(a)a business service and there is no suitable spare capacity in the cabling system at the premises to extend cabling from the main distribution frame to the location you request; or
(b)a business or home service and you do not want your Basic Telephone Service to be connected through the main distribution frame.
3.20Where we provide cabling for a home service from the main distribution frame to the first socket in your premises in order to connect or re-connect a previous service, the new telephone line connection charge will apply.
What is not included

(a)cable from a fixed termination point to a moveable structure (such as a mobile home, a caravan, a vessel or a lift);
(b)cabling across, through or under a body of water or tidal land to an isolated mooring structure, a buoy, a bollard or a vessel;
(c)clearing, digging and reinstatement of land required to install or repair the lead-in cable along the chosen or existing route on your property; or
(d)any additional cabling or equipment required to reduce, eliminate or avoid a site hazard (such as a high-voltage substation, a hazardous area or explosive atmosphere).
Reconnecting your Basic Telephone Service
3.22Where your Basic Telephone Service is disconnected other than due to our error, you must pay us the appropriate connection charge to reconnect it.
3.23You must pay a reconnection charge where you ask us to reconnect any Basic Telephone Service (including Basic Telephone Services that are on a Single Bill) that we have suspended because you did not pay what you owe us in full by its due date (and where you are not in genuine dispute with Telstra over that owed amount). The amount of the reconnection charge is set out in the table below. The amount of the charge may also vary depending on whether you have a 10-digit or 13-digit Telstra account number.
