It’s affecting my mobile service. Can’t make phone calls. I wouldn’t ordinarily care, but needed to phone the bank to obtain money required... can’t do that now.
So what you're saying is 000 emergency services don't have geographic redundancy for their phone lines? I assume they'd have exchange level redundancy, should be geographic as well, that's on Telstra

Time to get your 💩 together ... what happens inn one state should not affect others.. This sort of issue has happened numerous times now... I ditched my Telstra mobile for years ago.. seems like it was a good choice...
