Hi I recently moved into an apartment block on the parnell/newmarket border. I signed up for a naked ADSL2+ connection and had it setup within a couple of weeks. Worked fine for two days (good speeds (8m/1m) no disconnects). Then I couldn't get DSL sync at all, they gave me a new modem, same thing happened. had a tech out twice saying there were no issues to be found and the building cabling was fine. both times they came the connection worked fine again for two days after-wards and stopped again.

At the moment I can't get on the net before 8pm, my DSL light flashes continuously. after 8pm I will get dropped off about every 5 minutes, and it can take up to 30 minutes to connect again. I have seen my line attenuation up around 70dB, at the moment its looking good 45 down, 25 up, with 12db S/N but still get frequent disconnects and very slow speeds (100k/200k).

I went to another ISP who said I was out of zone for broadband and that was probably why it wasn't working, TNZ say I'm within range though. the tech who came out said I was so far from the exchange it was no surprise it didn't work.

Anyone have suggestions on what I should try? Its not like I live out in the middle of nowhere, I live off parnell road and they have connected me to the airedale exchange.

I guess what I am really asking is, does anyone know of any ISP's/telcos that have gear closer to me.
