Unfortunately due to several fuck arounds by telstra I haven't been able to get net at the new place
1. ADSL and the phone line was supposed to be, then confirmed it would be via a txt message, active on the 24th, 3 days before we moved in
2. Phone line was only activated on the 28th, and after we rang up complaining several times, Telstra claimed that the ADSL wont be available until the 3/8 at the latest
3. Today I plug in a landline phone I just bought and found there was no dial tone. I check the telstra box downstairs and found that someone had physically cut all the wiring in the box + cut sections out of the phone lines running out of the box. Call telstra and they claim they'll have a tech out by the 8th at the latest
Best case scenario is that i'll be back online on the 3rd, because I'm tempted to just fix the lines myself.
Worst case is, after I call the TIO and rage to high hell, sometime after that
I am still semi active on the p4f forums but its starting to chew into my mobile phones usage
Regards
Yasti

Not good to hear, hopefully they give u some good lines for fast speeds! Cutting the wires is sort of normal practice... but really only for Cable/foxtel etc... contractors must have just cut everything!
didnt tsv get NBN tho?

some parts have NBN with others in the works. My area is pegged to get it but its not active yet.
Truth be told i think the previous tenants went to town on all the wiring...I heard they were a rough bunch who had to be forcibly removed from the property
