Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Question about telstra velocity 5May 28, 2010 9:36 am huntclubber janenguyen We are building in a smart community that has telstra velocity. l know that we can only use telstra but l was wondering can you use the fibre optic cables for internet if you dont want to connect the land line phone? From my understanding you can as your internet will not depend on whether you have a phone line or not as you get broadband through fibre optic. If it was ADSL/ASDL2/ADSL2+ then you need a phone line. Hope that clears up your doubts. Unless Telstra have had a policy change *insert stiffled laughter here*, then you must have a phone line connected in order to connect the internet in Velocity networks. Its not a technical need to support the internet, its Telstra "bundling".

So now I am confused as well? This was a few months ago though, so possibly it has changed??

Not sure when this was changed but when I started looking at smart community requirements about 2 months ago, they still had this pricing. So worth while checking out with them via phone.. also I heard that they will revisit their pricing for fibre optic so get it aligned with Cable Re: Question about telstra velocity 9May 30, 2010 2:21 pm We just had ours connected and they would not do the internet without a land line being connected first.

I read terms and conditions in Telstra and that is: You can take up your phone service with some other provider (AAPT, Primus, Optus etc) who has an agreement with Telstra but if that's the case Telstra will not give you any credit that they give out to Telstra Smart community customers.. Best thing is to read Telstra terms and conditions and land developers terms and conditions. For hunt club estate, we don't have to go with Telstra broadband but what that means it we'll only can go with mobile broand band or dialup with any other provider which is not ideal... so it will be Telstra broadband with huge bills... You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want. Cabinetmakers use MDF because its cheap… 2 10738 I would say both styles you have pictured are steel.
