tryin to get adsl beast?

Yeah man, @#$stra wont upgrade our RIM so we're stuck on dialup.

Only hope now is to move, or might be able to get ADSL2+ when the exchange

is upgraded by the new OPEL venture.

I'm after the specific details of my phone line, to see if they've been yankin

my chain.

Can anyone help?

a little while ago warners bay had the same problem. untill a "freak of natute" caused a tree to fall on the RIM.

Well then it had to be urgently upgraded and ADSL was now available.

hahahaaa =)

I heard that if you request bigpond ADSL they may upgrade the RIM with the minimux.

You've probably already tried to sign up to an ISP for ADSL, maybe hassle Bigpond and see if they can transport your line? (But highly unlikely)

Also have a read at the whingpool forums re being on a RIM... http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-searc...1&r=9061876

Also dont expect the OPEL or the FTTN network to be working any time soon...

Completion:

-Labor: 2013 (Labor promises a five year rollout)

-Government: Mid 2009 (Fully completed to 99% of population)

Yea good luck if they actually complete it... Sounds like a voting scam once again...

Try wireless?

Yeah I heard about the tree on the RIM story.

Maybe a car could miraculously run over mine lol, just kidding.

The problem is our RIM is actually an RCM, which can't be upgraded with a minimux, and Telstra wont spend the money.

Have hassled Bigpond and Telstra Country Wide numerous times with no luck.

Also am a member of whirlpool forums (no luck there).

I have been told by my local member that our exchange will be upgraded as soon as september

and there is a media release on his web site stating the same, but yeah, could all be

a voting scam.

Have exhausted every avenue possible, and only options are NextG (too friggin expensive)

and subsidised satellite (metro comparable my ass).

Or move house.

i work for a company that rebills from telstra so we see all the crap that goes on, we know for a fact that they prioritise their own customers over any one elses for faults, for ADSL connections, land line connections etc.

they don't see DSL as a priority service so they'll take their sweet ass time upgrading the exchange unless there is a high demad in the area but even then they'll take their time

one reason might be beacuse lack of techs available to upgrade, other might be money and the other might be cos they just dont give a toss, could be all three

damage their rim FTW

it wont matter about the land line, every telstra customer gets a mobile handset CDMA or whatever you req if they can't have a fault fixed within lead time.

if they don't offer it to you, you have every right to ask for it and they will have to provide it

other companies will only give it to you if you need priority assistance (someones about to cack it at your place)

TIO wont help for DSL i don't think... just breaking balls will but that don't look promising for you

Yea DSL is a "luxuary" item, as long as Telbroad minded person can provide a min land line voice phone service this is enough.

Maybe if you can get enough people at the exchange that want ADSL then maybe they will concider upgrading the RIM.

Have you tried ISDN or DoV?

Or just go on a rampage like that dude who broke all those Telbroad minded person exchange thingys : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=176483

      Farewell Neil.....hope the tracks are awesome where you are going

      By Victory · Posted

      This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.  Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.  He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.  Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.
