NBN.. no power no phone??

[catsnknots]

"There will also be a separate power supply box which includes battery backup that will keep selected phone services* running for up to five hours in case of power failure. *The backup battery only provides power for a phone service provided through a voice (UNI-V) port on the Network Termination Device. Phone and other services connected to the data (UNI-D) ports, and mains powered telephones, alarms and other devices such as cordless phones connected to any port will not work during a power failure."

Is this true? 

So if I am without power for one week like we were this year will I not be able to make phone calls? 

Considering that we were not able to even get out of town for four days and had a lot of people very distressed I would be very concerned that we had no power and in the future that means no phone.

thanks for the info freak.

So is it worth me ringing them constantly to complain or just wait and hope it gets changed soon?

Have you looked at the rollout map lately?

The next bit covers Marion Road to South Road and a bit on either side.

I disagree with post 41.

That is a very general statement, how about backing it up with some points Freaki makes and your proof that shows it is misinformation.

[cherry*135]

Unsupported accusations are aught but mindless desperation  -- that applies to post 41.

Freaki, after having read most of your posts regarding the internet and NBN in particular I have come to the conclusion that you are a wealth of misinformation.

You seam to have set yourself up as a guru but you either lack the technical expertise as a basis on which to speak with authority or you are just plucking so called knowledge from the air that has no substance.

you'd be wrong then.

So that should fix my problem?

thanks freaky.

So that should fix my problem?

in a big way.

It takes about 12-18 months to do an area but they will are connecting in modules within the area as they are ready.

First they survey, plan, ready the pits, lay fibre in streets, connect to houses.

thanks again freaky.

I see a dim light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

I will grit my teeth and bear it till then
