you must be on a Remote Integrated Multiplexer (RIM), if so, you can only get connection speed up to 8mbit or sometimes worst, capped at 3~3.5mbit, that sucks :|

try each ISPs' Network Coverage Checker to confirm that & before applying.

explanation from AAnet was my home phoneline have this pair gain line..
it must be removed first before i can get the adsl2+..
i've rang telstra and told them to make a transposition to my line and the said it might can or might not possible because they have to change all the phone cable near my area or something like that...
damned..the only isp that i can use now is bigpond which is darnnn expensive..
sighhhhhhhh...

tough luck ...

If you are on Pair Gain, then yes, unfortunately ADSL2+ is not available in your area.

Don't go for Bigpond, it's only there to rip people off. There are many good ISPs around with affordable pricing, namely TPG, Exetel, Internode, Westnet, Netspace etc. I'm currently with Exetel as i believe they are the best priced ISP in Australia. If you have any question just PM me, i'll gladly help you out.

thankss for the respond guys..
i've just applied for a new internet connection with internode..
if there still a problem i'll pm u caspersky..

oO
i also applying with internode but with nodeline first
then only adsl2+
i rly cant wait...

awesome, I`m with Internode too

just hope they gif more quota at lower price like tpg

can u guys post which isp is better and what is their limit capacity?
planning on getting adsl2+ ... but don't know which isp is good

every isp got their own good n capacity except dodo(don get tht)

for me,i will choose between internode,tpg and iinet only because i trust them more
if i got choice i will go for tpg coz cheap n more quota but due to no port so i need go for internode

lol with hsbb even malaysian internuts is better than aussie now. (if it's reliable)

but hsbb only available at several area..
aussie got a lot of choices..adsl2+ up to 24mbits
but need to near the exchange then only can get that speed

but i still doubt about hsbb.mayb still frequent dc like steamyx?

Have been Exetel customer for nearly 2 years. Best valued ISP in my opinion. TPG looks good when you first see their plans but after taking into account their offpeak period starts from 2am to 8am it is no match for Exetel (12am-12pm). I'm surprised why so many people are unaware of their existence. Perhaps that's because they didn't spend much money on designing their website.

using iinet ADSL =( can't get adsl 2+ too.

Read the bloody front page before expecting to be spoon-fed:


As for Malaysia's HSBB project, the fact it had data limits puts it on par with Australia. I know quota is a evil word in Malaysia, but if HSBB is anything like the wonderful ADSL 2+ I get here I'll be happy (Malaysian internet is Internet hell)

As for Bigpond, while they are probably the worst value for money, I have to admit their network is really fast and stable. Sure, data allowance is small, but while you're in the allowance is was one of the best ISP's I've been with network/speed/latency wise.

And its not much point recommending ISP's here anyway since a)few ISP's have nationwide ADSL 2+ b) Not all ISP's are available in your area c) Port availability varies by suburb (you have no idea how many people are on the waiting list for TPG in Sunnybank)

and for more references, refer here:

it MAY help u..

and same goes to TPG in carlton where the area is middle of Melbourne U and RMIT...lucky still got internode..

hi there, can anyone recommend me furniture shops around Monash University(Clayton)?

TPG ADSL2+ will be available at my area soon, still wondering should I churn to TPG, for better value.

as a regular at whirlpool, I see a lot of threads complaining on connection speed, reliability, customer service etc

Are you looking for brand new furniture? If you're not, try Monash Marketplace. There are some pretty good deals to be found there.

i think it depends u near the exchange or not...but the off peak for TPG is stupid..2am-8am =.="
the thing i like internode is dun have any peak...
