Day 378: Still NO PHONE SERVICE!!!

We are probably getting our new home keys very soon, but ... WE STILL HAVE NO !@#$%^& PHONE CONNECTION !!!

Not Metricon's fault.  It's Telstra's and their line provisioning contractors - Service Stream !@#$%^&

Telstra keeps telling me that from their records the line is ACTIVE.  IT IS NOT!!!

So what do I do ... I'm logging a phone line fault ... as recommended in a forum I'm reading.  So, instead of typing my rants here, which can be full of expletives, I dare not,  I'll let somebody else give you their story.  It's almost the same story or experience as mine, just early days for me.  It's a good read. Highly recommended for people about to move to their new home.

And just in case I need to file a complaint and also get some compensation, some very important links ...
