Astonishing, 1 Million Subscribers So far, Myself along with about 3 Millions other people still waiting for Broadband, Maybe Telstra could update the systems they use so that each division knows what the other is up to, I have yet to find a single person in Telstra who knows what is happening with there own division let alone anyone else's.
It is not surprising that Telstra's competitors are angry when Telstra seem to manipulate services to there own advantage, getting connection from any of the other vendors is even harder as they have the same issues that everyone else does with Telstra.
Telstra would be hard pushed to Stretch an Elastic Band, never mind install Broadband, in point cook at least....!
Angry Victorian...!!!!!!
I wonder what country Telstra is referring to with its "one million braodband customers"? Certainly it can't be Australia since we don't have any broadband here: just old technology - I think most enlightend people would call it narrowband.
If Telstra needs a definition of broadband, perhaps they should visit the Australian Computer Society website. Alternatively they could send some of their people to Sth. Korea to see what broadband really is.
SO WHAT!!! How about some REAL figures, tell us how many of those people are on useless 200MB download limit plans...can someone PLEASE tell me what good high speed internet is (if you want to call 256KB high speed that is) if you are going to have limits? Do Telstra and the Government really think the pathetic broadband access available to Australians is adequate? You can't even download XPSP2 on those entry level so called "broadband" accounts. I'm so over being so embarrassingly behind the rest of the planet when it comes to all things technological!!
Ziggi, Stop patting yourself on the back. Self praise is NO praise!!!!
1 million users only have narrowband access due to the incompetence of you and your unsophisticated engineering department heads.
WHY is the service restricted to 1.5Mbps when it can run at 8Mbps???? A miserable 256/64Kbps is pathetic. It isn't Broadband.
what amazes me is that anyone could hook up with telstra when their deals are so s**t. Rediculous prices for F.A. Any one thinking about geting telstra as ISP DONT!!! Look around at the other ISP prices, even they are crap. Internodes prices and plans make all others look rediculous. I agree with what others mentioned, about how what we in Australia call 'fast', is what the rest of the world calls slow. How am i supposed to compete globally as a bf 1942 soldier with such slow speeds.
What s**ts me is the sudden increased competition over the bare minimum adsl speed of 256 k, with extremely small download limits. We are not gonna advance that way. Not to sound like an agent of internode, but im on a plan, 512 / 128 k, 60$ a month with 16 Gig of downloads, when i go over that my speed decreeses to dial up speed, but i DO NOT get charged for extra downloads. 60$ a month, no matter how much i download. Same deal with trelstra could cost you 100$.

It is no surpise that this milestone has been reached - it is just a pity that the demand is there but the supply can not be met. I find it incredible that customers in a high density suburb of capital cities can still not get ADSL because the Exchange can not handle it, and new housing estates, are not having "cable" laid while the trenches are open. Let's keep patting everyone on the back for a job well done, instead of acknowledging that there is still so much more to do.
