RESIDENTS and businesses across the Glass House Mountains area are being advised to expect two weeks of mobile service disruptions later this month, as Telstra undertakes major upgrades to local base stations to improve 4G and 5G coverage.
Federal Member for Fisher, Andrew Wallace MP, confirmed the works follow years of community advocacy aimed at securing more reliable mobile connectivity for the region.
The planned works will affect two key Glass House Mountains sites – GHM West (Woodrows Rd site): intermittent disruptions on November 18, and again from November 20-25.
GHM (Jefferys Rd site), with intermittent disruptions on November 20, full outages on November 21 , 24–28 and intermittent disruptions again from November 29 – December 2. Telstra has advised that landline, NBN and satellite services will remain unaffected. www.telstra.com.au/outages
Triple Zero calls made from a Telstra mobile will automatically connect via another network if required. Customers are encouraged to activate Wi-Fi Calling to maintain service during outages and to connect EFTPOS terminals to Wi-Fi or NBN to avoid payment delays.
