I haven't connected the new shop with a phone, all relevant cables are installed however, from previous tenants... I have been using a usb dongle wireless modem.
Do I need to open a phone account to start getting the net?
Anyone doing a similar thing?
Phone not connected, can I still get internet?

You need a "plan" but that can include "naked ADSL" which comes without a active number (tho the phone line is still setup, but just for data)

Yep Naked.. number of different company's do it.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

Do I need to go through telstra to set the line up?? Or ISP's that provide Naked will be able to process everything for me?

Re: Phone not connected, can I still get internet?
Back in 2010, at my new place at the time, TPG would only allow me to open a "naked" account if I ALREADY had an active phone line. However, that was 5 years ago. Internode however did the entire thing for me no problems.r8response wrote:The latter.Quincy wrote:Do I need to go through telstra to set the line up??

So, in summary, if things haven't changed in last 5 years: There are ISPs which will set up the whole kit and kaboodle for you, and companies that won't (steer clear of them!).

You can't be wearing any clothes while you're online though.
