✅ Home renovations causing damage to existing telecommunications cables
✅ Excavation or digging without first locating underground lead-in cables
✅ Rodents and pests, including mice, rats, possums and pets chewing through cables
✅ Storm damage, fallen trees, strong winds and other weather-related incidents
✅ Poor-quality or non-compliant repairs carried out by unqualified contractors
✅ Ageing, deteriorated or damaged lead-in cables affecting your NBN connection

Telecommunications Line Fault Reports

Has your internet provider advised that the fault is on your property, but you’re not convinced? Phoneworks can independently test your telecommunications cabling and determine exactly where the fault is located.

Our licensed telecommunications technicians use specialised testing equipment to diagnose faults affecting NBN and telephone services. If required, we can provide a detailed Telecommunications Line Fault Report that you can present to your internet or telecommunications provider.

Our report may include:

🔹 Confirmation of whether the fault is within your property or the carrier’s network
🔹 Details of the testing performed and our findings
🔹 The technician’s Telstra Accreditation number (where applicable)
🔹 The technician’s ACMA licence details
🔹 Supporting information that may assist with a Customer Service Guarantee (CSG) or other fault investigation

If required, this report can also support discussions with the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) if your fault remains unresolved.
