I'm going to assume your answer to my question above is that you are going to replace the existing Samsung speakers with your In-ceiling ones. Speaker wire is speaker wire - it must have 2 conductors (+ & -). Most use a 'side-by-side' or 'figure 8' type speaker cable but some (eg. Bose) use coa...

Thanks so much, Rod!! That's what I was asking about. Besides cutting the Samsung wires, are they any other ways to con...

Hi, Sorry I have a silly question about antenna. I am currently looking for antenna. My friend suggested me to install digital only arial because it is cheaper and smaller.... I just wonder if the digital only arial can work as a "normal" antenna that we can watch local TV (channel 7, 9, 1...

$88 per month for a bundle of 25Gb ADSL and home phone from Telstra, is it reasonable?

We were only charged a $59 connection fee as we'd dug our own trench, laid the conduit, and already had the little telstra box thingo that goes on the outside wall. Oh really? I found a telstra box outside my house too (near the wall attached the meter box), does that mean I just need to pay $59 to...

Thanks for everyone's replies. It is absolutely helpful!! How much do we need to pay for connection? Is it $299? As 2 phone sockets (1 for alarm and 1 for normal phone) have been fitted by builder in our house, will Telstra charge extra for that? Sorry for asking silly questions. Thanks again for ev...

But we already have phone point in the home...and according to our contract, it said "provide Telstra underground telephone connection" which costs $250.... If we need to pay Telstra for connection ($299 for a new phone line), where is the point we pay our builder for it? Are they *** us? ...
