DSL-Extender Brings Broadband 20km

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the maybe-i-can-have-dsl-at-long-last dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Whirlpool outlines Telstra's new DSL deployment: "Telstra announced a trial of the technology back in January, saying it would allow DSL to be connected to people who were up to 20km from a central exchange.

    I hear henrico county is giving away 4 year old "gently used" broadband for only $50 lifetime membership!!

    Come quick, theres only 1,000 memberships left, and, oh yeah, bring a folding chair,waterproof pants, extra stroller, and riot gear if possible, it's gonna be one hellava fight, but a good beat down is always worth free crap right?
