I finally get ADSL after trying for several decades. But if you are talking to a General Manager or his stooge in charge, they take it that a $90 per month ADSL plan is ADSL1, or is it someone from within Telstra itself? No-one knows and no-one cares to find out as it took half a week of level 2 tech to work out why I was getting 6.6Mb/s download speed max.
But they fixed that, wow, I finally have ADSL2+, time for the all important download test. I have been on the net since 2004 this time. I have gone through dial-up, then ISDN, then dial-up again, then finally onto satellite when the ABG days started and I have been on satellite ever since. Around that time I also ended up on a disability pension, so all I do all day is surf the web; great fun with satellite, click & get do some chores. But finally I have ADSL2+.
I go to my favourite test site - testmy.net - and the download speed is13Mb/s - WT? I have tried it morning noon and night & it is still the same, 13Mb/s down & the lovely 1Mb/s up.
The General Manager that was helping me get this ADSL was quoting from here - https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/broadband-nbn/is-your-adsl-service-running-as-fast-as-it-coul... - and said he was getting his number one out next week; he said the same thing FIVE WEEKS AGO. You can read my mind about what I think of him. BTW, you have a faulty link to the speedtest link in his link to that page. Another bloke gave me this which came from crowdsupport and it says I should get in the low 20's as I am 1100metres from the exchange - https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/17554i456159771EF87483/image-size/o...
Any suggestions for me to do apart from me going to the TIO
I had my account cancelled without my knowledge and no-one would tell me why
I had an install date of 1st September - no-one came & no-one told me why
I had an install date of 7th September - no-one came & no-one told me why
I had an install date of 11th September and the local bloke came a day early as I was leaving to go to the doctors. He was in a foul mode and he wanted a fight with me; I am over 60 & been on a disability pension for over 2 decades. The local dude was meant to connect me 3 times before but never bothered to come as he knew that the wiring is not marked, has illegal splices, broken joints, etc...
This thing is called a cluster (I don't know your policy about colourful words, but add one here). This is my first post, sorry for the longness of it. Any help would be a great relief to my headache, thanks
have a good 1
