But Cable is actually closer to his vision as fibre to the street than ADSl. But be realistic , no cable company any where is dumping huge interstructure for adsl over a phone line. Yes I have contacts too.. Edited January 27, 2006 by Mantaray

Yes I have contacts too.. BP may not dump it, but theres many leaving it and moving to adsl. as said far earlier in the thread I was on cable for 4 yrs and was squeezed off as speed dropped to 100kbs and I could only get mail after midnite. Support could only say there were probs with my mailer or Windows was configured wrong (you know, we delete logs every 7 days. So had to repeat fault about each fone call over the last couple of months on BP). Two out of the many contract techs that were supposed to come out said I best leave this area as BP has no intention of upgrading the servers and were just interested in getting newbies on (off dial up). (I figured they were upgraded to max as BP hadn't been offline for hours in the last 8 weeks as it usually was at least every month). I believe it, I believe it - I worked there in Telecom for 13yrs and I hear from current staff its worse today. Been on IInet adsl for a year now and at 22mps, voip for call costs only, and double the dload capacity for $10 less. Been offline a total off two hrs from 4am - 6am once in 12months! Sooner wireless internet is perfected I'll dump the copper phone line and BE FREE OF TELSTRA FOREVER. I see BP customers today are being sent emails about 8mbs speed. what a joke. On those cables, with those servers and the surboard modems? hheehehe hahahah Edited January 27, 2006 by Ted

(And most people wouldn't even know where their local exchange is, anyway...) I was about to up stumps on the ol' cable, but I'm a bit far from the exchange... and all the ADSL bastards operate on a "we make a hell of a lot more sales by only revealing how sh*t your speed is after you've signed up ... rather than checking out the line before signup ... hell, I'd pay them to test the line first, but then they run the risk of not getting a sale {with the usual umpteen month min, etc...}
