Media Release:  1 August 2006 - Gungahlin residents still missing out on broadband technology

 Go to www.gcc.asn.au for the latest atempt to survey for broadband problems in Gungahlin, ACT.

Sending me an email  senator.lundy@aph.gov.au about your problems provides me with an insight into the level of impairment Telstra's extensive use of 'pair gains' have on blocking broadband or limiting dial-up internet connection speeds.

Thankyou to everyone supporting this campaign.  The support has been inspiring. I am hoping that continuing pressure on Telstra will force them to be honest with their customers about the capacity of their network and the internet connection speeds customers can expect.  The ABC's current affairs show, '7.30 Report' investigated this issue on May 29, 2002.
