NBN may leave lives at risk in bushfires and floods, experts warn
NBN may leave lives at risk in bushfires and floods, experts warn | Technology | The Guardian
NBN / internet has become an essential service in the digital age, but government and NBN Co. continue to treat it as an optional luxury to watch Netflix on.
I live in a capital city and my FTTN connection continues to drop out constantly and that's just when I'm watching a low res SBS on demand program! ...in an emergency when the network is flooded with activity I doubt it would work at all.
Same here.
When the nodes lose power the system, including landlines, will stop working.
Should have gone fibre without nodes.
My phone line has been out of action for nearly 2 weeks and ironically i can see across the rd to houses that have the NBN, still approx. 12months away according to the NBN map.
For FTTN, FTTC, FTTP and FTTH:
When the house loses power the system, including landlines, will stop working.
When the exchange loses power the system, including landlines, will stop working.
You need power no matter what technology is being used.
However, for the old copper PSTN network, the phones still worked even though there was no power at the home/premesis.
Worth a bit of thought, hey.
