[AusNOG] Granny just got shafted

[Brad Peczka]

115.42.0.0/18 appears to have been used by LifestyleSA under a deal with Select Communications, but now looks like it recently got revoked by APNIC... maybe related?

Former WHOIS results included below for posterity; here's hoping that an alternate solution is found for the residents of the villages.

Cheers,
-Brad.

Hi All,

The elderly, the infirm and the dying at Lifestyle SA's Forest Place
retirement village have just been advised (at 4pm on a Friday) that
their internet access will be revoked (and in the absence of any
additional information, one assumes 'immediately').

The service has been in place for a year and you can only imagine the
extent to which some residents are dependent on it.

Without prejudice to any party mentioned, I'm asking if anyone knows
what's going on here and what the access situation is likely to be
ongoing. I don't know if, or to what extent, this affects the other 10
or so villages.

Regards,
Alastair Waddell
