Thre are two issues here
- the cost of Telstra connection, and
- getting the cable through your house.
From personal experience, if you are house proud, it is a risk the Telstra installer will make his job easier by doing a rough and ready trick like wacking a cable through the weatherboard and inside skirting etc.
If this is a issue, ask them if they will drop off cable drum on understanding you will put the wire from their external connection point to your internal point.
It makes their job easier and stops rough workmanship.

What you say is true if you say "go for it mate", but my intention here was to let "whatthe 2007" know that there are cabling issues to consider and you should not rely on TCL to do a tidy job.
If you are in rental property, you may not care but I bet your landlord will and it could cost you money.
I was also surprised that costs TCL about $2k worth of install to get the cable to your house especially in wellington where houses are densely packed.
