Any chance anyone knows how much you guys paid for the Asset Protection under Hume Council ? I believe there r 2 parts to it...admin charges (non refundable) and some sort of levy which is refundable after the build process. 26/2 - Sales 23/3 - Colours 31/3 - Tender 14/4 - Contract 7/5 - Taps 12/6 - Site start 15/6 - Slab 27/6 - Frame 1/8 - Lockup/Fixing 29/9 - PCI 25/10 - Handover Re: Highlands Estate Craigieburn 231May 20, 2011 9:46 pm James_smith When i called Telstra to signup for a tel line, i was advised that they wont be able to provide me with the copper tel line as the area has been selected for fibre rollout through NBN. They dont know when it will be rolled out. In the meantime they can only give me with an interim phone service (which is actually a mobile phone service) without internet. Nearly 4 weeks after contacting Telstra for a new phone connection I was finally told the same as you. All the way along I was told no problems, they even booked in a technician to come out to do the connection but he never showed up, they never bothered contacting me to let me know that they cancelled due to the above so I waited around for half a day for nothing. I'm still waiting on the interim phone, their courier company is crap too, either they * and didn't turn up on Tuesday or they couldn't even ring the door bell.

I'm keen to hear if anybody has had problems with getting a broadband connection? I take an interest in it, as I work for an internet provider, and I live local in Craigieburn I was fortunate enough to get the first line connected in the CMUX/DLSAM in my estate. It took 3 months after moving into CB to get a phone hooked up, then a further 3 weeks to get ADSL. The Highlands Shopping centre is now coming close to completion (the original thread of this forum), and I've found there will be a Jetts Fitness and possibly a Gloria Jeans. The shop is due to open in the last week of this month, just in time to sell plenty of supplies for the Melbourne Cup. You can get more info about it over on my website http://www.craigieburn.net/ (hobby site). Re: Highlands Estate Craigieburn 233Oct 18, 2011 7:47 am Hey CC, once Telstra came to the party and cabled our area we got net connection pretty quickly, about a week after our fixed line connection, which was about 3 months after we ordered it. We have ADSL2.

Are the internet speeds good? Thanks in advance!

Are the internet speeds good? Thanks in advance! Aj If Telstra says that they dont have any spare ports available than pretty much no other ISP will be able to provide you with internet connection as all the internet connectivity in Highlands is done through CMUX/ISAM which means all the adsl/adsl2+ gear inside the on road housing cabinets are through Telstra wholesale. I would suggest you better look into this seriously as you dont want to end up in a brand new home without internet as myself and few others in this forum moved in to their new homes and lived without telephone+internet for 3 months+ (6 months for me). Living 6 months without telephone+internet almost convinced me to think that it was a wrong decision to build the house in craigieburn but i can say otherwise now as its all hooked up and i feel that i am living in modern age Re: Highlands Estate Craigieburn 236Oct 27, 2011 11:51 am Earlier this week, NBN announced they're rolling out starting this December in Craigieburn (Highlands) - intiially 118 premises are expected to be serviceable.

What they're classifying as 'New' however, I don't know.
