Another option is Westnet but I believe these are owned by iiNet now.

Only if you have a dish. Cable Foxtel has 7, 9 and 10.

Mindarie.
There is the world's biggest dish in the back garden !!
It is on a 10ft pole and must be about 7-8ft across. It can probably pick up Radio Saturn !
iinet are connecting the line on Tues and then I call them re: the b/band.
In the meantime, if anyone has wireless internet please let me have your address so I can park outside your house later in the week !

If you have pay TV (e.g. Foxtel) you can still purchase Naked DSL, but you should know that the services pay TV requires a landline phone service for (e.g. purchasing box office movies and voting) will no longer work. Most pay TV providers have a 1300 number you can call if you still wish to use these services once connected to Naked DSL.

Re: Phone / internet / Foxtel in Perth
I believe so. The lady at iinet was really pushing naked dsl but when I mentioned maybe getting Foxtel at a later date she said that I'd then have to get a landline connected. So I've gone with the landline and b/band option so that I can have Foxtel in the future.
( this is my take on it - worth double checking, though )

Check the small print on Foxtel. I am 99% sure you do not HAVE to have a phone line. They will push and push for you to have one but I dont think its a requirement. It does mena though if and when you want box office etc you will have to call up.
Dont let them bully you into phoen if you dont want it.

I looked online for a place to email them but I need to give them an Australian phone number. 
Meanwhile, if anyone else can confirm if you need a phone line for Foxtel, please chime in!

Re: Phone / internet / Foxtel in Perth
Reading small print at bottom its ambiguous. Says you need it for Box Office and Adult Services (whatever they are
) so say you dont want those and away you go I'd have thought.

I guess we can only go by what others say, since Foxtel is not truthful about needing the phone line.
