Moderators hazelnut Posted February 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2010 Providers can offer all these speeds til they are blue in the face. For a lot of folk like me it doesn't matter what they do at the telephone exchange my speed with always be limited by the fact that there is still old copper wiring in use. Folk who live in the 'not very high for profits' areas will be last in line for fiber optics. No matter which package I could take out with anyone I'm restricted to just over 2meg because of the copper wire.

I am sure there was something before copper wire (perhaps lead or PEWTER) and they use it here in the exchange I am attached to. I am only 19 minutes by car from Hobart (bitumen road, mixed 50 / 60 & 80 kph) and I can not get ADSL2!!!!!! they maintain they need to upgrade the exchange, when asked WHEN WILL YOU DO THIS? the answer I get from the various ISP's I talk to is: Ah! gee's Mate were not sure, call back in 6 months will'yer. I currently sit on 512. Admittedly I am across the river and on the other side to Hobart. Never mind there are areas in Tasmania where they still only have dial-up!!!!!!!

Moderators Andavari Posted February 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2010 ThankGOD, I'm not a Dial-Up users Same here, just downloading multiple anti-malware software updates everyday would completely overwhelm a dial-up connection - but it's still better than absolutely nothing at all.
