Possibly not - I checked this AGES ago with out Telstra rep. and he basically said that Telstra are responsible up to the socket on the wall (for domestic or "normal" business servces), or to the socket on the NTU that they provide before it goes into your network. What you plus in they don't give a damn about - it's your call. If your equipment causes damage to their network, they charge you for it. If you're equipment is non-approved and there's a fault on the line, they'll INSIST you remove it before testing the line. I can extract further clarification from him if necessary...
