Telecom wired up a bunch of new flats with phone service the other

They ran cable in off the street along a fence in a nice bit of 25mm
tube.
Telstra came and told my neighbour that they would have to dig up her
garden, smash her foot path and then reconcret if I wanted to have
Telstra cable in my unit (second back from the road). She said NO.
A bit of 25mm tube would be unnoticeable and would mean she wouldn't
damage it but that's not good enough for Telstra...
On the other hand, a 400mm trench would be good enough, but what happens
next year when she decides to dig over the garden to put some new plants
in...? errr...
Fixed my problem thou... Joined up with Woosh and now I don't have any
need for wires, phone service is cheaper and I can use it anywhere in
the house without having to have a wifi ap if I don't want.
Cheers Don

If you can get Telstra cable, go for it, because it's far superior to
pesky ADSL.
I agree, but you pay for the non-peskyness. I am still trying to justify
staying on cable when I am capped and reamed for the privilege.
A
i had the same problem with my install, old lady in front flat situation
etc, in the end telstra Went
underground using a mole and only put 2 INSPECTION holes in witch didn't
affect the garden
of the front flat in any way and its also part of the contract to FIX
any damage caused by the install
IE cutting driveway to find a LOST mole. It is all dependent on the guys
you get who do the
underground install on how experanced they are at there job ( thy lost
the mole under the drive way
and cost them an extra day to complete the job)
The guy from telstra usually informs the client in the WORST way with
the WORST case..
i found him to be a jerk when it came to hie customer PR skills.
