Mernda & Doreen Residen 3797Dec 29, 2011 8:51 pm Steely Dan Only two downsides - a lack of internet access. There is no fixed line available as Telstra are currently upgrading the distribution cabling in our area due for completion on Feb 24, 2012. Using a mobile broadband service in the interim with my provider iiNet but it's a big drop from a 1TB monthly plan to a 4GB plan not to mention the difference in speed and reliability. Hi Steely Dan, I'm currently building in the Ridge on Roaming Road, due for completion March. I am currently in Mill Park on the 1Tb plan too, so was wondering what I would be moving into and that doesn't sound good :\ Hopefully the cabling 'upgrade' is useful! I have the Telstra grey isolation box on my house, I wonder if it would be useful to get a connection so I can begin applying for ADSL once the upgrade has done to secure a port..? Looking forward to moving in! Cheers Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 3798Dec 29, 2011 9:25 pm Adamantium I'm currently building in the Ridge on Roaming Road, due for completion March. Hi Adamantium, glad to make contact with a future neighbour. I'll keep you posted on progress of internet access after Feb 2012. I also have the grey Telstra isolation box but it's missing a particular cable running out of it that will enable an ISP to provide you with a fixed line service for phone and internet. Feel free to send me a PM. Enjoy your plan and current speed in Mill Park while you can, there's no guarantee of what will be eventually available here. That aspect aside there's a lot to love about living in the area. I don't regret it for a minute. Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 3799Dec 29, 2011 9:29 pm Bam We used Mark from Impact Paving Services. He did an absolutely wonderful job - very professional and a good guy. He ended up doing our 4 car garage slab, dead side of the house and back of the house with a concrete retainer out of computed concrete. He did a slab on the side of our house for drainage purposes. An he did our driveway and path to the front of our house in exposed aggregate. We will need to get him back at same stage to do another concrete path at our meter box Thanks Bam, will give Impact a call. Unfinished driveway and paths is treacherous when we have heavy downpours like on Xmas day. Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up!
