Where I am, I get one dot of signal strength for calls on my iPhone. Steady 4G data connection.

Whenever there is an outage, I get three stable dots (out of four), and intermittent 3G...for an hour or so.

Then back to normal. If I want a stable call I need to go outside and maintain that one dot. My SIM has been changed three times ... as that was thought the issue, initially.

Telstra now keeps insisting it's the phone, but anywhere else it is happily doin' fine, soooooo...thank you Telstra for "upgrading" the local tower and introducing the problem two years ago.

Sounds similar to here,(phone calls don't get through and I have to walk outside to send a text message).

Internet is with Optus and the Internet regularly drops out and I have to reset the modem to get it back,(our line

speed is below 4 Mbps and it's the maximum we can get).

A house that's less than 100 metres away has Broadband but we can't get it,(houses that are 800 metres closer

to town can't get it because there are trees in the way).

That's telecommunication for you,(slug you for a service that's carp and when you try others they are no

better),

That's why I haven't changed. I need the data to be good...that at least is usually strong. Optus, no.

Ours was no better when we were with Telstra until January this year,(changing has made little difference).

I still have no phone service since this morning

Apparently tel$tra is giving its customers free data on the 3rd of april to compensate for the "distruptions"

Re: Thankyou tel$tra..

amber-eyed-girl — Tue, 22 Mar 2016 08:08:37 GMT

Yes they are.

That was for the last outage.

They did one free data Sunday for the first major outage...businesses complained it was not a fair compensation as the outage occurred on a weekday and was a real disruption.

I agree. To give "free data" on a weekend when few would be using it, as compensation for full outage, is ridiculous.

What I read after the first free data day confirmed that for me. The odd person downloading full TV series (no doubt illegally)...pfffft

There should be financial returns by now...after number five!

A percentage off the bill for everyone affected. Not gifts for a select few with time on their hands.
