Telsta 24x7 not working for 3 days

[bigfish1]

Internet was supposed to be back on at 3pm on the 23rd Jan after a days interuption. Now i find it maybe back on 3 days later by 25th at 4pm maybe. No warnings, no sms nothing about the extended delay anywhere. Carine western australia.
Do i get 3 days credit? I bet i dont.

There's a cable outage in the area awaiting NBN to repair

When it is resolved you can contact billing for credits

3 days outage when they said only half a day? Come on and they still dont know when it will be cak on. Cant run a business like this. Do i now have to get a back ISP to covet Telstra's limits.?

If it is NBN, then Telstra is as much victim as you are and no other provider will work either - it's NBN that is having outage, not ISPs. And, sometimes these cable repairs are not as simple or easy as everyone here thinks.

Going on 5 days now. I am on cable not nbn and still no clue. What **bleep**up to have this happen over the australia day lo g weeke d

You might be "on cable not nbn" as you say, but the area is most probably under NBN Co control already as @Yastiandrie said, so NBN Co needs to do the cable fix.

I believe that Telstra, NBN and all other telcos do non-emergency repairs only on business days... Those people are same as you - they want weekends and holidays too...

Pretty much the entire HFC network has been asset transferred to NBN. That means they are now responsible for the maintenance and repair of the network, including customers still using Testra HFC.

When a Fault occurs, NBN is engaged to repair it. Whether or not they give restoration dates or a description of the fault cause is entirely up to them. If they don't, or they have given a date and it has been surpassed, the estimated restoration time has to either be marked as TBC, or extended.

Hi bigfish1. I am in the same boat and agree with you. Telstra’s communication to it’s customers leaves a lot to be desired. I did ask them on Friday if they were having technicians work over the long weekend to which they replied they were. I was also provided with two assurances at the end of two of the days that the issue would be definitely be repaired that day/the next day. These sort of outages have been common in other suburbs over the last year or so too. I would think that you would know if a job is going to take longer than a day to fix, especially when you are heading into day seven.
