I'm not sure that they can actually do that. Now that the NBN is available,
they can't actually provide you with a new adsl service anymore and
presumably they cant provide you with a new POTS service either.
And the copper pair doesn’t even go from the exchange to the house
anymore, so there is no copper pair to do that on anymore.

And even if they could for example use the spare pair that is able between
the pit and the house with most houses, that will cost you $300 to use that.

Does it actually ring the phone plugged into the modem when
you call it tho ?

They havent with mine. I just got an email from them last week,
copied to the TIO, saying that my number is gone and that there
is nothing MR can do about that. Havent had anything from the
TIO about that email yet tho.

Weird. No idea why that is happening. Maybe something weird with the
myrepublic configuration of their system in Sydney. Shouldn’t be possible.
