Telstra plans 16-day ADSL outage By Rachel Lebihan, ZDNet Australia July 31, 2001 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/soa/Telstra-plans-16-day-ADSL-outage/0,139023165,120251735,00.htm
Telstra is planning a 16-day intermittent ADSL outage, perhaps shedding light on its move to postpone new customer applications for the short term. Telstra outage report number 20010730-0500-02 reveals that the outage commenced at 5 a.m yesterday and will end at 7 a.m, August 8. -All BigPond Direct ADSL customers are to be advised that due to a number of network upgrades customers may experience loss of service intermittently during this period. For more information please go to www.telstra.com/ServiceStatus/Planned.asp," the outage report says. The service status page points to a stream of scheduled outages reported by ZDNet prior to the telco heavyweight's move to stall new ADSL applications. Fairfax IT reported yesterday that Telstra was asking customers to delay their applications for ADSL for 30 days while the network undergoes -maintenance". Customers in Melbourne will not have to wait 30 days to have a new ADSL service installed, sparking speculation that Telstra is installing routers in all the other states but leaving Melbourne's configuration as is. Telstra has been contacted for comment.
