Now i just need to get the phone line connected, cost around 200+ for the phone line and 60 for the connection fee. Luckily the landlord will pay for the 200+. The phone line is "gone" for some reason because it hasn't been used for a few years.

leechleechleech!

Wow.. That's pretty expensive.

I hope you get your connection up ASAP!!!!

Yup

I miss tmnut stimx. Unlimited access FTW! I don't care if it's throttled during daytime and slows down bittorent

Phone line should be coming in about one week and a half according to Telstra, if all goes well...

FYI, TMnut now offers 4 Mbps for RM 160 (US$44) plus free phone line rental. But I have no idea if the 4 Mbps connection is for real, or just to the junction box.

Oooh, that's pretty good! I hope you enjoy the internet connection!

Anyway, you are in Perth, or on the eastern side of Australia?

They should use WiMAX for their backbones in Aussieland if distance is the problem.
