Win a Connected Home Makeover from Telstra
Filed under: community, competition, connected home, entertainment, lifestyle
We love revamping our wardrobe to keep up with the latest ‘trends’ – but often, we forget about giving our homes a little ‘makeover’ love. So we want to help turn your ‘house’ into a ‘home’ of endless possibilities.
Now, don’t think ‘floral curtains, couches and cushions,’ this makeover is far more advanced than a cushion or a throw rug.
What is a Connected Home?
It’s an amazing place where your devices can ‘talk’ to each other – through the internet and your home network. A place where you can get the most from your computer, T-box, T-Hub, tablet and smartphone – even you external hard drive. Just imagine – share files from all devices within your home. Watch entertainment on demand that revolves around your family. And if you need a little tech support getting started, Telstra Plus will be there to help.
So what’s up for grabs here?
We want to give you a ‘Connected Home Makeover’ where Telstra provides you with all the in-home services and devices you need to share the things you love with your family and friends – quickly and easily. Where an array of information and entertainment is right at your fingertips; we want to help create your ultimate ‘Connected Home.’
How do I win?
We are looking for the most technology challenged person, family or home that is in dire need of some expert help to join the digital age to win our grand prize of a complete Connected Home Makeover.
Can you think of families or friends that are still using a rotary dial telephone, or that don’t have an email address but desperately need one? Someone who may be lugging around one of the first mobiles that struggles to send SMS? Someone who thinks Android is that robot from The Man Who Fell to Earth? Nominate them now!
So what’s the grand prize?
- Telstra T-Bundle Connector Edge™ for 24 months
- BigPond Broadband Home Network Gateway Modem
- Telstra T-Box®
- Telstra T-Hub®
- Telstra Plus professional installation
- Telstra Plus All of IT subscription for 12 months
- Motorola XOOM 2

- A 50” LCD TV
The grand prize is valued at over $7048.00 including GST.
What if I don’t win, is there anything in it for me?
If you don’t take out the top prize don’t worry we have four Runner Up Prize packs for the next best entries.

Whilst a home make over would be nice, I would dearly love to have some customer service actually resolve my issue with our BigPond account! 3 hours on the phone, 6 different customer service reps, no solution. After the last call my wife left in tears!
Hi Rob. Sorry to hear of your negative experience with BigPond support last night. If you use this online form to send me your account and contact details, I’ll get someone to call you regarding your billing questions. Brendan
hubby better win
at this point in time we have been without full blown internet for 1 year and 4 months, the only computer working is a mish mash of component parts put together by myself from thrown out bits and pieces, the phone I have is a t108 bought for $30 at kmart, we need an upgrade to help keep the kids entertained and save our sanity.
we have no landline phone as we have not been able to afford one, this upgrade would also need to include line installation or reconnection and service to internet. we rely exclusivly on our mobile phones for outside contact. so we desperatly require something like this. thats why when my phone started playing up I went nuts because it is the only way to get online to facebook and check news ect.
After years and years of being loyal to Telstra, I think I am moving out. I missed our one month bill due to misplaced paper and then I got extra charged for $15 for late payments. My contract for 2 years is about to finish, the one with the T-Box which most often did not work, too slow, won’t turn on etc, etc, a waste of $10. I still forgave Telstra for it. But now I will look for something better.
Hi Mel, Can I have a contact and account number so I can arrange a local team to call you? I’d like to ensure you are a happy customer. Brendan
This would be such a dream to win – we could finally become techno savvy! LOVE IT!
we would love this i am my husbands primary carer 24/7 bi-lateral above knee amputee due to diabetes along with other associated health problems the t-hub would make such a difference to hubby just to get the latest weather sports update at meal times
We would love to be able to access Telstra Internet and Mobile phones but unfortunately we are not able to receive any service from you except Home phone even though we are only 15 min from A city. This is a real Shame because we have been loyal Telstra customers for more than 20 years.
You must live near Tullamore NSW Michelle, I know for a fact there is no mobile service there, although they do have the ability to have landline service, although our current house has no land line because we cant afford it so we are strictly on prepaid mobile phones.
Please check south west australia (Waroona) coverage ! Hubby rang faults & was told must be a problem with his mob phone Letting you know everyone I have spoken to is also having probs with their mob phone (Huh) For the past 4 days have been unable to call out from mobiles or cannot understand as line is so bad as is for alot of our town.
Hello Fran. We have dedicated customer support teams and the best way to access that support in an efficient manner is to use the links above and connect with us on Facebook or Crowdsupport. You can also contact our support tesam 24×7 on Twitter @Telstra. Brendan
TELSTRA, I’m a loyal customer. Having the phone hooked up and a substantial amount of shares. To receive this TELSTRA HOME PACKAGE would be an absolute bouus. THANKYOU and here’s hoping.
Great! 4.25PM on 30 April 2012 and the form is ‘no longer taking submissions’. What’s that about?
Would love to enter but more so would love a broadband connection first of all… Only have wireless as an option and can only get 100Kb most the time as the max speed. In this say and age expect a lot better. Especially from Telstra.
Sorry about that Michael!
The software seemed to think it was still Daylight Savings maybe, but I have given it that extra hour now so please do enter.
Our apologies for that inconvenience, we will most certainly accept your entry.
Congratulations to the lucky winners.
hoping I am not a winner as the phone number (u)sim given has decided once again to be unreadable via the phone it is in, but if I am one of the winners then contact via email instead.
