[AusNOG] Optus downtime chat + affecting SMS verification to Telstra?

[Joseph Goldman]

Was actually wondering why there wasn't a thread.

My guess would be for 2FA SMS's not coming through, that the SMS 
provider the software/site is using relies on Optus to send the message.

I would also have to imagine the outage is a bad config pushed out - 
surely a hardware failure or fibre cut wouldn't cause such a big outage. 
Bad day to have your name on the last push :/.
