I am gathering documentation on our local connectivity gaps to present to the telecommunications providers directly. Contact your local representative today and demand they prioritize our infrastructure on the next budget review. The companies are currently ignoring our calls so we have to increase the pressure.

The momentum behind this petition proves that our neighbors are fed up with these constant connection failures. Post our link on your neighborhood Facebook group today and email your local representative to demand they acknowledge these results.

As house prices rise in the western suburbs, more and more families are pushed out to Karana Downs and the surrounding areas. Our children need the same access to technology as their school peers.
We not only deal with the lack of access to ADSL, but the limited signal strength of the mobile network, and a telephone line that has needed upgrading since 1988 (according to Telstra). It's incredible that a suburb of Brisbane should lack access to modern technology.
Despite being in metropolitan Brisbane we are relying on a poor satellite service. This causes numerous problems for my university studies, my daughter's schooling and my wife's business
in 2012 we moved to Karana Downs from Toowoomba and were devastated that we went backwards with our internet! ADSL 2 and ready for nbn to barely having ASDL1! It's been nearly impossible to run an online enterprise and/or to work remotely with the unreliable and slow internet of this area. We pay the same but for crappy availability. It's time for us to be treated like we are in Brisbane!
moved to the area in 2006. Internet has always been poor but is getting much worse with regular dropping out and slow speeds. Telstra just say that our local exchange needs upgrading but won't be dealt with unless there's a lot of feedback! I can't believe that there's not been enough feedback so far as everyone I speak to says the same and have spoken to Telstra about it :(

Live within 30km of Brisbane City and yet no ADSL avail - have to pay $174 per month for 25GB data - same as options avail to remote rural areas! Absolutely ridiculous!
