Subject: Senate Committee On Broadband

Dear Sir/Madam,

I reside in Campbelltown which for most part is classed as a suburb of Sydney.

Yes for any Telecommunication use, I find that I am clased as being in a Regional area.

Hence for Broadband use, I am forced to pay additional charges to somebody who lives in Minto, which is 5 minutes away by vehicle.

Also there are a lot of Broadband providers who do not even cover Regional areas.

When is the Government going to place pressure on Telstra to include areas like Penrith and Campbelltown in the Sydney Metropolitan Area for Telecommuniations?

Yours Sincerely,

Paul Johnson
