I spent a week making about 20 phone calls with all the different providers who all in their own way gave me the run-around with connection dates, then couldn't find the apartment, or the exchange, or give me an estimate on how long it would take to get connected yadda yadda... So, crushed under the burden of bureaucracy, I relented and with the one company who actually seemed to give me close to a solution I was after... I know - I will burn in hell. Yup – Tel$tra.

We just cannot get it because our stupid Government sold Telstra the rights to everything. Telstra owns broadband in Australia. They make it impossible for the other ISPs to get their own DSLAMs into the exchanges, and charge ridiculous amounts at Wholesale, let alone retail. It is, indeed, a joke. www.whirlpool.net.au Oh but we do demand more. We just cannot get it because our stupid Government sold Telstra the rights to everything. Telstra owns broadband in Australia.
