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

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
