Re: Ogden Landline Phone Service Out Again.
OK so what is going on with the Ogden service outage then? It has been down since June 22nd Has anybody looked at it yet? I can see the generator powering telus internet service at the terminal box down the street from me. When will they connect landline power? phoney -baloney358Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ogden Phone Outage
I never tried to imply I could do it faster. Speed of repair was not my complaint. My beef is 911 services being last up and running. As you said ,it's the same wire pair. Yet TV and internet always seem to be up and running first. Somehow 911 service always finishes last. I also noted that the penalties for theft and damage to essential infrastructure should be way more severe. As for my oratory skills ,I will take that as a compliment.đź‘Ś Nuff fer now3.3KViews0likes0Comments- 3.4KViews0likes0Comments
Re: Ogden Phone Outage
You make a valid point about sharing the same copper lines for all services for those of us without fibre lines. I'm not even sure if that's available in Ogden/Lynwood area. However I wonder if when the red/green wires are reconnected, all services magically start working at the same time. Or if some re-booting /setup of equipment is required. Given the complexity of todays equipment I would think this would be a requirement after shutting down power/equipment for extended servicing and safety requirements. After all its not like times gone by when all you had was a simple phone connected to your copper line. No sharing of services back then. Until we get fibre its like putting all your eggs in one basket. The cost for older areas being a factor. Less work splicing several fibre lines than tens or hundreds of small wires. Not too much scrap value in fibre. Yes we need to increase the penalty for thieves who disrupt essential services. Fingers tired now ,must rest.3.4KViews0likes1CommentRe: Ogden Phone Outage
I am pretty sure the last thing repaired during the previous two outages was the copper line service.If Telus really cared it would always be the first thing mentioned.Somehow they always forget to.It's only the top dollar services that get the attention first. The CRTC may mandate it, but Telus doesn't seem to value 911 services for Ogden seniors like they do TV and Internet billing fees.3.5KViews0likes9CommentsOgden Phone Outage
Once again my copper line is down. Checked your service outage site. No mention of phone service ,just Internet and TV service. Telus doesn't give a damm about copper line phone service. I'm sure the phone service will be the last issue addressed. Just like the last two times it went down. Yes I know it was copper thieves before ,just like this time again. Health and safety should be first priority ,not last. Fire ,ambulance ,police service etc.(911) Fix the copper first ! Lots of old folks in Ogden, Lynnwood area. Will the future service ever improve? It sure doesn't feel friendly to me. PS Customer for 33 years. I guess I'm the lazy one for staying on this long.3.6KViews0likes11Comments
