There is something very wrong in Australia that nobody seems to have any responsibility for anything. This time our telecommunication corporation government run Telstra. The least you can say about the hanging wires on the level between ground and your head, is that it is unsightly, but it also is not professional, not safe and wrong. Loops of wire hanging by road site and waiting for cyclists, motorcyclists, children or pedestriand to be caught in it. They may and possibly carry 50V current.
When I called the company allerting them about this problem, they assured me that they will fix it as soon as they can. Surely they do nothing, and they have no intention to do. Their technicians leave more such hanging wires and care less about consequences. The relevant ministers and ombudsman are equally not interested. They say by phone anything to please you but the result is as seen on photos (link in the beginning).
Ok, we may try to justify the company busy earning money and not making right order, but the government which suppose to control order, to lie and to ignore complaints and all the procedures?
The loops of wires are on one hand dangerous and unsightly but on the other hand when left hanging on the poll, than more wire must be purchased for another job. Who pays for that? Phone and internet users. THis is waste and fraud in a sense.
I wonder if Australia is the only country in the world to allow those wires hanging and government determined not to make order?
