I don't know when the fuck fiber will come to my part of Canberra.

I'd seriously much prefer ADSL2+ over this Telstra poo poo.
TPG and Exetel have like unlimited (or near unlimited) plans for $60/mo (6 month contract), and fairly usable plans for like $50/mo at 24/1Mbps.

What, your place has fiber but not ADSL2?  That's strange.

Wee're getting fibre because the phone lines are being removed.
Basically the phone exchange is being 'destroyed' so that a hospital can go there.  Instead of sticking up another exchange, they decided to move everyone onto fibre instead.

So basically, all of South Brisbane is forced to go to fibre, and there's practically no-one other than Telstra offering it.
Great way to monopolize the area.
