Optus cable or DSL?
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.
