This company has a sign on the corner of the development block: http://www.stylecraftbuilders.com.au/?page_id=130.
Although, looking at their website it looks like the strip along O'hearns rd at the corner of cotters…

They're all residential blocks so far, not being done by VU, it's not part of Aurora. The town centre is supposed to go on the other side of Cotters Rd,…

There's water restrictions, check the Yarra Valley Water website for details. However, if you're using recycled water on your garden, there's no restriction on it's use - you can even…

I've seen quite a few foxes and rabbits around the estate. We're near the creek so are very close to the undeveloped areas where they live. They're generally pretty scared…

I had a similar experience. They used the wrong type of gravel for our path and a different style of mulch. Tried contacting them by phone and email but never…

Last year we had a few in the playground near the shop and the site where they're going to build the school. I think they must have had their nests…

That's what VU would be telling them. VU need their contractors to swap you over to the new system, so your house will just be added to the end of…

Pipes is fine, it would have been perfect usage if you didn't use the quotation marks - it's the slang term used by those in the game.
We chose iprimus as…

Wow! Didn't know it happened, for others who haven't heard, here's the story: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-09/woman-shot-by-police-at-epping/2831322

Whittlesea council have a policy that all new estates include the pits and ducts for future fibre cabling, but there is no requirement to have the fibre cables installed, so…

They sent me the linksys e1000 - even though when I signed up I said I'd use my own...

How did you do your testing? You might have been connected to a slow server, try speedtest.net or timing how long it takes to download a file from your ISP…

The TIO is just the first step if you have issues with telco companies, it's a free service (paid for by the telco company members) to help consumers understand the…

VU is a member of the TIO (there's an organisation search page on the TIO website) so the TIO should be able to help if it comes to that, although…

1. Yes, that's mine.
2. My cabinet has never been locked. The builder's electrician never did, and whenever VU contractors have done work on it, they've said "Since you've got your…

There is a patch panel in the cabinet, but that can't make connections between things - it's just a neat place to terminate all the cables that go into each…

The optical network terminal (ONT) in the cabinet is not a router or a firewall, think of it more like a modem - essentially all it does is convert the…

The plans are just for central Epping, that is along High St between Childs Rd and McDonalds Rd- not the greater Epping area, so the plans don't directly impact any…

That website is very easy to use and gives easy to understand results, but you need to understand that it's measuring the speed between your computer and their server. That…

That's pretty good. Which ISP and speeds did you choose?

Yes, should be able to find them at dicksmith (forum won't allow me to put a space in that name) or similar stores.

Yes, they're identical, it's supposed to be like that.
You can plug a phone cable or an ethernet cable into the sockets. It depends on what's connected to the other end…

You shouldn't have to change your number - if they tell you that you do, perhaps you can politely point out that by law they have to, here's a link…

I use vodafone for voice (2G though, don't have a 3G phone), I've always had good signal strength and good call quality while at aurora.

Might have to make sure you can do it via SSH rather than RDP or VNC

3G wireless internet is fine for a single computer doing general internet things like forums, email and simple websites, it's even ok for skype video calls, so it's enough to…

That's expected from VU. We signed up for the land in May, they told us it would be ready in November possibly October. I followed up with them in September,…

We're in stage 13. Still haven't had fibre pulled into our cabinet, although they have pulled it through the streets a few months ago. I'm assuming they'll start connecting houses…

Has anyone else found lots of dead mice recently?
We've found a handful in our garage and driveway this morning, wondering if the weather is starting to get cold enough that…

Since your in a new area the driver may not know there are residents down there, call the council and let them know, you'll soon be added to their route.…
