The Big T can help you, but it it will cost you.

Hey, you’re actually not restricted to any of them.....The way it kind of works is Telstra provide 80% and the rest share. So for instance you may be able to get Aanet or IInet  as a provider once you have ADSL in the area. I found these guys to be a great ISPs over the years
I actually work for ‘T” as a main contractor and they are currently revamping the area.... yours I’m not sure. I l know we have projects to cut over Cedar Grove/Vale replacing the DLC ( PGS) with ISAM to enable ADSL2 in that area, so I would imagine the you wont be too far away.
The best option is to call or try most providers.. that way they can race to take up the remainder of the 20% left under the Gov regs.... hang in there.

Also I agree... Rally all the Glenloganites  and try to get them to register interest on the big T www pages ( I actually did this 3 years ago in my space & it worked) Do a letter drop to them all and give them all the info they will need to navigate or call to express interest. Sign up and them change to a new ISP once your contract has expired. Once you have it you can churn to anyone else that offers a better deal

I actually like the disjointed approach, true pushing trolleys up hill is a bit much i agree. Though what I like about the place is the lack of concrete construction, the lack of bright lights the small country look that it has to offer.  I generally just park myself in the middle and then enjoy the walk..   

I agree with Pennyturle, the Shire can be hard to deal with in many ways... Any news of cheaper rates is always one in my book.. Let?s wait and see. Hopefully they won?t treat us fringe dwellers

I understand the speed limits are there for a reason, though it is frustrating when you are caught behind a vehicle (of many types) that are either not capable or not road worthy to travel at the advised speed limit. I use the road system each day and I find it annoying that people continue to travel along the road at least 20 km below the speed limit; this is the contributor to promote an accident.

For the past 3 days, each morning as I was travel north towards the Brisvagas , travelling along Mt Lindsay ?Highway ?confronted with commuters under the advised speed. Today, whilst in a cavalcade of 9 cars the offending vehicle gracefully bounced its way, while all those behind poised to pounce on the next available opportunity to overtake , some  attempted suicide runs to elevate the boredom, frustration of unworthy road certificate it really should have been given.

For the past 3 days I really wished I was a member of the Police..... Really if you are not capable at driving at the recommended speed limit then perhaps you should let someone else drive or at least move to the left hand side of the road when you can.
I welcome your feedback.

Anyone know of a local weather station that is located in proximity of the Jimboomba area, most that I have found have either been Brisbane Airport ..... It would be nice to find a local weather station to get an accurate understanding of the climate....

After a lengthy battle with the big T, I have finally joined the ADSL team, which has been worth it. Now I?m faced with the dilemma of choosing a new ISP ( Contract is UP). Can anyone recommend someone that is local? Have you used them? Did you find them helpful in the moments of tears when all was not well? I would be interested to read your thoughts

From what i understand the shopping centre has been sold to Stocklands, I understand they have not renewed some leases within the building so they can renovate and or build a new shinny building. What they intend to do from there I?m not sure. Hopefully it will be something beneficial to Sunny Jimboomba.
