Optus cable or DSL?

September 12th, 2004 Leave a comment Go to comments

It’s time for the ser­vics to go in. I had spent some time decid­ing whether to go DSL or stick with Optus. The ongo­ing costs are cheaper with DSL, so I trans­ferred my phone over to Tel­stra, (a pre-req for get­ting DSL), bought a modem, and rang up the sub­bie to get my DSL line installed. BUT! I have no idea where the Tel­stra line is any­more, and the sub­bis is going to charge $120 call­out and $20/15min. Aaaargh! I can­celled the switch and stuck with Optus.
I rang Optus up, they came out and gave me a quote for $280 for the under­ground cable. They gave me a sheet on what I had to do which is basi­cally do every­thing up to the point of installing the cable. So I spent Sun­day dig­ging out the power trench and lay­ing 32mm Telco con­duit. I bought extra con­duit and put that in the trench as well. You never know WHEN you might need it.
