131521 2003-03-28 02:28:00 wll telecom send me an e-mail or ring me when my line is enabled for jetstart? what happened with you guys.... floyds (3095)
131522 2003-03-28 02:48:00 No.

They will ring you if there is a problem at the exchange etc, but that is all.

I found my Jetstream Starter connection was "live" when I plugged in my ADSL modem.

If your connection scheduled date/time has passed and you still don't think you have ADSL enabled, trying giving Telecom a ring.

131523 2003-03-28 02:56:00 A Telecom technician rang to tell me when our line was enabled, but that was maybe because I'd been on the list when the local exchange became enabled. and I was probably one of the very first to go ADSL on that exchange. Terry Porritt (14)
131524 2003-03-28 03:01:00 Likewise Terry.

I had my ADSL modem connected for a couple of days prior anyway, and all I needed to do was look at the link status. When it showed that the link was present. I knew it was enabled.

I would have thought that was the easiest method of determining when ADSL was enabled?

131525 2003-03-28 03:05:00 wheres the link status, on my modem ive got a green light on power and Lan at the moment? floyds (3095)
131526 2003-03-28 03:07:00 You should have an DSL LED light - is this lit up? Jen C (20)
131527 2003-03-28 03:14:00 They didn't ring me, the modem link light just flashed constantly . It turned out that they connected it one day, then switched it on the following .

The modem still continued to flash though, and to ascertain whether the link was suspect (we can't guarantee performance etc) or the modem was at fault I needed to know whether the link was live . . . which was near impossible to find out through Telecom . Anyway - the Dynalink modem was faulty, replaced it and it worked . Would have been nice to have heard from Telecom that the line was working ok so the fault finding and frustration would have been lessened .

Have been enjoying the connection ever since though!

131528 2003-03-28 03:21:00 no the dsl light is blank, do i dial in like a normal 56k modem? floyds (3095)
131529 2003-03-28 03:32:00 No, dialling is not required for DSL. The link to the exchange is permanently up unless you turn off your modem (or Telecom doesn't connect you).
