Yes. It's True. It will be come available.
Found out today that 8 (Yes that's 8 ) subexchanges/RIM's hanging off the Noonamah exchange are going to have the NEC AM35 DSLAM's installed over the next few months.
Don't ask me for exact ones as i haven't gotten that info as yet.
Keep an eye out for tomorrow though as i will hopefully know by then.

Post 11

Even if it is, Ivo - there are no ISPs (as far as I know) that are providing this service as yet.

Post 12

Post 18

Post 19

Darwin city exchange is done with iinet

just having to wait for migration :@

Post 20

Thanks for that Korny. In the meantime, we'll get back to talking about ADSL2+ ;-)

Post 21

When/If Internode moves their ADSL2+ to Darwin what are the chances of getting the full 24MB Connection...?

Post 22

If they install there own DSLAMS then they will offer full rate. When Tel$tra Wholesale start ofering ADSL2+ on there DSLAMS the speeds Internode can offer will be subject to what Tel$stra Wholesale offer.
From what i've read they will be setting maxspeed to 6MB :(

Post 24

asif your ever gonna get 24 mbit from telstra or have telstra allow node to transmitt 24 mbit :P

it wont happen.

Pigs will fly first :P

Post 25

Oh corse it will happen, Telstra still make money out of Node selling off 24mbit dont they?

Post 26

Hey Phen, Do you Know if Bakewell is ADSL2+ Enabled.

Post 27

ill see pigs fly first

Post 28

Guys - as interesting as it is to know whether the hardware is in place, you won't officially hear anything until ISPs start offering the service.

As I've already said, even if the hardware is there, it will just sit there until the service is offered.

Oh and Korny - enough with the pigs already.

Post 29

It's just Telstra getting ready to offer their ADSL2 plans at less than the max ADSL1 speeds. You wont see anything happen with it until the whole country is done I'd say and they do a big release.

Still, if it means ppl like Harb FINALLY get ADSL, then its a good thing. Just nowhere NEAR as good as it COULD be.

This isn't exactly true.
A full ADSL2+ DSLAM in Karama already has about 300 people on it as it didn't have any ADSL before it was put it so it is actually getting used. It's just ADSL1.

Post 31

well this whole talk of adsl2 in darwin, is beyond me, we need it here in Bendigo first, before ...............sigh Darwin

Post 32

Capital city vs. Redneck City :)

Post 33

Bendigo isnt a capital city though...

Post 34

Can you get plain old borin ADSL in Bendigo?
And you never know.... It might already have Telstra's gear in there all ready to go and in use. Just running on the slower speeds.

Post 35

my mum can get adsl in normanton :P thats a shithole :P

Not sure what you're saying so I'll see if I can answer it both ways:

If you're talking about Node selling their service...

Only rental of exchange space, afaik.

The local loop has to be shared amongst all providers. This is why 'node can offer ADSL2+ (up to 24mbit) for cheaper than the standard 1.5mbit or less speeds as, at these lower speeds, Telstra handle a larger portion of the connection and thus, charge more for it (like port space on the DSLAM).

If you're referring to some sort of arrangement whereby node customers use the new ADSL2 Telstra DSLAM's...

Node have said this is a no-no as Telstra is to be kept out of the loop when it comes to operating their own ADSL2+ enabled network. However, node did approach iiNet with their offer of sharing DSLAM access... but iiNet didn't want to have anything to do with it at present... Which kinda sucked :(

Anyways, news is good to hear... finally Harb can stop bitching about lag in WoW :P
