Aussie here, Victoria / nsw border. I can confirm Optus is down, many banks / markets / ATM based type of operations.
Melbourne trains are out.
Although someone in the w.a state (West Coast of oz) claims not affected by Optus.
Weird peeps online are making claims that they can still access Facebook and tiktok but not anything else. I can't confirm any of that, my family and neighbors who have Optus are down both phone and Internet including their f.b etc
Know anyone with a landline (in the US when power was out, landlines still workedl).
As a kid those were our got to flashlights until we could find the battery operated ones in the drawer.
The joys Gen Z will never know.
Do you still have the copper wire phone network in the US, that still works in a black out?
In most of Australia the landline phones are via the internet cable except for remote rural areas that still have the copper wire network.
No electric power no landline phone, mobile phone only.
Of cause the Government and phone companies don't see a problem with this. They just say in a blackout, use your mobile phone.
Why would you have a fixed internet phone you can't depend on?
Now if you're old and can't use a mobile phone or you live in an area with unreliable mobile phone reception, then you are stuffed!
Landlines in our area work until the batteries along the line fade and go flat. Then out till power is restored and batts recharge.
Thanks for the information,fren.
