Just curious about what's amiss, a few things lined up this arvo:<br>
<br>
1. Banks advising that there is an outage impacting payments etc.<br>
<br>
2. Telstra MVNO Support advising that they have no internet right now.<br>
<br>
3. There is a spike of problems reported on Down Detector, now calming:<br>

afternoon BTS or otherwise?<br>
