Optus phone line means that ADSL cannot be connected. Optus phone lines go
through the cable system and not the telephone exchange system. You must
have a landline (telstra, primus etc) to get ADSL connected. This is the
dilemma we are facing as we want to change off Optus cable but we're going
to get charged a lot of money to get a telstra line connected and pay
monthly fees on it.
