Phone Line Fault

Apparently the wet weather has got into our phone line. I lodged a line fault yesterday with Telstra and I have since received a call back this afternoon asking us to disconnect all phone lines. More tests were then carried out on the line and it was confirmed there is a fault somewhere.

Earlier today we had the phone ring briefly and it was someone trying to give us a call. Meanwhile the internet connection comes and goes. I rang Telstra this morning to have all incoming calls diverted to Trish's mobile phone. Now all phones connections except the internet have been disconnected. Hopefully this will keep the connection solid enough to be able to access the internet.

We have been told the line fault should be fixed anytime up until Tuesday at the latest. Hopefully by having all phones disconnected will mean the internet connection will remain solid enough.

Our friends driving up from Newcastle spent last night at Coffs Harbour and were to decide this morning whether they would continue on up here. They both have to be back at work on Monday so they decided not to venture onwards but to return safely home. There is no guarantee the weather will improve and all roads will be open during the weekend allowing them to return home.

Right now it is around 28 degrees, it is overcast and threatening. The forecast is for showers and possible thunderstorms. So far today we have only had a brief sprinkle of rain.

I spent this morning helping a friend Ian set up his WD TV Live Streaming Media Player. He is delighted with it and is really looking forward to using it and all its facilities.

I have just reset the router/modem as again the internet connection has again dropped out.

It has just come back on again so I will upload this post.
