Phone network outage

Don't know how many of you Aussies out there know of it, but it's been an interesting day here on the east side of melbourne.

The Telstra phone exchange dieed in one of the towns here this morning, causing a major percentage of the towns to be without landline phone coverage. For a few hours we were also without internet - which means no WAN links, no cross domain data transfer, no VPN.
Each of our sites were stranded.

All in all, it's been a quiet day on the regional support front!
