There’s no reason to have a land line these days, if all you want is a broadband connection, but unless you can get a ‘naked dsl’ product from your telco, a land line you must have.

Such was the dilemma facing Producer Pete who, after a blissful year and a half without a land line, has had to get one reconnected in order to work from home occasionally.

“There are only two things I use this phone for now,” Pete says:

1) to call his mobile when he’s misplaced it, and

2) to call AAPT and ask them when the ADSL is actually going to be connected.

One month and still waiting… although it’s not AAPT’s fault, he adds, they’re waiting on Telstra just like everyone else.
