ADSL advice in Oz?
Being out of the golden triangle, I have no access to cable for internet access, and until now satellite has been the only possibility. Now Telstra tell me they are going to update the local exchange to accept ADSL in January.
While I would dearly love broadband access, anecdotal evidence from various computer mags indicates a lot of very unhappy customers of ADSL, who say that when it's working it's fine, but the advertizing bait of "always on line" is a gross exaggeration due to technical problems, and that some people's connections are down more often than they are up. The general feeling seems to be that Telstra are still blaming teething problems for a technology that has now been available to the public for a couple of years.
If anybody has any personal or even second-hand experience, or even second hand experience of ADSL access, good or bad, I'd love to hear about it.
