I recently emailed Telstra asking if it was possible to connect my Linux
box to the bigpond cable network. I received an automated reply
informing me that cable was not available in my geographical area and
the rollout had been completed, but they did have a satellite service
that might suit.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the cable internet used
the same cable as Foxtel. Does this mean that the two foxtel points I
have in my house are only pretend ones ?
