Ah - I think you will be out of luck, there.
The whole landline telephone network is being progressively shut down,
in Australia, and, replaced with the forced NBN thing, which means,
amongst other things, that the emergency services will be
incommunicado, in an electricity failure. We are told that we will
have to keep our cellphones fully charged, all of the time, to provide
for the NBN and therefore, communications with the emergency services,
going down. But, for people like us, who have intermittent cellphone
access, "we just gotta die" After all, Western Australia IS a remote
community... I don't know what your cellphone access in Albury, is
like, but, if it is as bad as ours, you will need a very reliable
prayer book.
No, Bret, my mobile 'phone access is reasonably reliable, even here at
Broadford, Vic, but, because of my previous poor landline 'phone service
at my previous residence (Killara on the outskirts of Wodonga), I've
been using a 3G USB Dongle for my Internet access for many years.
And my ISP is not one of the big, powerful, NBN providers, so I may not
be getting an improved service from the NBN!
