FYI It's a bit more than "flipping a switch". They have to rewire your line at the exchange from the phone only enabled DSLAMs or whatever and wire them up to the newer ones which do ADSL as well. Then do all sorts of other stuff as well. In reality it would take less than half day to sort one house out, they just have other people in the que as well.

266493 2004-08-29 06:28:00 We ordered ours, and the ADSL was not connected within the 5 days. However, our dialup was disconnected on that 5th day - so we were left without internet. I rang Xtra and 123 (spent about 1 hour in total before I managed to get through), and they said the technician was busy, so I asked for (and received) 10 free hours of dialup, as a tempoary measure. The technician eventually connected the ADSL at the local exchange (2 days later), and we are now happy Jetstream customers. somebody (208)
266494 2004-08-29 11:00:00 Hi all
Ordered JS Saturday and got message today (Sunday) to saying it will be enabled on Wednesday. So I spose I better go and get a router and some filters.

Cheers

266495 2004-08-29 11:30:00 i called 123 this afternoon and they've bumped me up to a Wed install. Went out and got a Dlink 302G modem and a DI-614+ AP/router. I'll screw up the setup for sure, but can't wait to monkey around with it. Thanks to all for the advice! :) chatoyer (2090)
