Don't know where you get your info from, but the more affluent places suffer just as many black outs as every one else does.
Dunno about it being a yarn about grubby powerlines and insulators either......... think about it, if you live on the coast, you WILL get a salt build up that Will cause shorts and shut downs.
Also, another point to remember. when you are ringing up about a blackout, so have hundreds of other people..... so when they say they are working on the problem, they ARE working on the problem. Maybe you all should winge about the roads to whoever controls them, as well as the pubs, and the police for chasing people into power poles. alot of the time the lights gop out, its because some fool has just crashed into a pole. another point I might mention is when the phones are diverted to whoever is on call, it will be the partner of the employee that answers the phone. they do this to support there partner and it is done at no cost to the consumer......... so before you go getting abusive (as 85% of you do) remember the person on the phone could have nothing to do with anything other than being the partner of the employee.
If you people got the service and reliability you demand all the time............ you couldn't afford it.
when you get a blackout you don't use power......thus NO charge.
stop winging about what you think your paying for..........your not being charged for anything other than what you use.
Do any of you have a clue how old the average transmisison system (poles, wire, transformers, insulaters) is in western australia?.... I can tell you, it makes the GA fleet look positively brand new.
