Anyone had similar experiences? Regards Dudley Gager Oh yes Dudley, Plenty of people experiencing the long wait for ADSL Ports. I've got five people, who I have their ADSL Accounts/ hardware etc ready to go but they are all waiting for Telstra to open more Ports. Port availability is becoming a huge issue, and at one stage up to 30%-40% of orders were in held because of poor planning in Telstra's infrastructure, they don't seem to keep up with demand! If there is no room at the exchange, no customers (even Bigpond) are able to make connections, and they are simply put into held (a port reserved though) and we wait until equipment arrives from the US to be installed into the exchanges.

Re: ADSL Availability in Joondalup and Osborne Park
TELSTRA RESONSE TO MY COMPLAINT THROUGH MAL WASHERS OFFICE Dear Gloria (Mal Washer's PA) First, may I apologise for the delay in responding to Dr Washer's inquiry of 9 August 2004 about Mr Moore's service. I have attempted to contact Mr Moore to advise that if he now applies for ADSL with his preferred Internet Service Provider, his application should be successful. As background, it appears a common perception exists that Australian consumers cannot access broadband unless they can access higher-speed Internet via Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology. Due to distance and technical limitations, ADSL will never be universally available, either in Australia or any other country. However, an inability to access ADSL does not mean an inability to access broadband. Telstra's other broadband products, available to both retail and wholesale customers, are: * Hybrid fibre/coaxial (HFC) cable - high-speed Internet access delivered via a cable modem; * 1-Way satellite - allows customers to download from the Internet at high speeds via satellite using their standard telephone service as the 'uplink'; * 2-Way satellite - a service providing both uplink and downlink via satellite, avoiding the requirement for dial-up connection via a phone line; and * BigPond Regional Connect - a product that bundles 1-Way satellite, BigPond dial-up and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) services to provide an attractive broadband alternative in areas where ADSL is not available. Further to the above, Telstra is currently rolling out 1x technology to provide highspeed internet at speeds up to 144kbs over the CDMA mobile network. Also, we have committed $50 million for the rollout of 3G EVDO (Evolution Data Optimised) on our CDMA network, which will provide customers in major cities and selected regional centres with mobile high-speed data at between 300 and 500 kbps per second. Telstra's own vision for the company's online future is built around a platform designed to enable customers to access content on any device, anywhere, any time. Again, I apologise for the delay in responding to Dr Washer, and I trust the above will assist him in responding to Mr Moore Andrew Gaspar Senior Corporate Affairs Adviser, WA * Phone: (08) 9491 8805 * Mobile: 0408 905 113 * Fax: (08) 9214 9146 * e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: ADSL Availability in Joondalup and Osborne Park
I can hardly believe that - this means that in the midst of an explosion of low cost ADSL marketing by all and sundry, Joondalup and Osborne Park are left out. Surely this can't be true. As you pointed out a) There's an explosion of ADSL and b) it's low cost. Hence lots of people will have been taking up connections, and they haven't had any money to spend/incentive to provision the exchanges with new rack space to plug everything into. Upgrade schedule info is at http://www.telstrawholesale.com/products/docs/access_broadband_adslre03.pdf http://www.telstrawholesale.com/products/access_broadband_reports.htm But it doesn't seem to list an Osborne Park exchange as far as I can see. You may be able to get onto one of the wireless networks running across Osborne Park, but the connection would probably be severely restricted. http://www.e3.com.au/ Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer Join Team Sungroper in the Opinions for hire [POQ] 2005 World Solar Challenge [EMAIL PROTECTED] fnord http://sungroper.asn.au/

The situation is worse if you are in an area fed from a RIM, as a RIM can only support so many dsl circuits, then they need to add more fibre capcity to provide more dsl circuits.
