Pacific pines/maudsland/helensvale broadband?
I'm still on dialup in Pac Pines, we're moving to Maudsland and we may end up on dialup there too because it connects to the Oxenford exchange. Many parts of the oxenford exchange have no available ports.
I've met quite a few people so far in Pac pines (aussies and expats) who are stuck on dialup or have gone wireless.
Has anyone found a solution or heard about any future exchange upgrades at oxenford?

There is a government incentive for wireless broadband over that way, they fit an antenna and you get broadband wireless pretty cheap.
cant remember exactly who they are, byt they were advertised in the pac pines shopping centre ad board.
