in getting broadband on, like up to a week
is there anyway of getting round that?
is it cos most people take over the same number?

Things nearly done. Re: Internet issues when you move house.... 11Mar 27, 2010 10:24 am My experience is the same as another forum user's that I remember reading about. As we are moving to an address serviced by a different exchange we had to have a new phone number. Our Internet Service Provider provisioned our new phone number with ADSL and kept the old number going with ADSL at the shaped speed, so we have access at the old address, albeit slow, at the same time. We were very lucky to be able to get ADSL from a non-Telstra reseller. Only 40% of the phone lines in our new development have provision for ADSL. Searching Whirlpool revealed many who were continuously applying, hoping for someone to give up their ADSL so that a port became available for them in our suburb. Some have been applying for more than a year. A couple of streets across from us, all the ports are taken. The speed is much slower than ADSL2, and it is more expensive, but still MUCH less expensive than either Telstra or Telstra re-sellers. Do we need a National Broadband Network? Absolutely. Should Telstra be involved? In my opinion, given their disregard for customers, absolutely not. Tasmania's rollout appears to be doing very well without them.
