Dear Julia Gillard

As a resident of Point Cook I would like to draw your attention to the current state of internet infrastructure in my suburb. Much of the suburb has been connected to the local phone exchange via a system called a RIM. This method of connection means that houses are able to get basic phone lines but most are subsequently unable to get broadband. Those luck few that are able to get broadband can only get the basic ADSL 1.

Point Cook is a rapidly growing suburb and Telstra has failed to provide adequate infrastructure.

We call on you to please take action to help your constituents get a level of infrastructure that is currently provided to suburbs throughout Melbourne.

    • More whining about Telstra, all because the competitors do not want to spend their own money

    • Bobby, you are the clueless one, there is nothing stopping competitors installing their own infrastructure in Point Cook except it would mean they would have to invest their own money instead of getting cheap access from Telstra!

    • Planning to move to the Innisfail estate Point Cook in early 2009. The current situation is inexcusable.

    • I have been trying since we built here (six years ago) to get ADSL with a variety of excuses been given by providers as to why I cant get connected, very frustrating for a new suburb not to have appropriate infrastructure. Please help.
