Being a p...I have to agree with<br />Oliver Redlynch...<br /><br />Being a provider of services, the public would be amazed at the crap we have to go to at times to keep our customers connected let alone be happy. Doesn't help when the good ol telstra techs and contractors turn up and state openly "This wouldnt happen if your with bigpond" <br /><br />Anyway my 2c worth<br /><br />SamanthaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764288527997702247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-55181701580043184362010-08-17T14:25:57.054+10:002010-08-17T14:25:57.054+10:00Well, I went back to my provider (Internode) yeste...Well, I went back to my provider (Internode) yesterday to find out why my bandwidth has deminished over the last couple of months. "Congestion fault at the telephone exchange(i.e. Telstra) your service connects through" is the report. Basically - nothing my provider can do except wait, and I'm in the lap of the gods waiting if Telstra will actually do anything - there is actually no guarantee that it won't get worse and its already adversely affecting my business. And THAT is the reality of broadband up in FNQ.Oliver Redlynchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-90336342957222810532010-08-16T12:09:28.625+10:002010-08-16T12:09:28.625+10:00The problem with NBNCO is that not all the cairns ...The problem with NBNCO is that not all the cairns council area is covered by the FTTH service, but having to settle for the second class WIMAX network.<br /><br />We utilise the Telstra Network for delivery of our ADSL2+ connections as well as optus where possible.<br /><br />We currently get 864K up and 14.6 Meg Down. My IT Staff can bond together multiple links to increase the speed and for redundancy. (We currently get 1.4meg up and 26 meg down)<br /><br />The problem we see in relation to NBN CO is the magical figure of 100mb and the misinformation being peddled. If the server your requesting the data from is on a 10meg link, people think that NBN Co can deliver it to them at the 100mb... <br /><br /><br />Colleen<br />Clifton BeachAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166798095118655293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-36210911964674391512010-08-16T07:30:31.686+10:002010-08-16T07:30:31.686+10:00Lucky bastards - after waiting 6 months for a port...Lucky bastards - after waiting 6 months for a port on the RIM I think I'm lucky to get 2.57Mbs/0.31Mbs down in Redlynch Valley. I was at 3.5Mbs originally, but "improvements" on the exchange screwed that, and if you read your contract, you have no recourse so long as its above 1.5Mbs ... I cry when I remember what speed and unlimited downloads I got for less money in the UK before I emigrated. Please god we get the NBN sooner rather than later.Olivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-10729330001242849472010-08-16T06:13:04.997+10:002010-08-16T06:13:04.997+10:00Hope all those meters don't belong to you.
