The petition (below) is aimed at all independent Internet Service Providers.
We, the undersigned, have signed this petition to register our interest in ADSL2+ being offered to residents of Narre Warren South by an independent ISP. This offering would involve the deployment of the required infrastructure to support ADSL2+ from the sub ESA (NDSH).

| Mark Rogers | I run the I.T Department for Flightcentre,i look after the Victorian head office and and all the Victorian and tasmania flightcentre, student flights, escape travel, cruise about and etc etc, i cant operate off a 3g connection, if we cant get basic broadband then it will mean i will have to spend more time away from my wife and newborn child. please do something about this issue. |
| Carl Meginbir | currently builing in n/w south and am disappointed with this news |
| Steve Maden | Berwick South needs more competition for ADSL2 access. Telstra plans are rubbish. |
| Reto Freihofer | 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: http://www.casey.vic.gov.au/broadbandregister/ Cheers Reto |

| Ratana Lou | 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. |

| Adrian Timmers | |
| Rachael Lyons | |
| Warren Sukumar | |
| Paul Grobler | Booming area - insufficient infrastructure – step up and get us ADSL2 please.... |
| Selina Tour | |
| Linda Merigan | I cant get broadband because of the remote exchange in my street not being compatible with broadband!!!!! Why cant this be fixed? Why do I have to pay more than someone else with the right equipment? |
| Mark Bannister | As an IT professional restricted to only ADSL1, onthe NWS subexchange, is extremely frustrating. There are easily over 2000 residents in this area that would benefit from ADSL2+, where we cannot get it. We are not in a semi-urban/rural area anymore..This is the 2nd largest growth corridor in Australia, this surely has to considered. |
| Shannon Conroy | Just bought a house and moved here. Tried repeatedly to have any form of ADSL connected simply being told "Sorry its not available to you". As a result, I will not connect a home phone. There is absolutely NO POINT paying for line rental when you cant also get ADSL on that line. I would happily pay up to $500 if it meant i would have a proper ADSL connection. There is obviously a market for it and I dont understand why no one is willing to service that market. I have a mobile phone Account with Telstra. Would happily pay for BigPond if they would offer it. |
| Keith Wright | Do something positive Telstra. Rather than collecting money under false presences. |
| Lipika Rodrigues | |
| Dennis Rodrigues | Please give us ADSL2+ |
| Luke Munro | my down speed is ok but my up speed is 300kb NOT GOOD FOR GAMING!! |
| Rachel Wilson | I would like either ADSL or ADSL2+ I cant get either. Cant get wireless or cable. Stuck with dial up or the somewhat unreliable satellite under the government broadband guarantee! Do we live in the dark ages here in Melbourne? I thought we were a big city?????? |
| Stuart Heath | Wireless is slow And Realistlicly Users Use more than 10 gb per month sick of paying premium rates for crap service |
| Alexander Heath | |
| Michael Jones | WAS looking to move into the area but am seriously considering not to now that i have found out there is no ADSL2+. Its just ridiculous that a supposed 1st world country and a main suburb in a major city cant have access to proper broadband! Telstra and the Government need to get their act together! How can growth areas be 10 years behind in technology! If anyone offers ADSL2+ they'll get all the customer base |
| Mack Singh | The first provider of adsl2+ is going to hit the jackpot. |
| Robert Germech | Would like to get an internet connection which does not involve wireless or dial up |
| Ian Daubney | BWKS exchange needs ADSL2+ DSLAMS now. C'mon other ISPs / It's a crime that Tel$tra has racks that are hogging the exch floor space. Can the indoor exchange space please be extended Julia? |
| Graeme Webb | I feel the need.......... the need for SPEED, not to mention extra data allowance & cheaper bundled options. |
| Steve Maxwell | |
| Daniel Skinner | |
| Moli Ngin | F.U.C.K TELSTRA! |
| Kong Bour | I dont have a phone line but would be happy to get one to run a fixed line broadband. Ive been a residence in this area for over 7 years and have had to use a wireless service that is also pretty inadequate. |

| Ryan Reynolds | |
| Ash Haysom | I wish telstra would pull their fingers out their arses and actually give us reason to turn to their company... Get the job done! |
| Andrew Seeber | We have been told for the last year by optus, that we had to keep calling to see if there was a port available. It was only last week that we were told that there would neveer be a fast internet connection for us. As soon as someone else offers one we will be jumping over. Thanks |
| Paul Smart | Do it. |
| Leslie Webster | have ried two or three times to get adsl connected have been told am too far away from the exchange so signal gets lost |
| Fatima Fazeli | ill be moving to hallam.. Morson cresent and there is no ADSL and cable provided.. please provide cable and ADSL to those areas.. its urgent... you will get more customers by doing so.. |
| GEORGE PERERA | |
| John Goh | |
| Felicity Myers | All we want is fast reliable internet open up the exchanges and dont be so stingy |
| David Beck | |
| Attila Burjan | |
| Sarah McCathie | |
| David Brennan | As the NEED (not WANT) for fast broadband increases, and more and more estates are built on architecture supporting 50Mbps and much more - surely this area deserves a DSLAM capable of speeds that have been current in most similar for a long time?! It's a move ISPs will need to make eventually - so why not invest now and reap the benefits first?! |
| Nathan Beck | |
| Denis Guillot | |
| Megan Campbell | Such a well populated area needs to have internet to account for the amount of people, the internet here is by far not good enough.. A internet speed test showed we have a dial up speed of internet, it is actually a adsl 1 8Mb connection. |
| James McCathie | Since moving from northern Berwick to Narre Warren south, my biggest problem has been internet connection. i waited 3 months to even get an internet connection (which, from what ive read on naag.igeek.com.au, makes me one of the very lucky ones) the connection ive been provided is slow, cuts out frequently and unreliable. its time for the rest of this area to be bought up to the standards of the rest of melbourne. The outer South-East is one of the fastest growing area's of melbourne and deserves better |
| Callan Laughton | I live in Rowville and have been paying 89.95 a month for cable and another 80 a month for my phone. All i want is a naked ADSL2 Plan with a reasonably priced company but the only decent ADSL Service here is with the ripoff merchants Telstra! They say that the Rowville exchange is out of floor space but its a house on an big block which could be very easily extended. |

| Kapil Gupta | the berwick south exchange needs desperate upgrading ASAP. |
| Kapil Gupta | |
| Sejal Gupta | |
| Sam Dunstall | I'm in Berwick and have been putting up with a terrible ADSL connection for 2 years. It took nearly 12 months to even get access as there were no ports available. What a joke, and to think we live in a first world country, where a new house can't even access the Internet. Currently getting a 50% reduction in the bill because the quality is so poor, 56k standards. I'm happy to pay for a service that works! |
| KAPIL Gupta | |
| Matt Butterworth | <-- Another vote for upgrades to ADSL 2+ in Narre Warren / Narre Warren North. Angie is spot on. |
| Adam Boersch | I have slow ADSL2+ as i'm situated on Cranbourne road, just past the centre road lights. It would be much more beneficial to connect to an exchange in Narre South rather than the fountain gate one. |
| Derek Smart | What are alll the other ISp's doing to fix the problem? They do not want to invest any money, preferring to wait for Telstra! |

| Jawad Jaffari | This is my Second time writing here after 1 year still no internet. i don't think anything will happen by these petitions, something has to be done against Telstra by all the residents of narre warren south to make them UPGRADE the area. |
| Jawad Jaffari | |
| Johan TeGrotenhuis | I live in Narre Warren North and have been stuck with dialup sins 1997. Would have had better internet living in Woep Woep or shit creak. |
| Jeff Hill | I acually live in Narre Warren North, but im hoping that if Narre South gets ADSL 2, they will upgrage Narre North aswell |
| Abhishek Purohit | Waiting for ADSL2+ for last 2 years............... :( |
| Robert Smyth | look i have adsl 2+ but because telstra won't upgrade the sub exchange they will not give any other isp access to it's adsl ports therefore even being lucky enough to have adsl 2+ i have no choice on isp so therefore you have to pay telstra's prices which are a rip-off |
| MIchael Longman | |
| Dean Francis | Shoddy infrastructure and corner cutting in residential development has led to this pathetic excuse for a service that should be mandatory. You'd think that extensive new housing developments would merit an upgrade to the phone line system, but it seems that we have been left behind. |
| Christopher Barahona | I remember being stuck with dial up for 2 years, because there were no port in my area, and now i am stuck with a unreliable telstra connection that goes slower than a parked car. ADSL2+ needs to be implemented ASAP! |
| Kerwin Jones | This is 2010 we can put a man on the moon and replace a human heart but we cant get adsl2+ access in all areas of a city...what moron cant figure this issue out? |
| Simon Kent | |
| Glenn Chamberlain | |
| Omar Hussein | Can't even get normal ADSL as there are no more ports available on my cabinet. |
| Michael Slattery | |
| Melanie Roche | |
| Mohamad Doughan | Money grubbing bastards at telstra! |
| Ozgur Aksu | |
| Paul Jenkins | |
| Leslie Webster | i have been trying for 5 years to get adsl or any internet other than wirless but am told that i am too far away from exchange/sub exchange. |
| Kevin Zaia | |
| Binu Varkey | 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 | We need ADSL2+!! it has been too long, do something Telstra!! |
| Steven Martin | I have moved to Narre Warren South and cannot get ADSL at all on DA149. Its 2010 and I cannot get an adsl connection... thats just crazy. |
| Angie Serwecinska | I am becomming increasingly frustrated with the lack of decent infrastructure in this area, why are our councillors putting so much effort and $$$ into their own agendas and not considering the needs of the people paying the taxes. To be able to continue growing the city of Casey needs to pull their fingers out and look into the fact that lack of adsl2 for the area is going to be detrimental to the growth of business and selling point for houses - who would want to live here when their voices are not heard by those who are empowered to speak on their behalf! |
| Madaduwa Samantha | |
| Gavin Hagan | Im frustrated as well. In Rowville, my exchange is has ADSL2+ but only a few ISP as it is purely Telstra Equipment, thus telstra prices. Painful. |
| Reto Freihofer | It took me 2 month to get ADSL1 but I got it in the end. I first was on Pair gainst and got taken off that and then it took them the remainder of the time to get me a port on the exchange / rim / local green box. I have an 8Mb/s max link. most of the time I get speeds of 300KB - 450KB but at least once a week I can download with speeds larger than 600KB and had even recently speeds of 720KB. This indicates to me that I actually have a good link even though I'm on the RIM. Just recently I only got download speeds of 20KB yes 20 KB. So I called my ISP and they helped me trouble shoot. We all think that it is the line but need to do another modem test which I will do over the next month. In the interim they kept on investigating and got from their wholesalers the following comment on my line. This is what my ISP has sent me in an E-mail: """To maintain network performance, our wholesale provider, Telstra, has had to temporarily slow this service to below the theoretically maximum achievable speed. Services affected by network shaping will typically be slowed to 3Mbps. While this action is regretted, it is permitted under clause 4.2 of the Telstra Wholesale DSL Internet Grade Service End User Interface Specification (RCIT.0016). The reason for this is to reduce congestion in the area while actions are being undertaken to upgrade link capacities.""" So it seems Telstra can under deliver for a service I'm paying for. I guess they didn't even inform the ISPs so that they at least can inform the customers. At least with that statement I guess they have now to provide a solution to this which will ensure that I get back the link speed I can max out on (720KB ~ 7.2Mb). I asked my ISP to please ask Telstra what and by when they going to remediate this problem. If Telstra does not have a plan for this problem and acceptable timeframe I will take it further like Telco Ombudsman. I thought you all need to know if you are in the same area. By the way I'm on DA145. Currently it shows as having 14 ports available for ADSL and has a blank for ADSL2+ (I interpret this as not being offered). The interesting thing is that Date of Completion for that DA is 24/11/2009. I'm there longer than that and I know it was there beforehand. My gut feeling is that they upgraded the number of ports but nothing else and that is why they throttled my speeds and anyone else's. I would like also to know if Telstra throttles someone speed if they have only 1.5 Mb link or just us fast ones. As you notice I'm very frustrated and am amazed that Telstra can get away with it. |
| Andrew Weremijenko | I came to Narre being a major growth corridor in Victoria. Fastest growing population in Australia... But I couldn't get ADSL... NOW I CANT get ADSL 2+. Very annoying when trying to run a business from home that involves the internet... |
| Tum Ruka | |
| Leslie Webster | i got told by telstra that i could get adsl2 with phone and foxtel bundle waited over a week and just got told today i live too far away from the exchange for adsl2 |
| Michael Wierzbinski | Had to go local state pollie and local federal pollie to get ADSL. Shouldn't have to resort to that! ADSL2+ NOWWWWWWW!! |
| Molli Ngin | I live in narre warren, with pair gains and cant even get adsl. Help us. |
| Vince Macri | I am in the process of moving to Narre Warren, when I found out that I would not be able to get ADSL with TPG i was devo'd. I will be using internet at my mates place until TPG make the changes required, then I would get ADSL of my own straight away. I am not goin to bigpond!!!! |
| Steve Corneille | So, here we go again. "Growth Corridor"??? There's no growth in NWS when it comes to infrastructure. It's a struggle just to have safe roads to drive on. Same old problems, same old bureaucrats. If Telstra had their way we'd still be using dial-up internet services. Where are the City of Casey Councillors? Mustn't be an election looming. Surely they should be working their backsides off to rectify this with the Telcos as a matter of urgency. Difficult for small business to actually do business. Difficult for our kids to simply study/connect with friends. What a joke. Thanks to this petition/forum for the opportunity to show how many are affected. We shouldn't have to go to these lengths though. |

| Mohammed Abdul | I live in cranbourne nth just off glasscoks rd.For 2 yrs now have been told by telstra that adsl2 is available in the area but no ports are available.Recently got a call from m telstra after our 24mnt contract finished.Told me they could offer adsl2 as there was aport avaible.Said to sign me up and guarantee that it is adsl2 .Said she was 100% sure and double checked to make sureport was available.They said they were gonna send me wifi kit after whcih I have to see paperwork and activate it.Anyway a week and half passed and no kit arrived,not that I needed it cos modem already supports adsl2.Rang Telstra and they said my account was already activated since I already had aprevious connection, made sense except couldn,t understand why the salesperson said that i had to receive kit and then activate it.So I checked speed of net and yes it was up to 4mbs up from 1.5 which I was on before.However this is not adsl2 speed which I was promised as being between 8mbs-20mbs.My speed is still Adsl 1 as adsl runs 0-8mbs and adsl2 runs 8mbs-20mbs. Brought this to technicians attention at bigpond and he acknowledged I was on adsl1.It pisses me off being lied to and having promised adsl2 and offered without my permission something else.The tech person at telstra said the phone lines can,t physically carry the adsl2 signal.Waht a megaload of bullshit is that.They know it is available but they are too damn lazy to add extra ports cos they already make afortune off adsl1.This is absurd living in a recently developed area with such low tech broadband.2yrs and they have done absolutely zero for this area but further down in hunt club cranbourne they are having ultra fast fibre optic broadband cable installed.Can not believe it wasn,t installed in this area when it was being developed.Telsta service sucks.woe to them. |

| Anvesh Jackson | I'm on Greaves Road, and currently with TPG. I've waited a year (patiently) to upgrade to ADSL2+. Rang TPG/Telstra again: same excuse "pair-gain" problems. I told Telstra that it's an outdated technology, and when they're gonna upgrade: "Don't know. Don't know who to speak to. Can't even provide ADSL2+ to Telstra customers (lies?)" Fckn' joke. Miles behind other suburbs, miles behind other countries. |
| Aaron Stevens | |
| Bhupinder Singh | I am paying for ADSL 2 and supposed to be getting speed up to 8mb because if you dont pay for ADSL 2 then you can only get 1500kb speed, even after paying so much the speed i get is never more than 3.84mb. Something need to be done and i am glad i have found this forum where we can voice our frustration. |
| Johan Tegrotenhuis | I have lived inNarre Warren North for 13 years and am still waiting for normal broadband. Were not in WOEP WOEP or behind shit creak, but in Melbourne. |
| Steven Martin | Just brought a house in Narre Warren South and cannot believe ADSL 2 is not available. |

| Josh Wright | sick of the crap latency, sick of the crap speeds and sick of the crap RIM that takes us to last decades speeds |
| Aaron Langlois | |
| Ian Allison | It's 2009 (nearly 2010!) and we're still getting internet speed delivered by a tortoise. Give us the hare you useless pricks!! |
| David Christian | would like a better deal with an isp other than telstra - too backward and expensive |
| Malcolm Sharp | |
| Harikesh Kunnathoor | waiting for adsl since last october(2008). |
| Mark Edwards | I have an exchange right outside my house on my nature strip! and telstra say i have a pair gain and no hope of getting broadband. |

| Paul Jh | Recently had a door to door salesman come around selling telstra. He told me he could match my current provider Netspace, but with ADSL2. I live in Narre Warren South, just near the P12 college and Amberley Shopping Centre. The deal was ADSL2 with 25g (libertyPlan), free wi fi modem & $180 credit, homephone, free local and STD calls, no line rental all for $109.95 a month. Told him we couldnt get adsl2 here, told me we could. Did tests with Netspace week leading up to changeover, with netsapce i had 1500k speed, was avergaing about 1.5 to 2.0 mb/s, whith the change over to telstra i am getting around the 6.0mb/s soemtimes 9.0mb/s with the best one at 12.0mb/s. :) :) |

| Alex Zuniga | I live in Berwick and same problem..! |
| Mario Micic | Ha about time telstra has had the entire country sucking its dick for almost twenty years and now the government has flipped telstra on its back pulled its dick out and skull fucked telstra to hell about time they split the service provider from the phone company maybe know that they are going to be two seperate companies they will finally upgrade our sub exchange. |
| Shilo VanSanden | Just moved into the area and I can't believe that I only have wireless as an option! This situation has been going on for years and no amount of petitions have changed the situation. Ridiculous to be in this situation in such a built up area! |
| Mark Lowe | Pair gain is no excuse for Telstra to not sort out some copper for DSL even in Narre Warren Sth on the rim sub exchange. I contacted the telco ombudsemen and pushed for a dedicated copper line and it happend. Now have 2 pstn's in, one with dsl 8m running on it fine. The speed is ok but we get penalised by cost for not being on a 2+ plan. Either way it stinks. If Telstra can't work on averages, get rid of them and let someone in that can. |

| Laurie Akerblom | We waited years for ADSL1, now we need ADSL2+, prices for decent limits on ADSL1 are way too high. |
| Kuan Lee | |
| Julie Hooper | The wireless service is expensive and doesnt work properly if not very slowly and telstra are rude and not helpful when you try to explain their service doesnt work properly. telstas care factor is zero, we have been trying to get adsl in our area for the past three years by calling telstra almost every week and still to no avail. Wireless just doesnt meet our needs. |

| Enrico Venzon | Before moving to Narre Warren South, we were leaving in the Narre Warren area and we were able to get ADSL2+. This is why we were shocked and frustrated when we learned that we can't get ADSL/ADSL2+ connection now in Narre Warren South because of the pair gain system. The government should do something about this. |

| Rachel Wilson | We are a family that moved from Beecher in Central Qld a couple of years ago to the suburb of Narre Warren South, Melbourne. We have a small home based internet business and 2 teenagers studying. Unfortunatly we cannot get ADSL here at home. Where we lived in Central Qld didnt even have a local shop but we could get ADSL. Yet in a suburb of Melbourne we cannot get it. Apparently something to do with the wires in the street. I find this unacceptable to think that in such a big city you cannot get the basics that people all over the world take for granted. Our business costs are getting higher and higher as we are having to pay for wireless internet which we find very sluggish and slow at best. The only other alternative we have is dial up. We feel this is not an option as running an internet business with both a year 12 and year 10 student studying could not possibly work. Dial up is something we used in the 1990’s and shouldn’t be used in this century. Thank you, |
| Frank Barrett | We pay top council rates in Narre Warren South and seem to be 2nd. class when it comes to Telstra supplying internet services such as adsl 2.it's just not good enough. |
| Tim Berryman | |
| Colin Miller | I have been a resident and SOHO operator in Narre Warren South for close to a decade and am tired of the lack of services being provided to us all, it seems that we are mostly dissatisfied with our current services, I for one can only get wireless and am paying a premium price for very little bandwidth in return, I am almost tempted to have us all raise the funds ourselves to effectively put in the required infrastructure and then we can choose an ISP to partner with :) .... May the peace of the internet be with you all :) ... Cheers! |
| Bryan Cheah | I live in Narre Warren South and its quite sad that I have to pay the same amount for an ADSL1 connection with less than half the speed that I could be getting with ADSL 2+ |
| Anthony Taleyratne | I live in Kimberly downs estate Narre South ..no ports for last 3 month's |
| Romel Tuitupou | any isp but bigpond. dont pay those prices. lets be honest guys i dont think most of us in casey area will see adsl2 for at least 10years it would cost too much for an isp to upgrade and install equipment in our area. best bet is to ask the government to help us we need a petition to send to the government while the money is there before its too late. ops of this website plse send our petition to the right people. thankyou |
| Carlos Ly | I've been living in narre warren for almost 10 years,until today I still cant connect ADSL,because we on pair gain system. It's not only us but so many residents up in maramba drive can't get it ADSL aswell.Why the local govermment can't look into it for us? |
| Siva Ganesan | |
| Jawad Jaffari | I don't have any internet at the moment, the only thing that is available in Narre Warren South in my street is Wireless, they told there is a pair gain System, I have KIDS that goes to school, they need internet, i am busy to take them to library |
| Stuart Porter | |
| Simon Roberts | Hi guys. Status update: I switched from 1.5Mb Optus, to ADSL2+ provided by Internode, and it's great! They're reselling Telstra ports, of course, but at reasonable prices and you don't need to deal with Telstra. Also, you can change to minimum phone plans (Telstra $21/mo, rather than optus $59/mo!!) and use VOIP if you like. Very very happy now, even if I only sync at ADSL1 speeds (distance from exchange, I guess). Check your availabilty at https://secure.internode.on.net/webtools/internode-dsl-finder PS: this site should have a forum, not just a petition. |
| Raminder Sandhu | I AM CURRENTLY USING ADSL+ IN WARRAGUL......HATE TELSTRA'S EXPENSIVE PLAS... ORDERED ADSL2+ CONNECTION WITH OPTUS IN NARRE SOUTH AREA IN REPLY I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO JOIN WIRELESS TELEPHONY SERVICE...... CANT BELIEVE |
| Raminder Sandhu | i will be moving from Warragul to Narre South.... schocked to hear about the internet situation |
| Rob Saxby | as a local resident of narre warren south, we are unable to get even adsl 1 which we have had to resort to wireless broardband, please hurry up and sort out this problem for us all asap.... |
| Tom Thorogood | That's funny the government wants to spend $5 - 10 million on faster internet, when suburbs dont even have ADSL 2+. P.S. SA supports you. |

| Jonathan Gonsalvez | I live in narre warren, but on the border between narre north and narre warren. it seems that everyone outside of my street has access to broadband. its like my street exists in a dead zone! i want decent internet |
| Jo Barry | I too am a resident of Narre Sth but I have a ADSL 2+ connection with Bigpond. After many, many hours talking to many, many different service providers I threatened Telstra with losing by monthly business spend of $700 - $900 per month. I told them i had to work from home and needed the connection. This was about 12 months ago. I have been very happy with the speed, just cant believe we have to pay extortion rates because Telstra control the lines. |

| Paola Gonzalez | |
| Andy Mindarwi | If it's a cost-issue, I'm willing to chip in so we can get proper Exchange upgrades in here. Who do we contact about changing the Exchange info in the Telstra wholesale database that still shows us connected to NAWN instead of the correct NDSH? |
| Frank Caputo | |
| Ian Leeder | Brand new estate in Pakenham. Connected a phone line for the sole purpose of ADSL2+, only to find out I'm connected via a RIM. Had to settle for ADSL, then found out there are no free ports. Cable is not available. My choice is wireless, satellite or dial-up. What a joke! |
| Alex Pascu | Just got back from Korea....100mb/s .No comment |
| Scott Hughes | I want ADSL2+ and i want it NOW! |
| Scott Huges | I want ADSL2+ and i want it NOW! |
| Russel Blanchard | I am on Pair Gain system, here in Narre Warren South. I was told by Telstra that in a few years, ADSL1 may be available at my home. I have a friend in Indonesia that at least has a 256k adsl connection. And we call indonesia a 3rd world country??? |
| David Cowan | I reside in the Timbarra Estate in Berwick & have been trying to get ADSL2+ in vein for years now, even though Optus & others come door knocking offering ADSL2+. It's frustrating when you mention pair gain they go blank but still want you to sign up to glorified dial up. So much for running an online business from home. |
| Chris Pepperall | |
| Dean Maher | |
| Melissa Barclay | |
| Sandra Phelan | I have been told that the guy on the other side of the street has ADSL2+ with Telstra and yet the guy next door was not able to be connected after a salesperson confirmed that they Telstra could supply ADSL2+. Why is that? We need to be able to stop Telstra from having the monolopy over a the ISP'S |
| Sharen Deal | When I first switched to TPG I was first promised ADSL2 only then to be told AFTER I PAID AND SIGNED UP that it would NOT be the case. Then, to keep me as a customer, they promised me that I would have the SAME speed as I did when I was with Telstra. This is NOT the case! Either get ADSL2 or I'm out! My internet is slower than a snail and it is driving me nuts! Why is it that 2 weeks ago I had GREAT speeds with Telstra but now, here I am, with CRAP SLOW speeds when I was promised the total opposite! Not Happy TPG! |
| Climant Neethinatan | Need ADSL2+ immediately. |
| Ranga Wickramarachchi | I'm in Berwick and my exchange is Berwick South. After a 8 month's battle with Bigpond managed to finally get ADSL1. From may little web research it seems that even a RIM can be ADSL2 enabled if Bigpond wishes to. I think its about time they act! |
| Wayne Stanar | i'm actually in cranbourne but we have no ports avilabe at all and no time frame of when we will have infrastructure upgrade if narry warran south gets an upgrade then we will get an upgrade down the track |
| Niro Pathi | Need this ASAP |
| Chris Kavanagh | |
| Aaron Langloid | |

| Reto Freihofer | I can't even get ADSL1 (new estate 2 years old). Pair gain was the first issue and now no ports are available. In this day and age this is laughable. In the Netherlands they are implementing Fibre to house. I cant get ADSL 1 in a big growth area. Telstra get off your high horse and provide good service to us. |
| Godwin Vaz | |
| Kristine Lockwood | We live in Dandeong & in process of moving to the Timbarra Estate in Berwick. My Internet Business is going to disappear as Telstra can't even offer me ADSL 8mb today as no ports available |
| Lisa Roberts | ADSL2+ ASAP in Cranbourne East please!! |

| Adam Singh | It's really sad to be held back due to the area you live in. How can growth occur if with don't have the Infrastructure behind it? I've had nothing but dail-up for 5years in Narre Warren. I pray that action will be taken shortly, us residents just like everyone else need access to information at our fingertips. |
| John Iellamo | Had enough of this crap. We need ADSL2+ yesterday not in the future. |
| Harikesh Kunnathoor | |
| Cyrus Barallon | Greetings folks. I have children who have to do reasearch for school and they cannot. My Optus wireless works when it feels like it. I get better reception with dial-up, this is how quick it is. The funny thing is that every month, they send their bills and (guess what?) we pay. By the way does this petition get submitted to any 'government bodies?" |
| Craig Smythe | ADSL2 plans are becoming cheaper and more beneficial to use but we always seem to be way behind other areas. Come on Casey Council...get behind this and let's all give Telstra a big prod !! |
| Kyle Hoppitt | I currently have 512K ADSL and would like to upgrade to something faster. I am very concerned to do so as my friend who tried to change his ADSL plan from one phone line to another around 12 months ago lost his ADSL port in the process and has been stuck on dial up ever since. I am concerned that any change to my service presents the same risk to me. The City of Casey is on of the fastest growing in the country, the infrastructure should be here already! Get on with it! |
| Mark Dempsey | Where is our elected representative fighting for us with a government "committed" to providing an adsl2+ infrastructure and a local council concentrating on 5 blocks around their offices? |
| Fred Besterwitch | I cannot even get ADSL |
| Yun Li | |
| Sasha Micic | i support :) |
| Alex Pascu | |
| Jeff Debooy | Good luck with your bid for ADSL2+ in Narrewarren South. I've discovered if I churn from iinet who have been good on ADSL (bliink 512 lite plan) for some years but don't offer ADSL2+ in Lara yet?? to People Telecom I can get ADSL2+ and a better download limit with faster plan through Telstra DSLAM's only downside is measured upload but this should be covered somewhat by extra down/up load limit of 8GB to 20GB total from current 12GB on old (very old) IINET plan. Also checking into bundling mobiles and home phone with PeopleTelecom for even better rate. Goodluck to all here. |
| Karen Warner | We have lived in Cranbourne West for 5 years. WE have been trying to get broadband for 5 years. Good Luck With the petition |

| Mario Micic | when we moved into narre south in 2000 we had dial up for bout 1.5 years and then adsl became available and know me thinks its about time we got adsl2+ its ridiculous really i have called optus soul tpg iprimus bigpond all say that where in aa freaking sub exchange good job telstra!!!GO TO HELL YOU MONEY GREEDY PIGS!!! every year they report huge profit margins why dont they use some of that to update their old equipment the overpaid corporate nazis |

| Sonia Miles | im in the berwick south area and we cant even get ADSL1 here been nearly 12 months we have been in this estate which is growing rapidly and still nothing has been done. I think it aapauling that an area as rapidly growing as casey is so far behind in technology, dial up is just a waste of money and wireless has virtually little or no coverage. what ever happened to ADSL being available to every house in Australia wot a joke that is.... and in this day and age how do they expect our kids to do well at school when we cant even get decent internet for them to do their recearch on its beyond a blody joke |
| Sheridan Eksteen | |
| JAYA GUNAWAN | ADSL2+ is an absolute must for Narre Warren South!!! This is simply ridiculous not to have the access to it. The suburb is growing. More and more people need access to it. It feels like we in Narre Warren are still living in the stone age while people in the other suburbs where ADSL2+ is available are in the modern world. Dial up and ADSL1 do NOT cut it anymore. I can't believe no effort has been taken to push this matter sufficiently to get desirable result. ADSL2+ is the standard of today's internet connection. Dial up and ADSL are just things of the past. Please, people in Narre Warren South deserve to get ADSL2+! |

| Jatinder Litt | Who says we are living in a developed country? |
| Rodney Juska | Tried to sign up ADSL2+ with TPG back in October 2007, as usual a line check make you smile & then, find out your on the Sub exchange with limited back-haul & no ADSL2+, please, please ISP's get on the case & have a decen pipe & adsl2+ equipmment installed. |

| Mark Snell | |
| Dante Thammavong | I had a telstra sales lady come knocking on the door the other day, she wanted to know if I was interested in signing up to telstra cable. I told her to get stuffed and told her to tell her boss to upgrade the narre warren south exchange to ADSL2+ and then come back and talk to me. |
| Wayne Stanley | l live in Berwick, and as one of the fastest growing municipality in the country, I can't believe that we are once again leaving us behind. I am forced to remain on a ADSL 1500 plan, and actually have to pay a premium for it. All the ADSL2+ plans are cheaper! And since my ISP Netspace is offering ADSL2+ plans cheaper than ADSL1 plans with the same download limits it seems very unfair to be paying more for slower technologies. So at the end of the day we all want all the sub exchange in the South area upgraded to ADSL2+ ASAP! Please! |
| Mike Allan | soon to move to Narrie South and want ADSL2+ |
| Andrew Hozdecky | give Narre warren south its own exchange and get us off a sub-exchange. new area, huge growth needs adsl2+ |
| Jatinder Singh | |
| Adrian Rawlings | As the fastest growing municipality in the country, I can't believe that the telcos are once again leaving us behind. I am forced to remain on ADSL and actually have to pay a premium for it. All the ADSL2+ plans are cheaper |

| Romel Tuitupou | i live in oakgrove drive narre warren south telstra have come in with the LOW BLOW they have speed capped our rim to 3mbs due to heavy use backhaul we CANT even get the full 8mbs of adsl1.... im thinking of moving house its that bad. is there any admins updating this site with current news? |

| Jamie Woodruff | I would love to change the title of this website to Narre Warren Sth/Cranbourne North ADSL action group. I am in the Camden Green estate. Why do councils not enforce Telecommunication requirements as part of new estates development. Someone help us please!!!! This area will only grow, there is a new estate opening on Narre Cranbourne Rd. If that gets ADSL+2 before us I am warning you know Casey! You know you can do something! |
| Mark Coulter | Lakeside estate, our old house 600m away can get ADSL, but applying for connection at new house, get the "Telstra has identified that your nominated phone line has incompatible infrastructure - "Pair Gains System/RIM" and is incompatible with ADSL. " How can an estate which is less than 3 years old be limited to technology 15 years old (dialup!) |
| Max Skillet | ADSL2+ is the future! I am completly upset with the current ADSL2+ infrastructure! CHANGES NEED TO HAPPEN AND ISP's NEED TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER! For I live in Rowville, and yet they dont even planto put in ADSL2+ not even in the next 6 months, it is absolutely discraceful how such a suburb that is filled with families and business' cannot have ADSL2+. |

| David Camilleri | So now all this has happened with the government and telstra does it mean we can get ads2+ yet?? UPDATE THE SITE PLEASE!!! |
| Beren Scott | For those interested, Hampton Park is an absolute gold mine for ADSL2+. The exchange is located on Robjant Rd next to the intersection of south gipps and the freeway. There are plenty of rentals available around here. Sometimes you need to move to where the ADSL2+ is, you cannot wait for it to come to you. Sorry, not going to happen. |
| Irwan Tjanterik | WHAT DO WE WANT? ADSL2 WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW! |
| Rommy Taslim | adsl2+ in narre warren south PLEASE !! |
| Adam Goncalves | PLEASE! I WANT IT! |
| Stewart Peeters | |
| Stewart Peeters | thanks |
| Jamie Nicholls | I live in Narre South near Centre road and I too am sick of being told that I can have it and then a couple of days later the offer is withdrawn. It is Telstra that needs to spend the money as i believe they own the crappy infrastructure (i.e. pair gain lines). They won't upgrade unless the government makes them becuase they will tell you you can get wireless broadband at about 5 times the price. |
| Jake Rozen | I used to have ADSL2+ with Telstra off Ernst Wanke road. I moved 2 km down the road near Anaconda milkbar, and have been told that due to my cabling, ADSL is unavailable. My only alternative is bloody dial-up... |
| Taz Papas | I live off Tinks rd and they claim i need the Hallam exchange for ADSL2. Please help. We are living in the dark ages compared to the world. |
| Joe Macri | i live in narre warren central after three applications for ADSL2+ with iinet,every time i rang to inquire as to why they took so long for me to be connected i was told they had no record of my application (hence 3 applications)well today i rang.(after 58 minute of waiting) i ask whats taking so long.i as told that i could not be connected to ADSL2+ well we all know why i could not be connected ? why was i not told on my first application ?i fully support this petition.WE NEED THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE NOTICE NOW.. |
| Carlos HD | |
| Grant Healey | Sick of being told, yeah sure you can get it.....only to find out a few days later NO !! If there was a viable alternative I think we'd all take it ! |

| Chris Poletti | I am sick & tired of being told that ADSL2+ is available by all the providers, including Bigpond, only to be told a couple of days later that they are sorry, but the infrastructure is not available, and their offer has been withdrawn. |
| George Mihai | |
| Sergey Voronov | I live in Cranbourne North an have bee frustrated with the lack of internet infrastructure. Most of the people moving into the southeast growth corridor are internet savvy and use it for their work or businesses, banking and social networking. Whoever will supply Narre Warren South and Cranbourne North with fast and affordable ADSL2+ will make an absolute profit. Since my ISP Netspace is offering ADSL2+ plans cheaper than ADSL1 plans with the same download limits it seems very unfair to be paying more for slower technologies. So at the end of the day we want both the sub exchange in NWS and the Cranbourne North exchange upgraded to ADSL2+ ASAP! Please! |
| John Emile | |
| Marcus Crossley | What about Cranbourne North same story why dont you include all of Casey it is not just a Narre Warren issue |
| Edwin Beer | Currently have ADSL, applied to TPG to upgrade to ADSL2+, all approved, recieved an email today stating, "Unfortunately, it is with sincere regret that we must now inform you that, due to technical limitations which are beyond our company's control, we are currently unable to proceed with your ADSL2+ application. The situation is that we've been advised by the telephone infrastructure provider in your area that the phone line you've nominated is currently being routed through either a sub-exchange or "RIM" using fibre-optic cables which are incompatible with the ADSL2+ service." |
| Debra Francis | We were unable to run our home business on dial up and were forced on to wireless come its nearly 2008, get with it introduce broadband to Narre Warren South. |
| Keih Francis | I have been trying to get any broadband for 4 years and have been applied with over 15 suppliers and many times, ADSL 1. So why are we asking about ADSL 2. Come on put the ports at the exchange and stop the lies. |
| Gail Sayers | We have to re-apply every three days to see if a port is avaliable to connect to adsl 1 let alone adsl 2. and being told your application has been rejected. Still on dial up. Casey is one of the fastest growing suburbs in Australia and still unable to get services this is really unbelievable in 2007 its not as if we are wanting it for free?? |
| Chris Ingram | ADSL2+ FTW!!! |
| Eder Tsang | |
| Ross Carmody | I am moving into Cranbourne East in January 2008, to one of the new estates along narrewarren-cranbourne rd. I (and 90% of my estate) would sign up immediatley to anyone who would give ADSL2+ with minimum of 30GB data and a static IP. There would be at least one new family per day minimum, moving into this area. Just cause we don't live in the city, doesn't mean we don't want fast broadband! <- to ISPs. |
| Ben Thomas | I'm connected to the NWS sub-exchange. Telstra have confirmed that they will give me ADSL2+ but their pricing is way above what other ISPs charge where they have DSLAMs installed. Telstra won't resell ADSL2+. That seems criminal to me. |
| Arthur Cheng | This is just ridiculous. I used to be with Tpg for 2 years on adsl and now I can't even get adsl 1, let alone 2+. Now im stuck with overpriced wireless and im sick of the slow speeds and unreliability. I'm only a 16 year old student and I don't even want to get into details of my 3 month battle that I had to battle with my ISP to fix my wireless speeds and latency's. Even though it is better now I still have to call them regularly to have my internet connection fixed. If we had ADSL 2+ we would have no problems at all. Bring on ADSL 2+ and at least make it fair!!! My neighbors can get adsl 1 but I am unable to, even though I had adsl for 2 years. Not even Telstra could connect me, and thats something to say. |
| Craig Smythe | |
| Malcolm Sharp | |
| Paul Dick | I fully support your push for ADSL2, but we would be happy if we could get just ADSL. With one child at UNI, one doing VCE and the other in year 9 dial up is just not good enough and we suffer more than our fair share of dumy spits. |
| Lydia Ropiha | I can't say I am happy that I am not alone in my frustration with current internet options. Why is Telstra still allowed to monopolise our pathetic situation? |
| Steven Jamieson | keep trying! |
| Simon Roberts | I just called Optus again, trying to get ADSL2+, and were told (again) that it's not currently available in my area. It seems like Narre Warren South, which is full of people wanting better internet, and it's not being offered. Unbelievable. |
| Travis Grenfell | |
| Jan Willink | |
| Ryan Williams | I'm sick of having to pay a huge amount for STANDARD Telstra ADSL so I can get at least a decent ping. Give us an ADSL2+ exchange! |
| MICHAEL MANUEL | |
| REBECCA MANUEL | Dial up is just not practical nowadays, we have two uni students who need the Internet constantly, and all have to share one desktop computer in a family of 6. Hope this works! |
| Imran Shah | I have been reading about adsl problems for over a year before I moved to Berwick, i really hoped things would be better by the time i moved, but just found out not only can i not get adsl2+ , but im struggling to even get normal adsl due to lack of ports on the RIM |
| Danny Lang | |
| Emanuele Pietrosanto | Let's move in to the 21st century. |
| Michael Moore | |
| Darren Shortt | My current provider has a plan where ADSL2+ will cost me EXACTLY the same as the slower ADSL1 (after 'upgrade' penalty) |
| Jackie Collins | we pay 75.00 a month for isdn which is a little quicker than dial up telstra are pigs they give us the shits the suburb is growing so fast and eveyones got computers we want adsl not dial up do we have to sell and move else where feed up.... |
| Vickie King | We are sick of the run around we keep getting and different excuses each time we ring. We are STILL on dial up. |
| Peter Hilton | Considering the smallish housing blocks in this area, this could be called "high density" living - more money to ISP's if they got it going. Thanks for the web site guys. Great effort. |
| Dennis Tjong | |
| Alan Kilpatrick | |

| Josip Hlusko | Great job you guys, can't wait till ADSL2 becomes available in our area. Keep it up! |
| Rubie Fuentes | we have been using dial up for too long now |
| Wayne Sayers | live in narre warren nth and still can not get adsl at all and have been told it will take up to years. good luck with newer exchanges |
| Liz Matthews | no ports for adsl, wireless not good so we put up with dial up in 2007?? |
| Michael Hamilton | I lived on a farm on the Mornington Peninsula for 15 years and have access to broadband there for the 5 years prior to moving to Narre Warren South. I think it is disgraceful, pathetic and hopeless that in this day and age you can't even get ADSL in suburban Melbourne. Are we still in the stone ages? |
| Francis Togara | I had broadband back in rural SA and downgrading to dial-up in metropolitan melbourne, what a shame. You can count on my vote! |
| Keith Wright | Maybe someone could tell the telecos this is 2007 not 1997.Keep up the good work guys. |
| Dave Camilleri | How pathetic, we had to fight to get adsl now we have to fight again to get adsl2. we are one of the highest growing areas in the state and yet we are left behind yet again. |
| Brett Thompson | I was also victim to the ADSL2 promise, only to be told "sorry it was a random email sent to everyone" NOT GOOD ENOUGH TPG |
| Brett Thompson | Email this site to all your friends/family in th erea. Lets get this ball rolling big time !! |
| Michael Pickard | Running a small IT bussiness is no fun when you are limited to 1gig download then get charged extra for each meg over the limit.. |
| Serle Harvey | I would just love to have standard ADSL to begin with. We have been told that we are too far from the exchange and there is a considerable loss in transmission??? We had better coverage when we lived in Cranbourne, and that is considered a country area. |
| Sandro Lai | Was told i could upgrade to ADSL2 but when i called them i was told i was out side the zone.... |
| Sandra Jackson | Thank you for your site - speaking to the ISP's only results in loads of misinformation. |
| Ian Peacock | I run a web design business in Narre South and it's extremely frustrating that ADSL2+ is still not being offered to us. God knows it was hard enough just getting ADSL1 installed (took 10 weeks after signing up with TPG - needless to say, I'm not with them anymore!)... You can count on my vote! |
| Martin Kelly | I agree, ages to get ADSL, don't make us wait. If we are on a fibre optic ring then why not cable !!! New area should have the most recent infrastructure....seems we were left with the cast offs !! |
| Saj Ganegoda | It's log overdue.. |
| Christopher Wyatt | I have just been offered false hope in the form of a migration to ADSL2+, but because I'm on the Sub it was swiftly dashed! Our Narre Warren Neighbours now have ADSL2+ let's hope they get their arses into gear and sort Narre South out! |
| Justin Birnie | |
| Adam Brock | |
| Adelaine Ng | Begging the Council to please allow ADSL2+ in Narre Warren Sth. Feeling like a backwards suburb. |
| Moragh Mackay | I am absolutely stunned that we are unable to access cable or ADSL! Surely the appropriate infrastucure should be mandatory in all metropolitan communities in this day and age! |
| James Moxham | here we go again another brick wall. |
| Ricardo Goncalves | |
| Craig Nicholls | I still can't get ADSL. It would be nice, I'm sick of dial up!! |
| Geoff Sharp | I would love std 512k adsl, cant even get that. sucks big time, might have to move. |
| Geoff Sharp | live in woodlands estate (10 yrs old)currently going mad with goldenit's very poor wireless service (usually slower than modem speed)....SOMEONE help me please. |
| Ronny McDiddy | Round up the burgers, I gotta get some of that special ADSL2+ sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickling some onions down to South Nazza Sesame seed bun!! |
| Ronny McDiddy | |
| Andrew Klat | ADSL 2+ Yes please |
| Donald Chump | What ever happened to the carrier pidgeon? |
| Ben Sligar | Whilst ADSL 8mbps is fairly quick, I would, of course, like it to be faster. |
| Damien Haakman | I am moving to Narre Warren and will be running a home business need ADSL2 for everything to run smoothly. But from what I have looked at this wont be happening for a while now. Hopefuly this site will get the ball rolling. |
| Heath Bechaz | I'm a heavy internet user (and happy to pay accordingly) and am sick of Bigpond's "unlimited" (but severely crippled) download cap. |
| Simon Roberts | I used to live in Pevensey Drive, Narre Warren South - and had 1.5Mbit to NWS exchange. When I moved to The Espalande, Narre Warren South, I'm now getting 512kbit, from NW exchange. What are Telsta smoking, when they provision lines? |
| Daniel Chalkley | |
| Craig Peters | keep up the good work guys! |
| Peter Lugton | thank god someone is trying to do something about this :> yay for cranbourne ! |
| Brian Sligar | Thanks to NAAG efforts, I went from 33.6Kbps dial-up to ADSL1/8Mbps accessing the new sub exchange. NAAG have my support to help us move up to ADSL2+. |
| Andrew Oliver | |
| Nedums Nedumaran | I dont even have ADSL1 transmission loss is too high. |
| Melanie Price | No ADSL available in my area! No ports available! Only options are dialup or satellite. Poor form Telstra! |
| Darryl Nunes | |
| Fazil Turkoglu | I live within 2/3 KMs of the sub exchange, yet I am connected to the Narre Warren Exchange approx 6 KMs away. Which 'clever' Telstra Beancounter was behind this stupid decision. Why would I want to pay for a potential 24Mbps plan, if I could get hold of a free port that is, and then only be able to receive around a disgracefull 3.5 Mbps ?? Narre Warren South residents deserve better Telstra. Shame on you Telstra, Shame !!! |

| Brett Fitzgerald | I have ADSL2+, albeit I am 6k's from the exchange, I fully support the need for a better access to ADSL2+ technologies. I would be approx 2.5K from the sub, I would get the around a 15Mpbs connection, but all I get is a pathetic 3.5Mbps link. This is pathetic ADSL2+ speeds, compared to ADSL1 max of 8Mbps |
| Rod Macdonald | |
| Dale Porter | It's about time this country caught up to the rest of the developed world as far as infrastructure and plans available to end-users go. |
| Mike Petersen | Bring on the 24Mbps to Narre South! |
| Vail Riches | Finally got ADSL now need ADSL 2+. Thanks for doing this NAAG |
| Paul McAvoy | |
| Peter Lynch | A large captured market at the purpose built Narre Warren Sth Sub Exchange. Just waiting for the taking by an ISP astute enough to consider their own adjunct unit. |
| Aaron Perera | As good as 8Mb is, 24Mb would be better, just for that faster upload speed. Good luck guys. |
| David Ballard | The Narre South Geeks need 24 Megabits! |
| Robert Cicciarelli | ADSL 2+ please ! |
| Denis Duri | After weeks of battling with Telstra's infrastructure and the lack of ports I finally managed ADSL 1500 with Optus. I would like to see the infrastructure upgraded, new Dslams and ADSL2+ capability. Narre Warren South has boomed in population and more people use the internet. It would be in the best interests of ISP's to take advantage of this. |
| Geoff Pipprell | Australia seems is in a broadband black hole compared to other like countries. We need to catch up and not be left behind. Monopolizing companies should not be allowed to restrict our bandwidth purely for greeds sake. It sucks big time... |
| Jason Fearon | I specifically want AnnexM support for Narre Warren South. |
| Elvis Bernard | Wireless speed with Goldenit is not good enough and adsl is not available so far |
| Colin Leong | Kudos to NAAG on getting this started. I am on the NDSH and still on dial up due to lack of ports. (presses the Internode reapply button) |
| Cameron Sach | Bring it on!! |
| Gary Pickering | I am still trying to get normal ADSL connected as there seems to be a lack of available ports. So the whole infrastructure needs to be updated. This will allow new and existing residents to get a decent ADSL service. Some people actually need ADSL to earn a living!!! |
| Sandra Phelan | I really believed that when iinet's dslam was installed in the Narre Warren Exchange we would be able to get ADSL 2+ Telstra still hold the monopoly |

| John McClumpha | Narre Warren South is in desperate need of ADSL2+... current broadband speeds are simply not up to date. |
