Foxtel installation times in Canberra?

[d-and-m]

We've decided to bite the bullet and sign up for Foxtel Digital. But there seem to be a lot of horror stories about lengthy delays for installation at the moment.

We were given a date in early May, but told that it probably wouldn't be anywhere near that long. Apparently here in the ACT the contractor calls to make the *real* date. I'm worried it might be later than May

Can others who have had Pay TV installed in the Canberra region give us some idea what their wait was? I realise that it may be a bit longer at the moment due to the influx of existing members upgrading to digital...

The sirens are screaming and d-and-m is howling way down in aus.tv.pay

Out of curiosity, when did you make the booking?

My upgrade is booked in for later this month so hopefully their problems will be sorted by then. However I noticed Foxtel ran the ad for technicians again in Wednesdays Canberra Times.
