| 524871 | 2007-02-15 05:49:00 | Hi, Like everyone, I am getting a lackluster internet service. I have read countless times that distance to the exchange is one of the factors. In addition, something in the herald mentions that if you are more than 2km from an exchange, you are not going to benefit much or at all from ADSL2. My question is: how do I find out where my exchange is? (In case anyone lives nearby, I am quite near to Mount Roskill Grammar School, Carr Road sort of region) |

| 524872 | 2007-02-15 06:02:00 | The Mt. Roskill exchange is in the side road behind the Mt. Roskill Post Office. [assuming the Post Office hasn't been closed down in the last few years] |

I have read countless times that distance to the exchange is one of the factors. ) Yes if you are on the far edge. But for instance my 400m from my exchange doesn't help in the slightest. Theres more to it than just your distance - although Telecom would like you to think otherwise. |

| 524879 | 2007-02-15 09:00:00 | As far as I know, I'm 3.5~4km away from the exchange, i kinda knew it already. Anyway, it would be great if Telecom could introduce unlimited bandwidth on all plans. | msnforum (11610) | ||
