    Default Correct me what's a Port

    Can someone confirm with me that a single port at a Exchange is only used by a single customer at one address.
    It just that two Telstra people being called into our address for Internet Problems in the last few months that have told me one thing and my Son another "eg" Multiple Customers of different address on a Single Port.

    Which one is correct.

    In the past, you had a clear copper connecting back to the Exchange. Now with the advent of FTTN and other devices like RIM and Concentrators, this is no longer the case. The "Port" to which he refers may well be on a or other, similar, device. I've been out of the game for too long to be accurate about this any more.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Both can be, as there are many different port configurations.

    if memory serves me correct and i could be wrong but it is one client one port but
    the line may be on Spectrum Sharing Service (SSS)

    so you could be getting phone connection from telstra and adsl through dodo
    same line 2 different providers for separate services but still only one client per
    port.

    There are two methods that a provider can use to deliver ADSL2+. Both methods require them to install equipment into your local telephone exchange, the difference between the two is what they do with your phone line.
    1. Spectrum Sharing Service (SSS)
    Spectrum Sharing Service (SSS) is a service where Telstra provides a Public Service Telephone Service (PSTS) voice band service to an end user, while also providing access to the same line to another carrier or service provider (the access seeker). This access seeker simultaneously provides other services (typically ADSL broadband) over the high frequency portion of the line.

    2. Unconditioned Local Loop (ULL)
    Unconditioned Local Loop (ULL) is a twisted metallic pair from the Network Boundary point (NBP) at your customers premises to a point of interconnection located at a Telstra exchange or remote integrated module known as a customer access module (CAM). This CAM is the point where Telstra delivers dial and ring tone for PSTN services to end users.
