Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
Well the technician came out this afternoon and discovered we haven't been properly connected to the NBN, rather a residual ADSL connection (we've been paying for the NBN for years). He apparently rectified this but we are still experiencing dropouts as before. He suggested that we may need to get a new router from Exetel. Can this be addressed ASAP please.

We have updated our wholesale supplier regarding the current status of your service and have requested them to conduct further investigations regarding this issue and also to confirm if the issue was isolated to be possibly related to your router.
We will follow this up under the same case reference and keep you updated as soon as we receive more information from the supplier regarding this issue.
Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
We received an SMS which stated that a bridged tap/extension lead in the internal wiring is a possible cause of our droputs. The only thing we could think of was our Ethernet over power which we have removed. The dropouts continue. We tried to respond to the SMS but this seems to be a do not reply number. Hence I am responding here.

Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
Thanks for the response. My wife received a call yesterday but it was not particularly helpful. She got the impression that you were not going to provide further assistance and we would have to determine what the issue is. We don't know what to do now.
Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
Hi
According to the supplier and the line test ran shows that there is a Bridgetap in the line. Bridged tap/extension lead is considered additional internal wiring from the main cable to another device within the premise. This cable belongs to the internal wiring. Since the information provided over the phone is not too clear, we will arrange another call back to explain this further. Therefore, kindly wait for an update
Thanks.
Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
We have not played with the wiring. Exetel and the wholesaler were responsible for connecting us to the NBN. This apparently was not done properly.
Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
Thank you for taking our call.
As discussed, please check the internal wiring at your premises and respond to the email we have sent to you, with the outcome of testing, once the bridge tap / extension has been eliminated in order to assist you further with regard to this issue if required.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
Sorry but neither my wife or I have the expertise to "check the wiring"

Re: Regular dropouts in Canberra
We had a technician out who cleaned up the wiring in our house. Unfortunately the dropouts continue. Do we look at replacing our modem?
