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

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
