Hi peeps,

Just wondering if anyone is aware of any areas or suburbs within Palmerston that dont have or currently support ADSL.

Cheers

Durack practically doesnt... moved here from rosebery (where i was getting 30-40ms pings on internode's bf2 servers) - now i'm lucky to get sub 120ms pings. God this suburb sucks in so many ways - crap connection and the neighbours living practically on your back verandah waking up your baby *#&@#**$%ers.

Seriously though, near as I can tell every suburb here supports ADSL, most of them were built after the infrastructure went in. The Chase, Bakewell, DurSLAP, Farrar, rosebery. All have it for sure - and if drvier and woodroffe didnt have it i'd be really surprised.. only one I'm not sure on is moulden, but then would you want to live there anyway?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Durack is the only suburb that has been left behind in the ADSL stakes.

I have it here in Driver (Fairway Ridge - across the road from the police station).

dont get me wrong... durack has it.. it's just flaky-assed crap.. down all the time, and high latency.

Such as having being born to parents from Palmerston. A transmissible disease that is, alas, becoming all too common.

Hey hey now Palmerston is not too bad. I used to visit a mate of mine quite regularily out there in the past. That was until my bullet proof vest cleaning bill maxed out.

Well ur livin in the ghetto now spongebob. I've been here a while, but our place keeps out the bad peoples. Sentry guns on the gate, electric fencing, minefield on the grass. Hounds to be released on my command, plus i have an uplink to an ion cannon. No ****er is getting in.

You shouldnt have any probs getting ADSL in Roseberry - but I would contact Telstra country wide Darwin office to confirm availability.

Damn mofo neighbour across the road had a party on weekend for a bunch of friends. Next morning they had a burnout contest on the dirt block across the road. I dont think we are friends anymore.

Oh well guess hell have to move then.
