That's mighty decent leinad. Finding out DSL and information pertaining to availability and provision in your area (or any area) from Telstra is like extracting hen's teeth! They tell you nothing because of commercial interests!
I've found this the hard way.
You may have other avenues for DSL, like: there may be a RIM with a minimux/CMUX near by to which you can be transposed to? This will allow DSL...if there are free ports available in the rim and exchange! Maybe there is a shorter path transposition is available. Maybe wireless Internet is available, like "unwired"
Telstra has tightened the signal loss criteria for DSL provision (some time ago) because their copper network is not maintained as it should and is rotting in some areas...Thus greater signal degradation.
One thing Telstra will do is sell you expensive "Satellite Internet" and not tell you of possible cheaper options.
You probably already know but:
http://www.whirlpool.net.au/ is a great source of info. But read up on their guides before you post there...they are savage to many Newbie's because this type of topic crops up many many times each day!
Anyway I suspect leinad will be able to advise you better than Telstra can and ever would.
