We have been with Telstra for over 10 years and in the last 3 years the service has become woeful, based on our location from the main exchange we have been told we should have speeds of around 4.5mbps on ADSL2 +. However our speeds are generally range from .10 to 3.5mbps.

At first telstra said it was our fault so we had the entire inside line replaced. We then still had issues so the line from the house to the node was replaced, the node itself had work down as inside was corroded and still the issues and slow speeds occur, it seems that in our area people generally can not get reliable speeds and we had to cancel our streaming service because we were unable to watch it successfully.

Lately now we have been having to make sure we turn off our data on our mobiles as we have experienced excess data charges as the signal is so por when our mobiles are meant to connect to home wifi they just can't. So they run off mobile data instead.

Been a house of four and having two boys how love to play game online it does not matter what the time is the speed has the game laging and kicking them off the server.

The speed is especially slow at peak downs when people are home from school and work as there is to much congestion on the lines.

Our exchange has very limited ports and with an increase in people moving into our area its just getting worse and worse. All i can say is bring on the NBN and a choice to actually get a reliable and efficient provider. We are very limited with what we can we have looked at switching perviously but there is no one else that we can switch to as they have no ports available to move us to.

When dealing with Telstra on the phone, they ask all the usual questions and try to blame the home but we have had five techs come out and test and replace everything and still poor quality issues.
