[AusNOG] Telstra mobile down "nationwide"

[Damian Guppy]

Telstra reports the network did 1.8 PB of traffic on Sunday. Impressive.
When vodafone did their free weekend for a similar stuff up I believe they
reported only getting a peak of 40gbps, which would be almost an order of
magnitude less than Telstra.
