Service number incorrect for address.

[dallas.g]

So I am looking to leave exetel for another ISP in the near future, but when I do a check with the other ISP the service number under in member facilities does not match my physical/postal address, neither is the phone number I use to make calls associated with the address, can someone please find my actual service number, or why the service number in the member facilities is not associated with my address.

I have checked your Phone number and it appears to be different. I will PM the phone number to you so please check if it is correct.

I also have the same issue. I live in Ashfield NSW and the phone number is connected to Rockdale exchange.

Can this also be looked at.

PM received. Basically your ADSL is running through a separate service number and your phone number is different to the ADSL service number.

There may be a few reasons for this.. It could have been a number change at some point or a naked ADSL request made in the past. However the phone number is different to the landline number.

The ADSL service number has remained the same to avoid disconnection/disruption of the ADSL service itself. Your phone and ADSL service would be running off the same exchange as it would not be possible to run the ADSL from one exchange and the PSTN from another. Your service is connected to the Ashfield exchange.

So if I am to change ISP's which is the number that I provide? The service number or the actual phone number? That is also part of the confusion for me.

You should provide the actual telephone number..

And I'm another one who has this same problem. When I use an online internet service availability checker by entering my phone number, the result gives a completely wrong exchange.

Why does this keep happening to everyone?

Can this be fixed for me please?

Could be the database of particular website has not been updated correctly. If you could PM me the service number, we can advise you with the correct exchange details.
