G'day listers,

Another one for Bob or anyone who knows what goes on inside Telstra these days:

I applied for an ADSL connection through Optus for a line on the Joondalup 9300 exchange and also another one on the Osborne Park 9443 exchange and Optus came back and said that Telstra were saying that both those exchanges are "full" and that the only way I could get a connection would be if someone else gave one up!


I would suggest that you try through a local ISP (Arachnet, Westnet etc), as from what I understand there are ways to make Telstra reconsider or force them to find relevant lines of connection. Another alternative especially in these heavy areas would be to see where Iinet are with their ADSL+ Phone services?

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.

Anyone had similar experiences?

Regards

Dudley Gager
