Telstra will be upgrading its mobile base station that services Carwarp to bring new 5G coverage to the area.
Telstra mobile services in the area will be temporarily affected while the upgrade works are underway.
Telstra Regional General Manager for Northern and Western Victoria, Steve Tinker said, “ We know how important mobile connectivity is for Australians, whether you’re in the city or the country.”
“Some disruption is required while the upgrade is underway, but we’ll only be switching off the site when we need to and will have it back online and working better than ever as quickly as possible.”
Telstra mobile customers will receive texts advising of the upcoming work.
Landline services, NBN internet services, and mobile coverage from other providers will not be impacted.
The site will need to be switched off during the following periods:
• Wednesday 4 December to Friday 6 December. There will be no Telstra mobile coverage between these dates with restoration at the end of the day Friday.
• Saturday 7 December there will be disruptions during the day as we complete the call testing and integration of the network.
