Thanks for the hook up Luke! Cheers for doing a profesh job.

Highly recommend you others who need internal stuff done, to give Luke a call, if he's available.

Im in a Velocity estate with optical fibre and ive just been quoted $550+GST for 3 points (eg: 1 internet, 1 broadcast oulet and 1 phone line) installed and hooked up to the ONT.

No Home distribution box just direct wired.(didnt think it could be done without 1?)

Every point after that will cost me $120+GST, is this a decent price or am
i getting ripped a big one?

Also i was told the lead in price of $299 doesnt include the first telephone
outlet as it usually does do to it being optical fibre, is this right or am i getting double charged for the same point?

Cheers,

Wayne

generally i thought it was to the wall,

I would put a Tv distrabution box in. they cost about $250 but worth it as you can distribute tv/fox/cctv to every tv in the house.

Worth doing properlly

all good kym hope telstra have done their bit this week.

wayne, i dont do any fibre. but if you need any phone or tv points, i can do it for cheaper than that. feel free to call

Might have a TV distribution box but not sure, i was told when i asked
about the Home distribution box it would cost another $1500 and would be
overkill for what we are wanting which is 1 telephone point(as we got the wireless phones), 1 internet point (as i just use a wireless modem) and 4 Broadcast outlets which can be used for either FTA or Foxtel (through a STB).

These guys are called D & S Communications and have done all the connections in my estate so far, so i dont think they will do a dodgey
wire up.

*Fingers crossed.

Was just mainly concerned with the price.

$1001 inc GST for the 6 points mentioned above.

Oh an Luke, if possible might get you to put some outside lights on the garage
pillars when construction is finished.
