Thanks Rachel and Michael,
I did start with dial before you dig,
but ended up being referred to the
Telstra Fault line (132203.) by bits of
Telstra. There doesn't seem to be a way
to report faults via the Internet/Web.
In frustration, I escalated the
issue to a contact in Telstra and the
problem (caused by a tree route) has now
been fixed before it produced faults.
Perhaps this is a project for the cyber
security or even the national security
people.
