Sydney's Internet Blackhole

Having just moved to Jannali, a fairly wealthy suburb, a figured internet connection would be nothing of a hassle. So I went about the process of re-negotiating a contract and arranging the re-connection. First thing I did once the connection was up was catch up on all my emails etc. Even playing Uno on Xbox Live was not a big prob. My real problem only was realised tonight. Halo 3. I was in the middle of carrying out a double kill when my connection went pear shaped and I droped out of the match. Once, twice... every flamin' time. So I rished to the net and looked up my area and any known problems. Found out that I am connected to the Como exchange and I  only have ADSL and not ADSL2 connection. ARGH! iinet have no plans to roll out a DSLAM in our area but TPG do... when? TBA is their answer. So I may close my Xbox Live account till this day occurs. I have gone from a blistering connection at Kogarah to a measly 1,635kbps. All I know is that I never had many connection problems with iiNet at Kogarah. Now I don't know how I'm gonna get my Xbox Live fix...
