Some might say this is irrelevant - Sorry it is - original
diagnosis was a heart attack - he's 74 years old. A phone was needed that night…………
see where this is going.
The Telstra technicians have been crawling up and down the
street (I know the name of technician BTW) Pits have pulled out and
re-assembled, still no solution.
When I initially phoned in the non-working line (from my
OTHER landline) that IS WORKING (that I pay for) I was told the problem is in
the exchange, when the technician calls, he tells me it's MY fault and I will
owe Telstra $120.00 for a call out fee.
Soon after I received a message (dated the 21.02.13)
advising that services will be re-instated on the 25th February before 7pm………..
at 5pm on the 25th February, I receive a message, advising that my landline
service will now NOT be restored until the 8th March 2013.
THAT'S 15 days WITHOUT A phone……….. (Lucky I pay for a separate
line) so I haven’t lost phones completely. Mobiles don’t work very well up here.
You certainly can't have a conversation.
My biggest concern at this time of year, besides health
issues (as per opening paragraph) is bushfires, on the Monday the 18th February
2013, we were under DIRECT THREAT and 5km away from me was under a possible evacuation
order, for fire to impact at 4am in the morning.
Besides that we have an arsonist in the area, who has lit
numerous fires, and then there were lightning strikes last week, just over the
other side of the hill.
I pay for a service that has not been functioning properly
for a LONG time. Here is some memorable outages on the last 15 years http://itaintalwaysmylife.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/telstra-you-had-better-hope-no-one-dies.html
