NEW TPG ADSL2+ 150GB $69.99 "Super" Plan Available Now

My GF won't let me move based on distance to the exchange. Found a place that was dircetly across the road from one.

 

I hope TGP get an Bendigo ADSL2+ Exchange soon, has Bigpond ADSL2+ only has a 12GB monthly usage (12GB for ADSL2+ ???) for $89!!!, and they count your uploads also.

 

Anyone has this in the Strathfield Area *Sydney* ?

What ADSL2 Speeds you getting?

Currently on cable optus, heard adsl 2 > cable

 

TPG are so shit, non stop dropouts at a client today. All tech support says is that I gotta take my *BRAND NEW* modem and try it at another adsl premisis.. lol

 

You can see what places they have ADSL2+ at in the link below,

I have no problems.

 

Signed up early last week, experienced a few dropouts (4 or 5 in a period of seven days).

Sent TPG email support (forum_admin@tpg.com.au) a friendly message at 9:30am on this Saturday.

explained that I had followed all helpdesk advice (check cables / made sure they werent too long, all that noob stuff), upgraded the modem firmware, disconnected all phones ect. Basically came through and told them I wasn't just another idiot customer and wanted to work with them to find out what the problem was....

Got an email reply almost instantly saying one of the techs had done a line test.

Got a phone call 10 mins after that from senior tech and performed another line test over the phone.

Fault at exchange was found, and I got another call that it was fixed at the exchange today.

I guess TPG service isnt always as shit at people make out. Im yet to call the Helpdesk (in malaysia i beleive) but im very very happy so far.

Congrats to TPG for a very happy customer.

</long blubber>

 

no problems in 2 years with three different connections...

sounds like the clients need to find a new tech guy

 

sounds like you dont know as much as you think...have seen this happen more then once, try diff modem (same model) works like a charm, somtimes try a diff model/brand and have no issues at all, i think people are somtimes far too keen to blame the ISP when its their own knowedge thats lacking....

 

Phillipines actually.

F.

 

my mistake.

 

How far away is your client from the exchange? You may need to get the line adjusted (limit the speed) to ensure connection stability.

 

Still have 70gb to dl in 14 days

Give me ideas!

 

same position!
whatever will we do?

 

LMAO share it and download that stuff from eachother

 

had a heap of problems which ended up being my mdf and other crap faulty

i thought it was my linksys modem - even upgraded the firmware to a beta

now get 7.5mbps and zero dropouts

TPG aren't shit if you know how to handle the problems

Telstra were the cause in the end

 

i got

Line of Sight: 1689 m
Estimated Cable: 2449 m
Estimated Attenuation: 34
Estimated Maximum Speed: 11000

thats too slow

 

I just connected to the 150gb plan the other day. It is great!! So goddamn fast and only 11db aten

Done 10gb since friday night. Very speedy. I'm happy!

 

just finished my first month, used 42gb peak and 115gb off peak and no probs to report.

 

how will they improve speeds and reliability for those that are further away from the exchanges? better DSLAMS? Repeaters/boosters around the communities? Improved infrastructure that carries electricity with less resistance? Trying to figure out how they'll do this otherwise we're stuck in the dial-up ages again
