The Great Telecommunication Outage

Australia's second-largest telecommunications provider, Optus, has been out since 4am this morning (that's 7 and a half hours now for those in other time zones). 10 million individual customers are affected, as well as 100,000 businesses and government services.

Optus has suffered a major nationwide outage. Here's what we know about what happened

Quote:

Millions of customers of Australia's second-largest telecommunications company, Optus, have been hit by an outage of mobile phone and internet services.

The outage has also impacted hundreds of thousands of businesses, and has impacted some government services, public health systems and public transport systems.

Here's what we know about the outage so far...
This includes the triple-zero service - this is the emergency services number, equivalent to America's 911 and the UK's 999 - which currently cannot receive calls from landlines.

Optus is "really, really sorry" about the outage. Nobody knows how long it will take to restore. It is, apparently, almost certainly not some kind of cyberattack.
