I had a look at the opticom website, and from what i can gather, we will need to pay a connection fee of $330. After that, they send someone to install some connection box outside your house. After this is done, you can connect to any ISP on their website. Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 168Jul 04, 2016 8:53 am How's everybody's build going? We should be starting the final stage this week or the next, so not too long now. In terms of the driveway, I noticed at the somerfield contract that we need to submit a plan and get approval before actually doing anything, has anyone gone through this yet? Our builder is not building the driveway for us so we need to do it separately. Anyone got any recommendations? Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 170Aug 05, 2016 7:05 pm Hi guys How's everyone going. We have our PCI on 26th Aug. Had few delays. When's everyone moving in their house. Our stages can only have Opticom for Internet I've been told. Just can't wait to move in. Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 171Aug 05, 2016 7:08 pm Didn't know we needed approval for driveway. Let me know if you find where to send approval to and if any recommendation. Thanks aragorn How's everybody's build going?

Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 172Aug 05, 2016 7:09 pm That's great, congrats! Our pci is in two weeks. Everything's gone really well. Regarding opticomm, have you done anything yet, like looking for one of their providers etc? Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 173Aug 05, 2016 7:17 pm Hi Wow. In 2 weeks. Congrats. Opticom - been told by CLE that have to wait till settlement. But will ask Site Supervisor if he can allow them to do their bit prior settlement. Opticom is like NBN. They provide cable and you choose your ISP. aragorn That's great, congrats! Our pci is in two weeks. Everything's gone really well.

Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 174Aug 05, 2016 7:20 pm Oh sorry, in terms of the driveway, you need to send your design to the design assessment panel of somerfield (dap@somerfield.com.au) to get it approved. For the driveway I will use Nathan, he's done lots of work around Somerfield and his work seems top: http://www.njslandscape.com.au/ Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 175Aug 06, 2016 7:28 am Hi. We currently renting inSommerfield. Was brand new house when we moved in so had to sort out internet ourself. Basically you pay Opticom around $330 to come and do their bit( cable etc. select one of the iSP from their website. We went with Active8me. Wouldn't recommend them though. Had lots of issues and lots of days without Internet. On my list to do is when Opticom techs comes to do their bit at the property, asking them which ISP provider they have least issues with and going with them. Re: somerfield estate stage 36 massive delays for title 177Aug 08, 2016 10:54 am I think we got something like 5,5k for the exposed aggregate, but that's for the whole front side , not just the driveway, we're doing a bit of a design with the concrete and leaving some room for that green stuff called vegetation Good luck with your PCI, very exciting to see everyone getting closer!
