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).

Berwick South needs more competition for ADSL2 access. Telstra plans are rubbish.

I already signed this petition earlier but just yesterday a new "City of Casey Citynes" dropped into our letterbox.

In there (poage) they are asking people to sign their boradband infrastructure petition.

I suggest we all sign that one as well. Go to:

I have recently moved into Narre Warren South from Perth where I enjoyed a 14mbit ADSL2+ connection with iinet. Now I have found that my street cannot get any form of adsl at all and that 3g is my only option of broadband. 3g is definitely NOT a viable alternative to an ADSL/Cable conection. Very dissapointed as Narre is so much more populated than the suburb I lived in back in Perth.

Booming area - insufficient infrastructure – step up and get us ADSL2 please....

 

update - oct 1st

apologies - after moving the site to a new server we forgot to change a couple of things over so the petition has been inactive for a while... oops!
