Browse Forums Building A New House Re: telstra 2May 14, 2013 8:21 am $299 is the standard connection fee for a first time connection ie a new house. That covers them connecting it from the street to your property and installing one main line and socket in to your house. Are you going to stay with Telstra as well? If not, you may also want to be aware of the Temporary connection charge which applies if your home phone service is connected for three months or less. If you cancel your service within three months, you will need to pay the $100 difference between the Standard and Temporary Connection charges. Additional charges may apply for items such as cabling past the first socket, trenching or more difficult installations.
