Comment Telstra and the ADSL Problem (Score 1) 73

I love it..... we've been wating for something like this for a long time!!!! One problem though...... Here in Adelaide, we have major bandwidth problems!!!!! From one exchange to the next I beliveve we can barely cope with 75% of the population and its at 3k at best. In other words "4K bits" per sec. at 40K - 52K our stablility drops dramaticly. on a bad night you'll be lucky to remain connected for an hour at best at speeds above 50K. We have cirtain suburbs here localy that even have what we call"pair gain"(2 people per copper pair") This now limits internet connections to 28K at best, and as low as 16k!!!! Telstra now need to upgrade all of our exchanges not only to DSL and ADSL but need more fibre links between exchanges and "MUCH" larger frames into city central. Believe me.... I'm just as !@#$%^ off as anyone else. I work for an ISP and I have to do support and try to help our "end users" to understand that it's not our fault that they get kicked after "10 MINS" on a bad night!!!!!
