I've had dealings with both and have nothing but the best things to say about both of them. They turned my…

Phone line/NBN connections

I'm not too sure what you mean by "telephone line from scratch", do you mean the old twisted pair wire? If this is the case then unless you are in…

Installing a phone line - still necessary?

Page 14 lays out the amended policy rules. Basically - if you can get FTTP then there will be no copper infrastructure.

Line run from the street to the house? or cabled internally?
AFAIK, the law is such that there will be nothing at the street for you to connect your copper line.…

Hi there,

The NBN Rollout and What it means to the new Home owner

I got two of these, one each end of the house and they should cover me off for wireless quite happily.

Oh, and this sounds like the developer changed telecommunications providers half way through, this is not that uncommon. It sounds like the first half of the estate was cabled with…

No need to feel blonde, I had the same question when they were talking about it and looked it up :-)
