here, the council do that for us :)
[22:28] <G> they attacked the underground phone cable to the side of the road, while resealing... which w/ all the rain, seems to have flooded over the 'fix' and is maybe now messing with the cable :(
[22:29] <ojwb> oops
[22:31] <G> ojwb: but yeah, that Chorus page should give you an idea (wish they'd resize the iframe though)
[22:37] <ojwb> yeah, just knowing it has VDSL2 is a good indication I think
[22:42] <G> ojwb: the property you are looking at? lucky :)
