I saw a whole bunch of my devices drop offline from about 5:45 onwards.
Calls were working (somewhat) at 6:10 buy all our telstra mobiles showing 
SOS only since then.
Jumped in the car, turned on starlink and was able to get wifi calling.
Could call a guy on his optus number but not telstra (same phone).
Still can't send SMS to most numbers.

(Southern NSW/Northern Vic, my directly affected services mostly within 
100km of here)
