fighting for ADSL2+ for Narre Warren South residents and business

Narre Warren South residents are once again getting a raw deal with the speeds of available internet access being offered. After being one of the last areas to be adsl enabled in the Melbourne metropolitan area - it would seem that a similar trend is following with adsl2+

so what's the deal?

Once again residents of Narre Warren South are being denied access to current broadband technologies.

history... After a lengthy battle to remove the restrictions of dial-up only internet access to most of the area, NAAG were able to help "convince" Telstra to build a sub-exchange in Narre Warren Sth. As a results many residents and businesses who were previously restricted to dial-up internet access due to the (then) antiquated pair-gain infrastructure now have ADSL available to them.

however... current broadband technologies are not ADSL speeds (previously 1.5Mbps but now up to 8mbps) but ADSL 2+ (theoretical speeds up to 24Mbps). As an area which showed massive support for the introduction of ADSL, Narre Warren South is a prime candidate for ADSL 2+ enablement.

We are appealing to independent ISP's to provide ADSL2+ to Narre Warren South residents and businesses served by the sub ESA (NDSH).

Binu Varkey : Feb 8th, 2010
Currently with Bigpond cable connection and spending too much. Being tied to Telstra, we are not given a fair go. We need choice.
Jimmy Anderson : Feb 8th, 2010
