  • Understanding download speeds?

    Okay so im with TPG as my ISP and i live in sydney with a naked adsl2+ package, and i live roughly 4kms away from the exchange (cable distance) and based on speedtest results im getting :

    Ping: 40ms

    Download Speed: 3.72 Mbps

    Upload Speed: 0.85 Mbps

    I game, my brothers game and we all download and that connection is just simply to slow to support our needs. However my girlfriend lives on the other side of sydney, and her brother games and she can download a movie in 20mins while he is playing cod and will not get any lag. Im not sure as to what type of connection she could have because she has no clue. But she is with telstra as her isp and lives 4.5km away from her exchange (cable distance) so i asked her to run a speedtest and her results were:

    Ping 8ms

    Download speed 49.89mbps

    Upload speed 2.23mbps

    Which is insane. I checked if the NBN has been rolled out in her area and it hasnt. So she is certainly not on the NBN i just want to know what type of connection or service or plan or whatever its called could she have to gain those speeds? assuming her family doesnt pay a fortune for it.

    Thank you :)

  • Is the morning after pill effective while on period?

    So Saturday night I had sex with my girlfriend wearing a condom while she was on her period (get over it it's not that gross). Unfortunetly the condom broke and I finished inside her. And I know you can still get pregnant while on your period so the next morning (Sunday) she took the morning after pill. This is also the day that she finished her period. So I'm not 100% sure if the morning after pill was still effective or not. Because today (Wednesday) she complained about having to pee every 20mins which is an early sign of pregnancy. However she also just started a new medication that can make er urinate more frequently (Zoloft) and today is her second day taking it. So the bottom line is, would the morning after pill still had been effective when she took it? Because it wasn't even 18hrs after inter coarse that she took it. And I'm really freaking out thank you in advance

  • Im 18 And Have Little To No Sex Drive?

    Im an 18 year old male, i drink and smoke socially, no more than 4 or 5 cigarettes a week, and drink every now and then (not every weekend) i weight 64kg and am around 185-187 cm tall. At the start of the year i was a crazy sex obsessed teen. However recently ive noticed something isnt right. im not getting the urges i used to ie to masterbate or watch porn i dont even check women out as often as i used too. And the only thing that has changed in my life is ive been working which has caused abit of stress but nothing to dramatic. Ive never had sex however ive been experimenting with this girl im seeing and i just find it downright difficult to maintain an erection. Recently i was getting oral from her and i just went flacid. I can get erections i just have difficulty maintaining them. I am uncircumcised and still wake up each morning with an erection so i guess thats good, and i get another one or two throughout the day, so im guessing it might be because of mental issues. Could stress cause me to lose my libido? i do get nervous when engaging in sexual activities but i always have and i guess its to be expected. So could you guys guess as to what it is i do experience abit more stress than earlier in life so that might be it and i think i should go and get my testosterone levels checked. im also considering trying horny goat weed to see if that helps.and if i do have low testosterone how do i boost it? Im just really worried i dont want this problem at this age....

  • Not Getting High Of Weed?

    So i was overseas with friends and we decided to smoke weed, it was my first time and it was at a party where idd been drinking and gottern to the "spinning" or "tipsy" faze so i wasnt drunk. Which is when we decided to go for a walk and smoke it. The joint got passed around and i got about 4 drags. We then went back to the party and all my mates were baked as **** and had the blood red eyes and ****, and i was fine, my eyes didnt have a hint of redness and the only thing i felt was things were slower abit but im not sure if that was the weed or alcohol. After 3hrs i went for another walk with another group from the party to try again and this time whenever i took a drag i held it in for as long as it could (before i only held it in for like 2seconds) i got 5 drags this time and again nothing happend? But everyone else was once again high as a plane and im there not feeling anything from the weed.

    Does anyone have any explinations? i know my technique wasnt right the first time since i didnt hold it in for long enough but the 2nd time around it had to be right. And yes i was breathing it in completely and not doing a bum puff. (And no one remind me the consequences or tell me drugs are bad im old enough to make my own decisions and youre not my mother.) Can someone help me figure this out? thank you :) Am i immune to the effects of weed? or anyone else have simmilar stories?

  • Why would the Devil punish you for doing his work?

    NOT TROLLING, but essentially God and the Devil are enemies? and the Devil wants to see the world burn? So therefore if i was to do hes deeds by being evil and etc Why would i get punished after death if im helping him out? Would he think im his bro and we would chill together in awesomeness for all of eternity? And if he does punish people after death isnt he essentially a good guy? Its like saying the legal system is evil for sending people to jail, which it isnt its good? Stalemate christians.....

  • Gay Marriage Rights vs Christianity?

    hello, firstly i would like to say im not gay i however do support the equal rights marriage movement and believe it is something that isnt gender restricted. The church says marriage is between a man and a woman which is fair i mean its stated in the bible, but what i dont understand is various other things are listed in the bible which christian choose to ignore showing they just pick and choose what they think is right. Like the bible say you shouldnt eat shellfish, slavery is fine (not supporting but saying there is nothing wrong with it), or if a girl isnt a virgin on her wedding night she should be stoned to death at her father doorstep. So if the church is willing to fight against marriage rights why arent they declaring a war on shellfish, bringing back slavery or trying to stone women who arent virgins before marriage? I see that as very morally incorrect claiming to be doing gods work when not completeing the full of what he say? (not that i want slavery or stoning of women etc etc) And ive heard that christian say the bible got these things wrong so then chances are it got something like human sexuality wrong if it cant nail what we can and cant eat? So my question is why pick and choose and why deny people of happiness?
