Telstra is rocked by massive outage as customers are left in the dark
Thousands of Telstra customers in southern New South Wales were left without internet and phone coverage following a major outage. More than 100,000 services across mobile, NBN, ADSL and PTSN were disrupted about 1.45pm following a power issue at an exchange site in north Nowra. Crews were deployed to resolve the issue which affected 99 other base stations across the region, the ABC reported. Power has since been restored at the site and all services have since come back online, a Telstra spokesperson told the Daily Mail. 'Our team fixed an onsite power issue impacting mobile, NBN, ADSL and PSTN services on the NSW South Coast this afternoon,' they said. 'Services have been coming back online since 1:45pm and are now fully restored. 'Thanks for your patience while we got this sorted.' It is believed emergency calls were not affected by the outage, though a number of local businesses were reportedly affected by disrupted internet access. Last week, a separate Telstra outage affected thousands of customers across the state following a severe weather event.
