  • Telstra's mobile network experienced a major nationwide outage, potentially affecting millions of customers and causing disruptions to public transport, payment systems, and traffic lights.
  • The outage began early Wednesday morning, impacting not only Telstra users but also customers of other providers that use its network, such as Boost and Aldi, with some emergency Triple Zero calls also affected in certain areas.
  • In response, Telstra is investigating the issue, while emergency services advise using alternative devices for calls, and public transport services in NSW and Victoria have been suspended or delayed, with no estimated fix time provided.
