Thanks for the replies.
1) my Billion 7800N has an firmware update ( for ipv6) which I have yet
to install.
2) my modem router is connected to the first connection on the phone
line ( enters directly from outside wall ) - only phone is connected to
phone line further along in another room - it has an ADSL 2+ filter.
Note - originally had Modem/Router connected to filter - dropped speed
from 250 to 150 Kibs (?). Removed filter and placed upstairs with phone.
3) Phone line is not "shared" and is directly connected from "tub" in
street.
4) tried TPG maps link. I'm on COMO exchange in Southern Sydney (The
"Shire") - no TPG details for Como.
5) http://www.yourbroadband.com.au/exchanges.php?Exchange=COMO
shows details of ISPs using Como exchange, though my ISP PeopleTelecom
is not listed.
6) Dazza's link http://www.adsl2exchanges.com.au
"Rim Information" for Como shows that I am nowhere near a RIM.
Telstra has ADSL 2+ enabled.
I am about 900 m "as the crow flies" and actual about 1.6 Km from the
exchange with an estimated max speed of 170,000 and am in Zone 1
-------
Will update modem/router firmware and use a shorter cable from wall
socket to modem/router and see what changes (if any) develop.
Thanks to all.
