448976 2006-04-24 04:52:00 I live in west harbour, a reasonablly nice suburb but under the ground the technology is apparently ANCIENT !

Phone line with telecom . I cannot get any extra's, like Faxability etc because the line's just dont support it .

Broadband? pa !

We are so far from an exhange that putting in broadband is a waste of time . Speeds never going any higher than dialup . - the lines are way too old and too far from exchange .

So, I tried WOOSH !

Well im paying for 512kbps connection, i was told i would need to buy their booster antena to get a signal which i did (no signal at all without it) .

Speed tested it 5 min ago - 64kbps gee thanks woosh, I can see where my $80 a month goes!

IT SEEMS TO BE ENTIRELLY WEATHER DEPENDANT

CLEAR DAY - UPTO 250KBS
EVEN A HINT OF CLOUD - AROUND 65KBPS

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IS THERE ANY ONE OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY GETS THE SPEED THEY ARE PAYING FOR????

IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET A HUGE ANTENNA ON MY ROOF TO GET A BETTER SIGNAL? WHAT WOULD I NEED?
