| 672978 | 2008-05-27 03:24:00 | Greets all, So I support a small business (Two actually in the same building, owned by the same fella) that are in Avondale, near the motorway onramp. Basically we were initially told by WxC that we'd get near max linespeed coz we're really close to the exchange, so we signed up for a 2nd ADSL connection in order to have it dedicated for a VoIP system we're currently implementing. Turns out WxC were wrong and we only connect at 66kbps up & 2300kbps down... not really enough for anything VoIP related, even when a dedicated line. So, ADSL, now outta the question. 4.7KM from the St Jude Street exchange apparently :( Even though his *primary* internet line works fine.. I cant access that router because Tiger Networks manage it and wont tell me didly squat :( I was suggested WiredCountry (Compass?) coz they do alternatives such as Wireless I believe... is there anything else that would be suitable for a small business with >256kbps upload and a semi- decent data cap (10-15GB? All VoIP...). Having a decent upload is *pretty* crucial for this whole thing to work, so the fact WxC were wrong is actually a bit of a deal-breaker for this job which sucks, unless I can find some alternative :( Any thoughts / comments / ideas / suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers Chill. |

| 672983 | 2008-05-27 11:41:00 | What are the rates for the "Primary" line,they should be the same.If they are are way off, get the line checked.With that upload speed,I suspect there may be loading coils on that line,as the d/s is reasonably ok.Also you may find that the first line may be fed from a roadside cabinet,not the exchange,hence the difference.
