May I ask for a little advise

[Mark Sierant]

ADSL is rolling out across Australia as demand dictates. It can transmitt up to 7km on a perfect bit of copper but this does not exist in a carriers network. Most networks have numerous joints as they are distributed along roadways to customers homes and often take round routes to get there. So to cover this carriers draw a circle around your exchange or rim at about 3.6KM.
ADSL service base data transmission packages are being offered at the 2 meg mark or about 45 times more download speed than a dail up. The speed can be turned up substantially if you are willing to pay for it.
ADSL requires only 1 pair for voice and data services as they are sent down the same piece of copper on different frequencies. You will need to buy an ADSL modem at about $65.00 dollars and put dail up one in the cupboard. Also you can select your own ISP you dont have to go with the broadband supplier.

Good Luck
