discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 2m 1d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 29/08/16 12:42 PM Share Posted 29/08/16 12:42 PM (edited) The downsides of living in a nice spacious semi rural area. Brand new phone line connected - $300 later Telstra tell me line not suitable for ADSL due to too much interference. Neighbour 200m closer to exchange (the next house over) has Telstra ADSL, with speeds good enough to watch Netflix and claims he has speeds near the top of ADSL (up to 8Mbps, but I haven't seen his sync speed with my own eyes). Trying to decide on course of action (NBN is years away) -See if anyone through my IT contacts at work can push through a connection anyway (don't like my chances) and see what speeds and stability I get, then just deal with it -Call various ISPs and see if they can push through a connection anyway (a mate had Internode do this for him years ago because he's 5km from the exchange and Telstra refused to connect him - need to talk to a tech friendly company without overseas call centres to have a hope in hell of this) -Engage my own contractor ($$$) to see if the extra 200m of cable I have being a battleaxe block is of poor quality and causing the interference issue -Settle for 4G on Telstra (currently borrowing this through work) - $150/month for 50GB. I can blow through 1GB a day no problem and more if we wanna try Netflix or similar. Speeds vary from 6 Mbps to 15Mbps most days or can dropout totally if heavy rain. Would prefer slower speeds and more stability and quota for half the price! -Optus 4G is $70 for 50GB but speeds capped at 12 down/1 up best case scenario and service possibly worse So frustrating.

Our last house was like that - limited options, all of which were slow and expensive. That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had them tell me a load of different things but I found when they definitely can't do a connection they endup admitting there is no ports left. just spend 100-150k and get optical fiber run hahahaha could always put an antenna on the roof for the mobile service, just need to figure out where the towers are and what frequency.
