Gtman the reason you can only get 28.8K speeds and also the reason you cant get ADSL on your phone line is because what the cheap bastards have done is "Pair Gain" your telephone line(its like a 2 for 1 deal, except you loose...). Standard telephone line has 4 cores, now voice only needs 2 cores(so to get 2 telephone lines from one line they just split it...)now this is fine for voice, but for Data....well you need the 4 cores to get 56k, and you also need the 4 cores to get ADSL installed. Thing is, if you got another phone line so you could be on the internet at the same time as the phone, well I'm assuming thats why your getting Broadband, so call Telstra and tell lazy cheap bastards to get off their butts and come and un-pair gain your line and install ADSL(cause you can still be on the phone and on the net at the same time) for you, and then your all happy again My 2c Nath [Report message to a moderator]
