are you sure your phone line is ok, corroded wires?, poor connection
in plug? (can be a fault telstra has to fix if its outside in the
ground) dial just one zero & listen to the few second quiteness if
you hear a hiss or crackle then the line has a fault (westnet would
have to arrange the repair
also are you sure you have all phones & filters removed/disconnected
before testing, a faulty filter can cause this sort of problems

Since Saturday we've had a real problem with our westnet
connection. Boost (1.5Mb to 8Mb/384k - 7GB/10GB)
I have a macbook pro (2.6 Intel core 2 Duo), my husband macbook
both running Leopard (10.5.3), usually connect via Airport Express
wirelessly
The connection dropped out completely. After re-starting the modem
a number or times, and trying with direct connection, still no go,
I contacted Westnet.
Over the following days
Techie suggested modem (Alcatel Speedtouch Home) was probably no
good (though lights on etc) , so I borrowed my daughters (same
model) .. same result.
Bought Netcomm NB%Plus 4 W wireless modem router from Office works,
still no joy
More techies, played with settings eventually connected (sort of)
with PPOA.
Rang again, slow, dropping out, before even one web page loaded, or
1 email.
Tried unplugging all phones even though there's a proper adsl
filter on the line and filters on other phone points.
Can only connect intermittently, dropping out. when connecting
there's packet loss anything from 5 out of 9 eg
9 packets transmitted, 7 packets received, 22% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 20.0/21.4/30.0 ms
Can't connect at all with airport, now using wireless from netcom.
Anyone any ideas..please!!
Also it seems there might be a trick to connecting airport to this
modem ..anyone any ideas of settings?
