A little off-topic but does anyone know how you can get Telstra to
remove defunct overhead copper cabling? Our area has been
switched to NBN but all cabling (power, NBN fibre and legacy
Telstra copper is strung on power poles in that order from top to
bottom. Now I really DO mean bottom - the old copper is hanging
down from the poles through bushes and along the ground at the top
of my property (it may get accidentally tangled up in my
brush-cutter one day :-).
Seriously, it is a nuisance/hazard and I don't think that I have
the strength or patience to attempt to deal with this through
'Telstra faults'!
When I had a phone line break free of its primary pole mount and drop to
the point where I could touch it from the footpath outside my house I
called 13 22 03 and had Telstra come out, they removed the line from the
premesis side all the way back to the pole adjacent to the house on the
other side of the road. Since I have FTTP there was no need to maintain it.
They came out within 24 hrs to remove it, details for that line below:
Can't remember what line I ended up using, but a few years ago we were
doing an audit of copper lines in one of our buildings to identify what
might have been missed (either migration or cancellation) for NBN
cutoffs, and while going through the MDF I noticed what appeared to be
the start of a battery acid leak within a Telstra rack in the room.
They had someone out *within an hour* (central Sydney), so yes, when
there's a potential safety issue to third parties they do respond on a
prompt basis.
