Telstra cable

Hi,

On the subject of Telstra/foxtel cable being laid down in the street. I’m not sure how they used to lay it down, but when they are putting the cable down these days they put it through a tube. Our area was a broadband blackspot and Telstra decided to fix this by laying down Telstra cable (according to the bigpond website its active, though some Telstra employees say its not!) so I saw what they did. They put down a white tube first then laid the cable down that, so if they really want to replace it they can.

BTW: For me one of the things that would get me to take up digital TV would be a nice free Electronic Program guide. Only problem with this is it would always be incorrect because they stations cant keep to a guide!

Thanks

Nigel
