Thank goodness for wireless (ironically, Telstra) - and as always, when looking for an update to what's going on around the place, GU comes through again.
Quote from RakeR;397974: Some smart contractor cut a cable taking out palmerston, pinelands, howard springs which affected approx 2300 ADSL services.name and shame :P
just out of interest is there any fallback method for when a line goes down? is it possible?
