Just shows to go you!

That is correct. I have Optus cable. My landline is on the same cable and so was my TV (since disconnected Optus Cable TV and moved to Foxtel satellite as it is a far better deal).

I use a VoIP phone for IDD, STD, and calls to mobiles.

I have enquired from several ISPs about ADSL and they all say it isn't available to my address.

Thanks, interesting article.

I have also switched to optus, with premium speed pack, after a telstra technician told me i was lying about the speed i was getting 800Kb/sec and that in my area i could not expect more than 200Kb/sec. Now am getting 12Mb/sec with optus with pictures to prove it,so **** you telstra. Im in Brisbane by the way too.
