My apologies. We're getting FTTN with VDSL. The Internode sales guy insisted that I would have to hire my own cabling contractor should there be any issues with cabling between my house and the Node. I tried to explain to him that currently Telstra maintain the wires all the way to the socket on the wall but he kept saying that they wouldn't do that. Well, it's not quite true as some of the wires are now actually NBN wires but when the Telstra Tech's have been here before to fix issues and they test all the bits between the socket on the wall down to the node and then to the exchange. <rant id=tom>This whole experience has just confirmed my all my misgivings for the current rollout and that the current NBN scheme is a huge smelly pile of donkey donuts</rant> Yes, Internode may be my choice for ISP. They are my current ADSL provider. -- Tom Robinson 19 Thomas Road Mobile: +61 4 3268 7026 Healesville, VIC 3777 Home: +61 3 5962 4543 Australia GPG Key: 8A4CB7A7 CONFIDENTIALITY: Copyright (C).
