THE CHIEF Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Pair gains is when the split your line... ADSL requires a 4 pair copper line but when people get a second line or sumshit they split the 4 pair into 2 2 pairs and that doesnt allow ADSL to run of it.. Rim more in depth.. exchange and line based..

pushead Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 i have to back up TPG as they are my ISP. It really depends what you use the net for. I use it mainly to download prons and other stuff so its ok with ping times as it provides me unlimited download. Best month was 40 gig :D anyway, i have to also admit that playing online games gets crappy ping times so it really depends what you use it for.

funkymonkey Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 dart is good for ADSL... as long as your exchange supports it. I'm with pacific atm and they've got mad speeds, however its not unlimited, I've got a 10gig cap per month and that's during off peak, during peak time I've got a 1 gig cap. Which suits me fine coz I leechzor during the nighttime Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30331-internet-in-narre-warren/page/2/#findComment-615720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooD Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 i use iinet, as some1 said b4 , go to the whirlpool site, its got everything you'll need there if either you want adsl or cable. narre warren im pretty sure offer both cable and adsl, depends if ur north/south though i guess. "i think" you said it was a new area? or new housing estate? so you could be unlucky and be on as earlier was mentioned a rim or pair gain. bad luck if you are . i just got adsl today and im in hampton park (right next to narre) and everything seems good.

dAVE Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 firstly, telstra ****ing blows. had them out the other day to install a line.. waited for 6 hours and they never showed up or even called. When I asked for a refund the girl said it wasn't their policy... so i asked, why is it your policy to charge me if im late with my bill, but I cant charge you when your late.... secondly, whirlpool is your friend! thirdly, i have bigpond unlim adsl ($100 a month) and also tel.pacific adsl unlim ($80 a month). Only been on tel.pac for 1 weeek now and its good for the price. Been reasonably happy with telstra adsl apart from when the phone line was hit by lightening and blew up my computer through the modem. They told us that any damage past our front door is our problem, the other side is theirs. The week after that we were hit again and the phone cable fried under the driveway. They then told us anywhere on our property is our responsibility, and after a 1 1/2 month fight with no phone lines or internet they finally agree to fix it and pay for it.... I guess I would have had the same problem if I had another net connection as Telstra has a monopoly over the lines... but i think my point is, dont use them as they are the biggest liars I have ever had to deal with. Im glad I sold my shares and made a good profit.

dAVE Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 also SLYWPN - can you please tell "Sue" from W.A call centre she is the dumbest bitch I have ever had to talk to on the phone ever... and if she tells me to call "AAPT" once more im going to really ****ing crack it (long story but i had a fault with my line and got this dumb lady who kept telling me it was an AAPT number and to call them - i repeated nearly 100 times that I have my telstra bill in front of me. She finally put me on to her manager when I told her she was the most retarded ****wit I have ever had to deal with in my life... when i got on to her supervisor she fixed my problem in 15 secs) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30331-internet-in-narre-warren/page/2/#findComment-618475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest INASNT Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 wood it isent a new housing estate, the house is 3 years old. dave i had a lightening strike blow up my computer through the phone line also in qld and which blew up the whole junction box also. If u think telstra are farked, try ringing the dell (my work computer) helpline, it goes to india, after 1 hour on the phone trying to explain to the guy that qld is not driving distance away from vic (so i could get the computer fixed) i still got nowhere. meggala turbo had to be sent back on the 23rd to get the flange machined out a bit more and modified so the exhaust housing wouldnt toch the block. Hopefully get it all sorted before new years Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30331-internet-in-narre-warren/page/2/#findComment-618698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVE Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 oh i think i need to see a doctor! i cant keep my rage in when dealing with morons any more. I went to pacific fair myer (qld) for stock take sale today and picked up some shirts at $41.95 with 30% off. Got to the counter and it came up as $49.95. Tell the lady what the deal is and she starts telling me that she only just started so how is she meant to know.. so i say thats cool, just mark them at the right price... then she refused and said i would have to go to another counter.. so im like WTF.. in the end she called security and her manager.. haha... got it all sorted and made her look like a ****... the whole time my 75yo dad is standing with me saying nothing, and this dumb bitch starts abusing him too! argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

funkymonkey Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 not necessarily some larger ISP have boxes at exchanges in metro areas and use this. There's even an ISP in rural adelaide offering ADSL where testra don't by setting up secondhand US boxes (since the US has a shiteload of ADSL and is years ahead of us) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30331-internet-in-narre-warren/page/2/#findComment-618958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
