As previously notified on 6th April 2017 the iiNet Group (iiNet Ltd, Westnet Pty Ltd, Internode Pty Ltd, TransACT Capital Communications Pty Ltd and Adam Internet Pty Ltd) is currently working to manage the impact to its network that has occurred as a result of Tropical Cyclone Debbie, Central Coast-Whitsundays District and parts of the Herbert and Lower Burdekin, Central Highlands and Coal Fields, and Capricornia Districts of Queensland on or about Monday 27 March 2017 through to Tuesday 28 March 2017.

The Cyclone has caused notable damage to the network, rendering some services faulty, as referred to in Telstra Wholesales Mass Service Disruption Notification which can be found https://www.telstra.com.au/consumer-advice/customer-service/mass-service-disruption/. A copy of this notice will also be published in the Brisbane Courier Mail on 08/05/2017.

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. The impact in the affected region has been greater than initially estimated and as a consequence of Tropical Cyclone Debbie the expected date for resumption of normal service operations has been extended to 4th June 2017.

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 27 March 2017 to 4 June 2017 inclusive. This date is indicative only; customers should anticipate that some further delays may occur.
