I've only heard the names of some resellers.

Best to check.

Does this include Telstra resellers like Boost?
They haven't said anything to me so I presume not.

A lot of it has to do with the massive increase in signalling as each user terminal tries to re-register with the HLR/HSS (3G/4G respectively).

That's why when you bring them back on you have to do it gradually... it is a highly reliable system generally and 4G is definitely more so than 3G.

Same thing occurred there, if and RNG failed, if the switch-over to the standby failed for some reason, the resulting registration storm caused the network to fall-over for 18 hours.
