I don't understand what your issue is? and are we talking about internet or tv? as you mentioned foxtel. House is wired up with Cat6, but NO HFC connection to the house. We are talking about both Internet and TV combined. The HFC connection is usually arranged by Optus/Telstra. It's usually an overhead connection. If you require it to be underground you'll need to discuss it with Optus as to what requirements (if any) they need to be met prior to doing this. I'd say at least a conduit from house to your private pole. Which isn't all that difficult. Pick up a shovel and go for gold. Extreme, I understand that and yes that is what they will do. However, it needs to be HFC all the way to the modem/router which will be inside the house. Then it can use my cat6 setup. I need to install the HFC part into the house. Does that make sense?[/quote] Optus will run the HFC/coax to the cable modem. (However most of their cablers are lazy and will want to install it on an external wall)From there you can run your cat6 to where ever you need it. Your router doesn't need to be in the same location as the cable modem. But I believe the new Optus cable modems are also a router, but you can disable this and use your own router elsewhere in the house.

You don't install the HFC part, they do. Now I'm starting to feel like a pux!! I think, based on what you and extreme are telling me, is I ONLY need the conduit to go from my power pole to the side of the garage so they can run their HFC connection. Would this be correct? From the side of the garage, I have cat6 straight into the house. They install the the box on the outside of my garage? Really appreciate the info you are giving me, helping IMMENSELY!!
