Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1965Dec 11, 2015 10:50 am As I've been moving the last week and not been with a computer I was 4 pages behind! Caught up now though. Jeeeeeeeeez Mal you're going to be made of titanium by the end of this, way stronger than I'd be given what's happened. I reckon you should ask them to prep your front and back yard so it's ready for landscaping haha. It's a pain to do yourself and our landscaper doesn't do any of the prep work, just comes and does whatever you've agreed to on the plan ONCE it's all ready to go. AM glad you're that closer to completion now though and the house is looking great! Is the render on the front corrected now? I went with Optus for NBN, and it's super quick and was really easy and pain free to connect so very happy with it! Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1966Dec 11, 2015 11:21 am Haha Telstra are no better if you are in Aus!! I ordered a new SIM online nearly three weeks ago. I chased it after a week only to be told my address details weren't on the order (even though they showed on the confirmation mail they sent). That conversation was a week and a half ago and still no SIM, so I used their "Leave it with us" service on Wednesday, where you email and they get back to you supposedly in 24hrs. Well they sent a mail in that time only to say they had received mine - and would respond in 24hrs!! Can't wait to see what today's says?? On the handover front I think the least that RI can do at this stage is let your trades in before hand over! I think they have stuffed you around quite enough! Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1967Dec 11, 2015 5:42 pm Hope the PCI went well Mal - how fantastic will it be for you to finally move in and enjoy your beautiful house xx Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1968Dec 11, 2015 6:24 pm Fingers crossed there aren't any issues on the inspectors report. Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1969Dec 11, 2015 7:40 pm Telstra is the worst! I called them on Monday to get a phone line, they said it was done on Thursday, plugged the phone in today and it didn't even work! So now have to wait until Monday again for their tech to come out and have a look. *sigh* Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1970Dec 11, 2015 9:01 pm trixee Telstra is the worst! I called them on Monday to get a phone line, they said it was done on Thursday, plugged the phone in today and it didn't even work! So now have to wait until Monday again for their tech to come out and have a look. *sigh* I believe Telstra have a guarantee that every household will have a telephone line. You can call and demand that they have someone get yours active or you'll call the ombudsmen and I bet you'll have someone there tomorrow morning at 7am Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1971Dec 12, 2015 12:01 am Is NBN available in your area Malsannie? When I first moved in I had to wait 4 months to get connected to the NBN (not good for an internet junkie). Hellstra gave me a temporary phone which worked on the mobile phone signals. Stoopid thing used to drop out all the time like a mobile phone. If someone in the household has a priority medical condition (even asthma) you can be considered a priority customer (doc has to sign a form for this). Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1972Dec 12, 2015 8:30 pm Oh dear your tales of Telstra woes doesn't fill me with confidence!! NBN is in the area yes - so hopefully we'll not have to wait for 4 months!! My parents will be very unhappy if they can't watch telly or use Skype. If you should go through a different company, do they also do the phone/tv alongside broadband in NBN areas? Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1973Dec 12, 2015 9:42 pm I hope PCI went well Mal and the report comes back with no issues. Unfortunately Telstra aren't the best to deal with.... Patience is definitely required. I think Redink at this point should be bending over backwards to accommodate any trades you want coming in to ensure your house is ready for your arrival.

If you should go through a different company, do they also do the phone/tv alongside broadband in NBN areas? no, had a lot of problems with Hellstra (my nickname for them). I have my home phone and internet on a bundle, dont have foxtel but that can be included in the bundle. Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1975Dec 13, 2015 12:31 am Most nowadays do voip or phone and internet as a bundle. Free to air tv is of course free, so just need an antenna. Telstra are the only ones that do foxtel as a bundle as they own 50 percent of foxtel. Other than that some providers offer quota free streaming of netflix. Major players in Australia other than Telstra are TPG, Optus, Westnet. Westnet just was purchased by TPG if I recall correctly.

Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1976Dec 13, 2015 1:12 am the NBN techos have to come and do their installation first before your chosen ISP come and do their thing too. (not sure if this applies to 'smart wired' homes though). you still put the order through Hellstra or whoever you choose. Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1977Dec 13, 2015 1:42 am Thanks guys, I thought NBN smart whatever means you don't need an antenna This is going to be painful lol - I think I might have to force the OH into doing a bit of digging They said we can get access for the blinds and security screen people and soil improvers, so hope it works out ok. Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1978Dec 13, 2015 7:40 am We just hooked up NBN with dodo i think. Pretty easy they just sent us a modem and you plug in and type in password. We don't have foxtel or anything though. Good news they are letting other trades in. Re: Yanchep RedInk build... Keys 18th? or 23rd? 1979Dec 13, 2015 10:37 am We had antenna in the build as standard, I didn't even realize until I saw it installed on the roof haha so I suppose we lucked out there. I went with Optus - entertainer bundle, unlimited downloads, fetch TV with 30 or so channels and opted for the quickest speed boost which gives me the fastest speeds we can get currently (have done several speed tests and I get very close to 100mb/40mb, about 89/35 for those who understand). All up costs me $125 and they don't need to come out to install anything, just the NBN guys do. Optus sent out a modem which has all the instructions and you just plug it in, and off you go. I could have NBN on slower speeds with the same bundle for $30 less, but I'm a speed freak so love having the fastest speeds possible, especially since in my rental I was on as slow as you can get and it frustrated the bonkers out of me!
