The tweet reads:
The last large outage experienced by everyone’s favourite underdog telco was in October. That one was affecting customers in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania.
Aussie Broadband fixed the outage pretty quickly, with managing director Phil Britt providing a little more colour to the outage.
“A config change was made which was pushed out through automation to the DHCP servers in those states,” he explained. “The change has been rolled back but getting the sessions back online is taking time for VIC and we are now manually bringing areas up one at a time.”
