[AusNOG] Major Telstra Outage - Darwin, affecting voice and data services

[Darren Moss]

Hi Scott,
 
Exchange hardware failure.
They were talking about flying in equipment.
 
All our services went down 1:40am AEST.
Service restored at 11:37am AEST.
 
Took down everything, including NT Govt.
I am waiting for a detailed report on what happened.
 
We've seen similar outages before, and they were previously related to
power at the exchange.
 
Cheers.



Regards,

I've read the article on the ABC website (
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/04/07/2536724.htm)
 
Does anybody know more about what happened?
 
Starting at 1am sounds like a maintenance gone bad.....
 
Scott

	Hi Noggers,
	 
	There is currently a major outage in Darwin, affecting voice and
data services pretty much everywhere.
	 
	ISDN down, BDSL down, Frame services down, ADSL down.
	 
	Telstra does not have an ETA at this stage, however the last
update was they are locating replacement hardware.
	 
	Cheers.
