My god I had such an awful experience. Shitty people did shitty work. They ran conduit under my lawn and kept saying that “we don’t have to put conduit in but the work I do is quality work”. Gaps between the conduit and ceiling. He can’t even clamp the conduit straight. Shoddy work overall. Paves removed and didn’t put it back properly. Sand all over the area. I am pissed. Please share your experience.
Also to add he started working at 8am and didn’t even finish it until 7pm then started asking for signature and said he will get the rest of the work done tomorrow. Wtf!
I reckon I was pretty much first in my suburb when we got it a couple of years back - I called my ISP the second it was available, and they hadn’t even updated their records yet.
My experience was really good, but it probably helped that I’d already paid my sparky to run some Cat 6 to where I knew the nbn tech would want to put the NTD, so it was a straight-forward drill and connect job once the lead-in had been run.
How much do sparky charge to move a cable from one side to another ? Is it easy to do it yourself ?/
I needed four cables run from one room, up two storeys, across the roof, and back down into my garage, where my network cabinet is.
I reckon each cable was about 25m. I supplied half the cable (had some left on a drum), he supplied the other half, the conduit, and of course the labour. I terminated the cables myself later.
Sparky charged me $300 for cash.
