Repaired

Our land line is finally repaired after four days. Apparently, LTA punched/ cut the some underground phone cables on Saturday while working on the new Downtown line near Botanic Gardens. The land lines in Gleneagles Hospital/ Medical Centre were all affected as well which Singtel restored their services by Saturday evening. However, Singtel did not realise that a lot more land lines were affected including the surrounding estates like ours around Botantic Gardens. The "funny" thing was Singtel mentioned that I would be billed for the repair to my land line! I blew my top and refused to pay for something which was not due to my fault. I called the LTA in-charge and told them about my land line issue. LTA said they would check on it. 
Singtel didn't ask me to pay. I presumed that LTA has worked something out with Singtel. However, I will be checking my next Singtel bill very carefully.

Out of Order

Our land line has been down since yesterday. However we didn't realise it was out of order until late on Saturday afternoon. Initially we thought it might be the hand sets that were faulty. My father brought the hand sets to the shop he bought them from in the morning. The salesperson was nice and helped him to check. There are no problem with the hand sets. So the fault probably lies in the land line itself... :( 
Singtel was contacted and an initial check from their side revealed that the land line is faulty. They are sending their technician to our place tomorrow between 2-6pm for a more detailed check.
