very similar to me. I've got an Onramp Home Highway service. Same deal, they won't tell me even if my exchange supports ADSL cos I don't have a standard PSTN line for them to "test". They won't even do the "test" on my neighbour's line. I'm supposed to revert back to a single PSTN line, get the test done, if ok, apply for ADSL, if not ok, pay another $200odd to get the ORHH put back on. > I found out that the exchange is ADSL ready and so ordered a phoneline, > $200 later Telsra tell me that the rim in the building won't support > ADSL. well I'm pretty sure my exchange doesn't support ADSL. Everything else is ok; distance and plain copper pair (it was a pairgain line, we were swapped to a clean pair during the ORHH install). > So I'm stuck with 56k dialup and a satisfiying feeling when everyone > elses broadband connection plays up ;-) yep me too! only other option is DoV ISDN or a satellite "add-on" to the 50k modem. (there's rumours of Internode doing wireless out my way but I get the feeling that's not going to happen immediately) Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
