The iiNet Group (iiNet Ltd, Westnet Pty Ltd, Internode Pty Ltd and Adam Internet Pty Ltd) is currently working to manage the impact to its network that has occurred as a result of severe weather on or about Friday 1 July 2022 through to Tuesday 5 July 2022 in parts of the Sydney Metropolitan, Hunter and Central Tablelands Districts of New South.

Services are impacted in the area bounded by and including, but not limited to, the area starting at Wirraba heading east to Bucketty, southeast to Kulnara, south to Mount White then southwest to Kenthurst. From Kenthurst the area turns west to Londonderry, northwest to Mount Tomah then northeast back to Wirraba. All suburbs and towns serviced by Telstra within these boundaries are encompassed.

Severe weather events have caused notable damage to the network, rendering some services faulty, as referred to in Telstra Wholesales Mass Service Disruption Notification which can be found at https://www.telstra.com.au/consumer-advice/customer-service/mass-service-disruption/. A copy of that notice will also be published in the Sydney Daily Telegraph on 08/07/2022.

The iiNet Group is working closely with suppliers and wholesalers to assess and repair the damage to affected services in a timely manner. Customers in these regions may experience service disruptions and delays to normal connection times and fault restoration.

As these circumstances are outside the iiNet Group’s control, iiNet is claiming an exemption under Section 21 of the Telecommunications (Customer Service Guarantee) Standard 2011 from the normal performance standards. The exemption shall apply from 4 July 2022 to 7 August 2022 inclusive. This date is indicative only; customers should anticipate that some further delays may occur.
