Sounds like you spoke with 'Adel' @ Cartel Communications jakeau?
Nutsucow, I would expect nothing less from Telstra.. let the fun begin with the NBN..!

G'day Dan,
Yes it is true. It is the way they operate. Furthermore you will not get your $1500 rebate unless you get the phone AND internet put on..
Because I got…

I also received it, funny.. a day after I posted on here that they should do a letterbox drop

I actually found that information by mistake, purely just looking on the Cascades website (which gets updated once every 12 months).. I would of thought it would be big enough…

Hey guys!
I havent posted on here in awhile.. loving living in Cascades with my Telstra Smart Technology!
I just read on the Cascades On Clyde website that there is now a…

They did the box outside and the power supply in the garage

I think the main issue with mine is that when the house was getting built the pipe from the house to the telstra pit (across the road) was damaged thus…

Hey guys,
Yeah I am all connected up.. the broadband is mint, love it.. despite all the dramas (and its still going as far as telstra re-imbursing me).. it's all good!!
How…

I don't know who dug the trench but apparently someone is coming out again today to have a look!

I have copped it all.. I have taken a day or so off of work as I was told to be there when they got on site, 10 different appointment…

Kezza03.. that sounds IDENTICAL to my problem (6 weeks, no phone/net/tv and counting!!)

hshaw,
I dont know if I can be of help but I can tell you what I know. I am not sure about the trench, I believe in most cases that…

Thanks Leesy!
Yeah I think I am just more frustrated with the lack of communication from Telstra. Even speaking with the subbies they arent told things, etc and it just makes…

I must add a foot note though not to deter EVERYONE.. But apparently there is a few issues with my street (Bushranger) when they put the infrastructure in when the…

I am lead to believe that if you decide to go with their overpricing broadband speed internet, you get a $1500 rebate. Bare in mind that its not at fibre…

Apart from testra's sub contractors rescheduling 8 - 9 times.. on the first occasion i actually took a day off work because they need you to be home for them…

Quick update.. its been almost 6 weeks to get a technician out to my house to get the home phone/tv, etc put on.. still none!
I had to take it through…

Very good hshaw.. the forum is still chugging along.. I am on Bushranger Blvd

Yeah I quized them a while back about the cash back.. they told me it only applied if I got the net put on.
The prices are robbery, so I will…

I rang the contractor directly and organised for them to come out tomorrow
I am running a dish on my roof for my foxtel, as we…

Yeah the good old rabbit ears
I will let you know how the saga plays out

Anyone had any dramas with Telstra Velocity? I have rang them 5 times today as I was assured (almost 4 weeks ago) I would have a technician out on site…

According to the 'Master Plan' that space at the front of the space will have walking tracks and wetlands, which is subject to council approval. I would imagine there would…

Hahaha leasy.. the noise would be welcomed.. i am used to living on north road in cranny south (100km zone, heaps of hoons).. moving here, you are startled to hear…

Hahaa.. Thanks but no thanks, I don't really have the time to dedicate to something like that
We were also aware all along about it being…

Leesy,
You are spot on with the Cascades on Cranbourne East thing too.. But would you say anything if it would jeopordise the profits/image of the estate?
One of two things…

Just checked out the facebook group.. not much happening there.
I think this forum has been fantastic. I do think however that there should be a central place in which the…

It would he handy if the people from GEO jumped on here and got involved with some of these discussions.. I dare say they have a fair idea about what…

Looks like they are expanding back toward Berwick-Cranbourne Road, although the road isn't tarred yet. I went for a drive through there last night and noticed that all the kerbs…

Settlement is due either next Thursday (before Easter) or Tuesday (after Easter).. house looks absolutely awesome, cant wait to be come a cascadenite
