Phone Service is not working

I cannot make or receive calls.

The NBN Service indicator says no nbn outage detected. Clearly there is a problem.

Furthermore, there have been an unacceptable number of outages and the internet dropping out at inconvenient times over the last few days sometimes going on for hours. Right now, I can use the internet, but not the home phone.
When I call for help using a mobile phone, it says there is a long queue, then gives me an option for call back without loosing my place in the queue, then it asks me for a call back time for the next 7 days, and asks me to key in a date and time. When I do key it in such as when I called at Sunday 10:20, I keyed in Sunday 11:45 pm, it translated it as 1:45 PM Monday, that is one hell of a loosing a place in the queue. You need to make things simpler.

I try to buy something online, only it fails to complete because the internet drops out.

I call my bank and mid-call it terminates because the internet drops out.

The nbn service is not fit for purpose, and needs to start providing a service that actually works.

You do not have enough people manning your help lines the wait time is far too long, all being billed on the mobile phone.

Presumably you are on VOIP. Which connection system are you using? (FTTN, FTTC, FTTP?)

It is FTTN

IMHO the most likely cause of a FTTN failure is a break or high resistance joint in the copper that connects you to the nearest node. Mods can arrange an end to end test.
