LNP do not consider corroded infrastructure in their To the Node concept.
Telstra, of course, denies corrosion. Technicians work around the
problem and are told to keep quiet.

We have had repeated issues with our (and neighbours) telephone lines not working properly over the last several years.

Last time was several weeks ago, couldn't get a dial tone.

Due to my use of Freeswitch as a PBX, any problems don't get noticed straight away, so people trying to contact us can't.

Unfortunately a lot of people don't get FTTH. There were letters in the Herald Sun on Sunday saying silly things like NBN is obsolete already, everyone uses 4G, I don't have a phone connection, why should I pay for NBN, etc. No letters promoting the NBN.
