I think the Telsta Cable community is owed some answers.
Our gaming traffic is clearly being de-prioiritised - i would like an answer please
This is ping plot trace with VPN in use, the ping without VPN is still 230ms.
This suggests gaming &/or UDP traffic is being throttled - please explain.
lots of Telstra Cable customers with the same issue.
I have just checked my Telstra account again and the figures have changed to 2.25GB download and 8.06GB upload.
I have a ADSL 1 conection and because I am 8Km from the exchane the maximum dowload speed I get is 1.5mbps and the maximum upload speed is 0.70mbps?
Regards Chirpy.
Hi John,
The Parental Controls on our modems should work, I am using them on my modem. Have a look at the following post and see if its helps.
Ben
how do i set up multiple time periods? eg allowed 9-5 monday to friday, 10-3 sat and sunday? it seems to allow this but doesn't work.
You may need to work out a combination of Block and Allow for multiple rules to work properly.
E.G.
thanks for your reply, i will use this as a guide and let you know...
I have tried putting in multiple time periods but it doesn't seem to work - either completely blocks or completely allows. I need to understand whether this facitlity is even possible. Just because i can enter multiple periods blocking/allowing on different days does not mean that the software can handle it. Entering a bunch of days and times and trying to get it to work is pretty time consuming WHEN the software might not even allow the combinations i have entered. I therefore need a proper desription by the manufacturer of what the software can do.
OK so let's be specific about what i need to know -
a) I want to allow internet access for a certain device 7am-9pm M to F and that same device 8am to 11pm Sat and Sunday. Will this work?
b) Can i block/allow the GUEST account for certain periods of time? (when kids come over with their devices and they know the password i have to SPECIFICALLY block those devices otherwise they can access the internet at any time. Would be better to block guest access as a whole).
c) Where can i see what sites are being visited, and by which devices.
Thanks for your help.
Having the exact same thing happen here. Becoming very frustrated as I believe it is interfering with our LAN gaming within the house, causing corruption in saves due to the small interruptions in the connection. I am not ADSL however, but NBN.

10 months ago i signed up for 24 months "M" bundle.Advertised price $100,as i had a $10 discount the girl included this (have transcript) all good.On checking the telstra web page re bundles I saw that it now was $90 with a $10 discount.Phoned up and was told that was correct and I would be paying $80.This has been the amount for the previous 10 months.New email informing me that the discount was in error and as of soon I would be paying $90.Phoned up and was offered a new bundle of $69,fair enough but phone not as good and another locked in for 24 months.Of course this is he said/she said but I think this has made the contract invalid and I can walk without any penalties.Sensible thoughts welcome.The game of course is to get locked in before NBN arrives in my area.We won't mention the super ADSL2 speed ?.Hard of hearing and phone help is a problem,email address would be good to continue query.
All the best.
Look forward from any one but the fanboys.

What's going on with Telstra's modem activation system? Is it connected with the mutiple other services that are experiencing "Current Interruption"?
Error cpp007 could not activate cable modem.
Flustrated on Telstra service. How hard is to activate cable modem?
Been talking to three different persons today spend three hours on the phone and still no resolution.
Is anyone able to help?
Cheers
George
I hear that they are putting 200 more ports in the Sub Exchange at Banksia Grove.
Anyone able to show me the information on that?
I'm almost relieved to hear other people are having the same issues. I'm in Greystanes and my typical download speed constantly slows down from 4.5mb/s to 50k/s which is making my life extremely difficult for watching streaming services and downloading games from Steam.
Just wish it would get sorted.
Hi all,
I live about 1km from the telstra exchange, but my internet speed rarely goes above 2.5Mbps. I've talked to Telstra tech support and sales on the phone, and found nothing out apart from that I apparently have adsl2+. I'm currently using a brand new Telstra Gateway Max. Any help/advice anyone can give would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
