When we moved out here to Murrumbateman I was careful to check with Telstra beforehand that they were planning to supply an adsl service - when we bought the land there were no houses out here at all and no power etc. They confirmed that adsl was going in along with power and phone etc.

When our house was about halfway built the telstra service came online and I applied for 8Mb adsl1, got it, checked it and it was indeed about 8Mbit downloads (750kb/s).

When we moved into this house I was still seeing around 8Mbit downloads.

Sometime in the next 12 months I noticed that my max speed was down to 3Mbit, and there it has stayed for the last 2 years despite my questions. I'm sure that telstra are intentionally throttling this, probably due to everyone out here using adsl.

I'm with internode (one of the best isp's imho) but still have to use the telstra infrastructure out here.

Not happy.

cheers, Bird
