Forget about it. I lived in Durack (Fairway Waters) for 3 years, and know a guy in Telstra who does the ADSL connections. He says that Durack was built on a RIM system (not sure exactly what that means except that you can't hook it up to ADSL).

As such, it will be one of the very last areas that Telstra look at in their longterm plans of getting everyone ADSL access.

Only options are satellite or ISDN - both too expensive for me, but they are your options.

I looked at wireless and the costs were not justifiable.

Is fairwaywaters part of durak, I know for a fact Durak has ADSL2+

Also Xaine, Durak is running off a RIM. You can have ADSL off a RIM.

RIM = Remote Intergrated Multiplexer

Its a smaller exchange, running off the main exchange. No difference.

I can find out when Fairway waters will get ADSL if you like?
