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

[John Edwards]

The 4am Wednesday morning outage start looks suspiciously like a firmware
upgrade window.

I note that Optus devices where I am are showing "SoS" which indicates the
tower is unable to reach the location register, which presumably is on a
private network and indicative of a pretty major fault rather than just IP.
