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? 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!
