<p>They only install the cards once an order has been placed, took 2 weeks for them to install one for me, I was the first in the cabinet.</p>

<pre>Actually Bill if you look very closely at the tool you'll see I could
get VDSL dropped just next door... according to the tool.
Now I'm sure everyone on list is thinking "Well if such a tool as Don
can get a drop next door... ya!"
In fact the tool is wrong. Talking to the local cabinet techs, there
aren't any VDSL2 cards in the cabinets at all.

<pre>I don't have a business grade service.
22 emails asking about access to the fibre running down the street and
eventually I found out that there is no fibre running there at all.
Again, same tool as above is just not correct, but this time a different
tech who just looked up above his head and declared "no mate, there's no
trunk fibre in that at all".

Last time I looked they also did not have a 100mbit HFC offering in the
business space and only offered me a 7Mbit VDSL service off a VDSL DSLAM
that I also know is NOT in the cabinet at the end of the street.
22 emails.... 22... I have to say the guys from team.Telstra.com.au
where very helpful, very polite and then sold the company to Vodafone 12
months after I rang - thanks guys... not sure if that's helpful yet.
