<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone seen widespread Telstra mobile issues,
specifically across VIC and QLD?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’re getting a number of reports of issues to
Telstra numbers between 5:45pm-6:30pm, although it
appears no longer to be occurring. At the time, we
couldn’t reach them via any of our SIP or SS7
peering.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Also seen a large spike of reports on “<a
