But she was disappointed.

Ms Edmonds was told by Telstra there were no ADSL connections available in her area and she would have to wait for someone to “fall off” the grid.

“I wasn’t sure if they meant someone had to die or move or whatever,” the mother-of-two said.

“The worst part is they couldn’t even tell me when it looked like a line could become available.”

Then came the big hit. Ms Edmonds was told she was able to have a broadband connection with Telstra’s wireless network.

“I was told for an equivalent broadband connection with five gigabytes downloads per month it would be $89 per month and I would have to buy a modem for $299,” the 56-year-old said.

“In my old home I was with Internode, a small company from South Australia, and they charged me $39.95 per month.”

The Telstra salesperson then proceeded to tell Ms Edmonds if she signed up for three years she could “get something back”.

“But I just said stop. I don’t believe in signing up to something for three years,” the Innes Lake resident said.

“There are so many offers that I could miss out on during that time.”

Ms Edmonds has moved into The Point Dr and believed it is something new property owners should be told when looking to buy.

“It may not have affected my decision to buy here but I think we should be told,” she said.

And Ms Edmonds is also concerned that with so many other blocks being marked out to be built on in her area it may be a very long time before ADSL becomes available for everyone.

“I am disappointed. It is just something that you think you should have access to.”
