<br>
Seems that the congestion issue is widespread, yet, that's the first time I've heard the 'switch to Telstra/Bigpond' solution - not certain that it would make a difference in most cases.<br>
<br>
As examples, the Stephens Exchange on the Gold Coast and Woree in Cairns, with customers tied to a pair gain setup and congestion after 3pm that brings a (at best) 4000kbps connection down to 512k speed!<br>
<br>
A fix would be nice!<br>
<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
We have 6 customers hanging off Cessnock Exchange, all with ADSL speed<br>
problems.<br>
<br></div>
Telstra came back with DSLAM congestion andit couldn't or wouldn't be fixed.<div class="im"><br>
Telstra currently have no plans to upgrade this DSLAM<br>
<br>
One customer went to the local member and to cut a long story short -<br>
ended up with the Telstra Retail lady suggesting a migration to ADSL2+<br>
with BigPond to overcome the problem.<br>
<br>
So just to recap:<br>
<br>
To fix my customers problem, I have to take my customer off Telstra<br>
Wholesale network and let my customer connect direct with Telstra Retail<br>
and my customer that is now not my customer will be fixed.<br>
<br>
I don't understand why it makes Telstra feel good to screw over its<br>
Wholesale customers.<br>
