Long story short...I've been using Lightwire rural wireless which is all fine but a pricey and a bit dicey in bad weather.
After finding a jack in my house with an ADSL label on it I decided to try my luck getting dsl connected.
Bigpipe seemed to think it was available and chorus apparently connected it on Friday.
So far no ADSL synch on any jack....looking under the house the wires all run to one point...as they should. However this appears to be such (demarc) point:
The digging is me looking for cables. To the right is one of the septic tank valves...but the tank is fairly old so I can't imagine it was cut to put it in.
I guess at this point I should decide this trial run is a failure and stick rural wireless?
