Telstra ADSL 2 Plus role out.
« on: Feb 6, 2008, 10:28PM »
Who cannot get ADSL or ADSL 2. Who is on ISDN.

I sub contract to Telstra so I am seeing the planning at the exchanges at the moment.

I am in Maitland NSW and only 1 exchange down in my area has the ISAM ADSL 2 equipment.

I go to about 12 exchanges everyday for work. There is only a couple with the ISAM equipment, how ever they are set up to run ADSL 1 cards.

Who is country area's.

What speed is everyone on.

I am running a 8mb connection. Still ADSL 1.
Your car may be able to go faster.
But I can go any where. except into a garage, underground carpark, bridge...

2 sticks and manual locking hubs. have to get out to drive it around
Good old Nissan.

KA's are the shit. According to all the info on the site, they are better then sliced bread and thats saying something.

I Got Baned for being a Total Assclown, Wanker, Tool, etc...

Over here in WA I'm still on 1.5mbit adsl although my exchange is adsl2+ enabled, will be switching over in the very near future.

Should be interesting to see if (and how soon) the rudd government lives up to it's election broadband promises for all the country folks.

My limit is 60gig on and 40 gig off peak and I fill it pretty fast. I dl a fair amount of "backup copies" of PS2 games, PC games, movies etc.

I have a 1.5tb of space and its nearly full. Only have 200or so gig left.

Once again i use it to download porn, backups and whole tv seasons (with paying for it of coarse). I have every ep of nearly every tv show that is worth watching.

The bigger the town or suburb you live in the faster the ADSL2 will be available to you.

Thats the way Telstra work, they start off where the most money is.

then in that case they should be knocking on my door any day now. There is 3 new estates being built, a new shopping centre has been built and a KFC, KMART and Bunnings warehouse all approved just needing to be built. Yet we don't have adsl hookup available in my street but they have it 600m away.

Welcome to the wonderful world of infrastructure, where Telstra don't actually build anything any more.  The developer will actually put the infrastructure in the ground, and if they do it properly, you might get ADSL in future. otherwise, you are stuck in the dark ages.

Sucks, I know.

Soul has ADSL2+ in the Maitland exchange.

How do you know that. I assume your a Telstra tech or Downer. I know about the Soul equipment. I did 30 Soul cut overs last week on the Monday, 5 hours at Maitland Exchange. That place is really depressing.

Morisset exchange

adsl 512

no plans for adsl2 in my area

One of my work mates covers that area, if I hear anything through I will let you know.

The biggest with Telstra is the getting rid of all there technicions. I know of 60 Telstra employees and 30 more are set to go in march or April.. They are replacing them with neew trainee's. The trainee's are not up to spec with there training.

Telstra use to have training facilitys like tafes. There long gone.

At the moment in the Newcastle, Cessnock areas have over 3000 faults. There are Techs up here from SA and the NT, they have no idea of the area so all they are doing is slowing the rest of the techs because they keep asking where is this cabinet and where is this pillar and where is this pit. No offence to the instate techs, it would be the same if the local techs went to SA or the NT.

I was talking to a tech today who was from the NT, who lives a town of 2500 people. He asked a me and Telstra tech where this RCM was. After 25 minutes of writing down directions he was on his way out to the putty road a third of the way to Windsor.

Another Telstra tech told me today that with this role out, the agreement was made if Telstra is putting the dollars down. All ADSL2 customers must go through Telstra.

The system is falling apart. We request stuff at the exchanges to be fixed and it takes for ever to get done. If done at all.

I know of a shit load of Downer tech (mostly ex Telstra employees) who are considering getting out all together. Telstra is trying to pay everyone SFA. I guarentee everyone the way Telstra is being run now its only going to get worse.

Privatising Telstra is what fucked it. Johnny was the money worth fucking everyones jobs and telecommunications.

If the power stations get sold off then we are fucked aswell. It might be time to go Green power I think by using battery's and solar panels. Atleast I know I will have reliable power.

I'm on ADSL 1, 512kbs 30gb (only because I don't need the 1500kps plans just yet).
Waiting on ADSL 2 to be enabled at the Bald Hills exchange then i'll switch. Silly as neighbouring suburbs have had it for months now.

This link may be useful for you, shows all the exchanges with ADSL 2 enabled or their status (eta dates etc).

I wouldn't hold that site to highly. I have 2 ADSL2 jobs tomorrow, that site says these exchanges dont have ADSL2 available.

If the exchange has ISAM equipment, the exchange has the capabilities for ADSL2.

CMUX, AM31, AM35, ASAM are all ADSL1 system's.
