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

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 =(

I left iiNet for Internode at the start of this year. Was worth every bit of effort.

On ADSL1 at the moment, thinking of going to ADSL2 but don't really see the need.

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

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By kindaruined · Posted

      hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
