I'm very happy with my current Xnet Fusion setup and with Xnet as a company, and extremely reluctant to consider Telstra after my last experience with them.....
However I'd like to get Freeview HD, and unfortunately we're in the shadow of a hill which is preventing a decent signal from getting through terrestrially. Our signal is intermittent, it works OK on some channels with a glitch every minute or two, but the TVNZ channels are at the point where they don't come in at all anymore. This is with a new UHF Freeview aerial and Sony Bravia with built in Freeview tuner. The Freeview website lists us as "unlikely" to receive terrestrial Freeview HD, even with a high aerial.
So that's where Telstra comes in. I've learned that Telstra delivers Freeview HD through their cable service. (We don't need any paid TV options).
Telstra have a broadband plus Freeview package for $69.95, including a free T-Box for 2 years.
Xnet has VFX VoIP for $11.50, which seems to be the same as the voice part of Fusion which I currently use.
Can anyone tell me if I can use these 2 services together (and without needing anything else, apart from the correct hardware)? Or is VFX (and other VoIP services) only compatible with regular copper phoneline broadband?
Is there a downside to this combination that I can't see?
Thanks in advance and excuse my ignorance. :)
