Maybe a body corp issue. Perhaps they haven't had enough line capacity run to the apartment.

bFTP: And yeah I rang wireless nation today. seems they have good some awesome projects on the way, would love to support that but it might not be applicable for me because apparantly some building is in my way for line of site lol. :S

what providers have you tried?

Ive tried ALL of the main ones. I mean even if it isnt possible to get internet. Id like a reason so I can justify it in my head as it seems proposterous lol

Get a Vodafone 4G hotspot. That will be fast enough for gaming.

Can you see many wifi hotspots in your apartment? You could try doorknocking your neighbours - left right, upstairs and downstairs and ask if you could share their internet and pay for their broadband?

Have investigated this issue and can advise the following:

There is copper network at this address

There are working services at this address

Our pre-qualification tool (that RSPs use to check availability) shows that VDSL & ADSL services are available at this address but that MANUAL pre-qual confirmation required.

Point 3 may have been the source of the confusion.

There are three service requests in progress at this address with three different RSPs so the OP 's issue was likely a communication / understanding issue by the RSP sales team.

Have DM'd the OP to check that they have a service order in the works.
