i found that i could only get adsl1 with telstra and the companies that use telstra line but i could get adsl2 with the optus ones. if optus say they can provide you with adsl2 then there will be a handfull of companies that can give you that

just be careful if you go to optus, we are currently with optus. service is pretty good, but we were wanting to go to a bigger limit. but because optus has changed us over to the fibre optics network it is a pain in the ass. we either have to pay a huge fee to the company that we decide to go with if they dont use optus lines to get changed back over, or we need to swap to telstra and then go to which ever carrier we wanna go with. either way there is a big down time and lots of money exchanging hands.
we were lookin at iinet, tpg and there was another one, they all said the same thing to me cause they all use telstra lines.
seems you have more options later on if you stick to a company that uses telstra lines.

Thank god I'm here to slap some reason into people.
1. I personally feel that Tpg is pretty shit. For one TPG Uses Invisible Proxies. TPG IP Ranges seem to be well known on Torrent Sites and if you plan on doing anything naughty be very prepared for letters from Viacom and other studios demanding money for the shit you've stolen. A guy I know has had quite a few of these. P2P traffic (amongst others) seems to be shaped sometimes. I've been to enough places running TPG to laugh my ass off at the contentation ratios you ######s are willing to put up with. I guess people just love those accounts that are 500GB FOR $2 A MONTH!!! WOOO.
2. Internode; well; I know the bossmen over there - and I can pull favours if I like you. Often I can get ADSL2+ where Telstra wont release ADSL2+ Ports
PM me and Give me the number you are on - and I'll refer you 3. Internode easy broad band is 50gb anytime. I've got it. ADSL2+ 23mbps
4. You were VERY correct Eugene. Often there is ADSL2+ equipment in the exchange ; and telstra doesn't hand them out to sloppy home users on other carriers. Thats why you have to understand that they a) reserve ports for wholesale and
reserve ports for their own customers. They are a pack of ######s and where possible; they dont hand out ADSL2+ ports without a fight.5. If you do infact PM me, I should be able to get a site survey done on your line and tell you how long the cable run back to the exchange is. If its too long, or youre on pair-gain - well you aint gonna get SHIT. If those kind of things are the case, you should consider yourself lucky you could get ADSL1 8000/384
but if you are lucky and you can get on ADSL2+ ... well.... Before you sign up with anyone eugenenenenene - Check out whirlpool.net.au (whingepool) and see what all the complaints are from nerds who are using the ISP's you're interested in.......

nah it all boils down to whats in the exchange. I know for a fact telstra wont be upgrading any equipment because of the National Broadband bullshit ; which they are using as a noose on the australian public.. 9/10 carriers out there will use both Optus and Telstra DSLAMs and then some like internode, have their own. Internode uses Agile for instance.
The level of customer satisfaction boils down to a few things:
1. Where the support is based.
2. If they are a true ISP; or one of those "online" low-brow aunty and uncle businesses running out of a shed reselling someone elses shit.
3. The amount of "clout" the ISP has with the given carrier. This can be resultant of the equipment they run. For instance if you're on a telstra Adsl port, there is limited support the ISP can offer you in terms of checking port status, reprogramming ports, putting on stability profiles etc etc etc.
4. The amount of money you have. I recently setup a $300,000 PER YEAR internet connection. They have 1:1 contention ratio, SLA's on uptime, priority traffic etc etc
I have found that the optus/telstra networks are both a much of a muchness; its just most of the time telstra equipment is still used in the backhaul anyways. there are some other "independant" networks but most of the time you wont be lucky enough to fall on these. Just remember there is alot of shoulder tapping and back scratching over who gets the best contentation ratios, who gets the best bandwidth, blah blah blah
I heard rumours that DODO connections (for instance) had low priority through telstra routers, so would be queued if other traffic is high.

oh and finally about the costs; Just remember as well people that when you get internet you are paying for the port rental (usually through telstra) and then for bandwidth (usually through telstra).
Back in the day when I worked at an ISP which shall remain nameless; Port rental on a 1500/256 cost the ISP $52.50 a month and bandwidth charged by telstra per MB (at one point it was 20c/MB !!!! ) .
Amazing to see how most ISP's could turn a profit back then when a 10gb account at netspace was $59.95 a month
those of you who are trading on the share market, consider getting into communications a bit; and selling and buying bandwidth - much profits to be had!
