Tell you what... Telstra aren't going to make a return on their investment
either if my experience today is anything to go by.

I have one of their little green boxes 10 meters from my from my back door
and they will not connect me to a domestic data service.

Having put investment in I would have thought they would be bending over
backwards to get customers connect!

Oh well.... I already have 1 Telecom Xtra ADSL service, I guess I will just
have to get a second line from Telecom and a second ADSL service rather than
my plan (which was to get cable from Telstra).

Cheers DiG
