They all rely on Telstra copper for landlines and ADSL and what ever the new infrastructure company that gets to own the copper in the ground, they will still be the ones repairing it and you can bet West of the ranges it won't be any improvement in service.

I won't be voting to split the company unless the Government pays a lot of money.

Gee, did I touch a nerve Diana with an offhand remark about selling Telstra...simply expressing my frustrations with Telstra and empathy for John's situation. You ought to take a chill pill old mate.......Merry Xmas

John, glade to hear phones back on....

Cheers,
