Telstra will begin work on August 10 to upgrade the mobile base station that services Yarraman.
The upgrade, which should take 10 days to complete, aims to improve the site’s capacity, meaning faster downloads and less congestion.
A Telstra spokesperson said that during the work, the site would need to be switched off for up to 8 hours daily to safely complete works.
“While we do our best to deliver planned works as scheduled, there may be occasions where timings or impacts change due to factors outside our control,” a Telstra spokesperson said.
“Keep up to do date on this outage via telstra.com.au/outages.
Telstra mobile customers will receive an SMS advising of the upcoming work.
The works will not affect NBN, satellite internet services, PSTN landline services or mobile coverage from other providers.
Any calls to Triple Zero from a Telstra mobile when the site is off air will automatically connect to another mobile network, if available, for connection to emergency services.
