I didn't have HFC in the house, so this is new. Yes, a plate, beside a power outlet and somewhat close to the current twisted pair in the office. >>Right now I'm still on the ADSL I've always had.

Yes, I'm pleased about this aspect. I can try the new one and see if/how it works. ADSL backup at least for a few days. Internode says they have about a 5-6 day window before dropping the ADSL connection. I signed up for only 12Mbps service. It's faster than what I have now. So I should see some performance improvement. The guys at Node said they aren't getting many complaints, and those that are have sprung for the fastest service and upset by a 10-15% margin lower.
