Re: [CCHS-Committee] ADSL Line dead

[wes Black]

Hey, all,

got call this morning from the techie fixing the Hackerspace ADSL / phone line

(at totally heathen time of 10:30am on a Sunday, I must add...)

Confirmed the line fault was at the exchange in which the patch cable / jumper had failed due to their policy of re-using such items until they die.

'New' (hopefully brand new out of box never been 'pre-loved' and good quality will last for years type of 'new') jumper lead has been installed.

Hopefully the line is now active again, and ADSL2+ is back on.

Could someone plz check this is so?

Many thanks,

Wes.

Yeah, teaching has 'affected' me somewhat.

Update on ADSL:

- got call back from TPG
- they're getting a line engineer onto the job
- engineer is "Angelo"
- commitment date between now and 18th July
- expressed my horror at such delay
- asked who to make formal complaint in this regard
- TPG operator promised to expedite fix
- TPG confirms it's some line prob at Telstra's end
- they'll call back if/when

Imagine ... I spent a couple of hours with Wes this afternoon ... and he
didn't commit "death by dad joke" :)

I swear, he bottles them up specifically for mailing list posts. ;)

On a Sunday? Amazing!

I can connect to it, but since I don't have a login on the server at the space, I can't actually use it to connect to the router to see any diagnostics. But that fact that we get a connection pretty much shows it's working. :D

Andy will be able to test for sure.

Yes, I can confirm that I was able to remotely SSH into the MQTT server located at the CCHS.
