G'day listers,

Another one for Bob or anyone who knows what goes on inside Telstra these days:

I applied for an ADSL connection through Optus for a line on the Joondalup 9300 exchange and also another one on the Osborne Park 9443 exchange and Optus came back and said that Telstra were saying that both those exchanges are "full" and that the only way I could get a connection would be if someone else gave one up!

I can hardly believe that - this means that in the midst of an explosion of low cost ADSL marketing by all and sundry, Joondalup and Osborne Park are left out. Surely this can't be true.

Anyone had similar experiences?

Regards

Yeah, it is not uncommon in some areas for the DSLAM to be fully used and no plan to add any more frames atm (a frame holds multiple DSLAM cards with multiple ports) the expansion systems are not as expensive as an inital install but are still pricy.

The situation is worse if you are in an area fed from a RIM, as a RIM can only support so many dsl circuits, then they need to add more fibre capcity to provide more dsl circuits.

Kat.
