Ok, I know this is not a very car issue, but hoping someone can help me here.

I've sorta recently moved to the suburb of Fisher and just got my phopne line connected.

Telstra told me that they could supply ADSL2 from the Weston Creek Exchange.

Now being as expensive as Bigpond is I've been trying to find another ADSL2 provider with not much luck at all.

(all said no, except for Exetel which said they don't have any ports left and need to wait for someone to cancel their account first)

so 2 questions,

1) anyone out in Weston Creek Exchange with ADSL2 and if so, who with?

2) if no ADSL2, who do you guys go with for normal ADSL?

Cheers

Michael

Thanks, but already have and even did a search on 'Weston' and there wasn't much.

Also did a search on what providers were available for my number, but just want to see what people around the area think and have.

cheers

Try this.

To be honest, I'm an Internode man - despite the recent price rise. You get what you pay for, and with internode you get outstanding quality of service and quite possibly the best Call Centre system in the universe (you leave them a message and they call you back corresponding to your point in the queue).

Failing internode, probably westnet.

That said, in Canberra, I found that using TransACT 2mb/512 link via Velocity Internet was the best fit for me.

'Node for the win man.

I'm in Bonython and there's no ADSL2 here either =(

Thanks guys for the info. Went with IInet transit plan in the end after ringing around with no luck with ADSL2.

just hope it all works.

Good luck with that.

;)

iinet have been less than spectacular of late (like the last few years).

Damn, after all the efforts, I got rejected from over 8 ISPs. Looks like since I'm 4kms from the Weston Creek exchange no one can supply me with ADSL1 or ADSL2. pissing me off alittle since they all say they can supply it, but when they try to connect they can't.

I'll have to go for Cable either via Telstra or Transact. Even Optus doesn't supply Cable there.

Life is sucking alot at the moment, no Net, no GTR, no spare time, Grrrrrr.

Hope no one else out there has as much problem as me.

The house i just bought in Curtin is able to get ADSL 2 which makes me a very happy kid :thumbsup:

I have lost it multiple times at various ISP's over the fact that the suburb i am currently in is surrounded by suburbs which have ADSL 2+ but no not mine dslkjgsdjlkgfsld

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
