Well, I got the notice today and I need some help so I can be prepared. You 
guys know everything. :-)  

This is an HFC connection.

Here's my main question:  Since they provide themselves a four month window for 
installation, how in the world does one prepare for cutover?

second question; do you lose your phone service immediately when they do the 
installation? Yes, I'm a landline user. Not that anyone much calls me. But I 
would like to keep my same phone number. How is that managed? Is the number 
held for you until it's subscribed with a retailer?

third question: do retailers on HFC vary all that much in their ability to 
provide speeds or is it just like HFC always has been - service level 
contention depends on how many people physically connect to that pipe?

The info from NBN was so minimal it was useless. It's all about aerial versus 
underground installing and how to complain. That's it. It also appears that HFC 
ONLY provides external boxes and nothing inside at all. So all those questions 
about keeping your own phones etc are moot. I'm back to square one.

Thanks anyone
Jan

fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
