Hello dredjesta, A RIM in its most simple sense is an inhibitor. In most cases they are put either in new estates or areas that are too far away from the main exchange. Usually there is a fibre cable run from the exchange to the RIM, then copper lines run from the RIM to each premises. Because there isn't a direct line to the exchange, in some cases it can mean ADSL is not available. Especially if the distance is too great. Unfortunately it sounds like your only options are: 1) 3G Wireless Broadband 2) Satellite 3) Dialup 3G in my experience isn't too bad, but it does depend on what you wish to do on the connection. I would recommend an antenna to boost the signal as this will help stabilise it. I hope this helps. Regards, Anthony ADSL2Exchanges |

I'm in Collingwood Park and had the same problem.. Depends on where you are. We managed to get adsl1 by applying through telstra and cancelling the application and joining through tpg. The exchange is congested anyway, we're lucky to get full speed most nights. I'd recommend applying through telstra if you haven't already. |
