I am about to have handover of my first home I asked my SS and he said that it looks like my phone connection is from the pit to the house, as per the image below is appears that could be the case but from what I have read you usually have to get that done after handover... am I wrong or have I just got myself a freebe?

We haven't had handover yet but we did organise recently with Telstra for them to connect the line and what not. We have a little thing exactly like yours but it did cost $299! Re: Phone connection new house 4Apr 24, 2010 9:12 am cheetah yeah I do still expect to pay the $299 but I thought it would be a further $300+ to connect it to the house you have had the NTD and been cabled to the pit and if you had any telephone wires poking out at that point it is now connected. you should only pay $299.. that is if you don't need your cabler to return to do the first point Kodiak Data Cabling onFaceBook Consult*, Design and Installation Data, TV, Home Theatre/ AV Cabling, Multi Room Audio, IP CCTV and Door Intercoms Ask for a Quote. *DIY DATA Cabling Is Ilegal Re: Phone connection new house 6Apr 24, 2010 9:48 am Lex Errr... what's NTD and can you post that pic again cheetah?

So, where does it go? On the wall of the house? Who installs it? Who pays for it (I'm sensing the answer )? And all wires going into the external world are Telstra's responsibility, while all wires going into the house are my (ie. my hired cabler's) responsibility?
