South West Rocks ADSL

Big news this month as in May was that a lot of small areas in NSW have had ADSL enabled in their local exchanges. On the Mid North Coast South West Rocks became ADSL enabled allowing for high speed internet access of up to 1.5mb per second down stream and 256k upstream to be provided to households that use isps that utilize the Telstra Wholesale ADSL network to provide their services.

What does this means for the people of South West Rocks? Access to video conferencing, audio conferencing, video on demand, music downloads, ebay auctions and much more.

Crescent Head unfortunately has to wait until the level of interest grows to sustain the service. At present (at the time of writing) only three users have listed as interested. Telstra have not yet released a level of interest required to allow the exchange to sustain the equipment for ADSL. I know one radio announcer at Crescent Head who is just hanging for broadband so I think it might be time for a public appeal 
