Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 930Dec 20, 2012 4:08 pm Paul Hulbert Hey Guys, Just looked today at the updated plans for NBN dated 14 Dec and it has been pushed back to April 2012 now. Also Whiteman edge has been pushed back also to March 2013. Also have noticed that the 2 FSAM box has been setup outside Whiteman Edge on the corner off Park and Starflower Place. Also a concrete pad with a white tube setup next to the inground comms box in the ground next to the 1st acre block on Park St has been setup. My assumtion is the connection for the FSAM for the fibre to the estate has been started. So I am hoping things wil move quickly now. Anyway everyones houses are comming together behind us very quickly indeed. Regarding NBN Just got off the phone with NBNCo. According to the guy I just spoke to we're looking at end of April/beginning of May for switch on. I'm seriously considering eating the $299 to run copper and the $59 to switch my ADSL to the new address, if I can't get a WiMax signal with my Vivid Wireless access point at the house. Must find out if ADSL ports are available at the exchange first. The house has now been handed over. Had to get the guys from Red Ink back out to fix the electrical even after handover as two thirds of the place had no power. Seriously, how do you sign safety check paperwork and hand the keys over without testing the electrical in the house?!?! Thankfully one of my mates is a certified Sparky with 15 years on the job. He couldn't touch the power problem because of liability issues but he's already reported the incident to Western Power. Our Skirting Boards are finished thanks to my wonderful Brother-in-law and painting inside will start (and hopefully be finished) Friday. W00T!

Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 936Dec 21, 2012 8:57 am Hey Oz, Paul in stage 2 has pretty much confirmed that Telstra isn't in the streets at all. You won't be able to pay $299 for copper line they can only provide an interim service which is like a mobile phone - no Internet over it at all. So mobile broadband is your only option. Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 937Dec 21, 2012 9:27 am I wonder what sort if signal you get out there. Trying to use Internet from phone in ellenbrook with Telstra is a killer. Only early in the morning and very late at night can one actually use it. Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 938Dec 21, 2012 12:19 pm Roadrage, your place looked like an ant nestl 6.45this am. Our chippies (both of them!!) arrived 7.00 with very little enthusiasim. Sure you'll be suprised this P.M. Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 12379 1 4964 1 2802 |
