There was definitely a major outage with Optus yesterday - not just internet services, but mobile and landline. roughly 10 hour outage for effectively their entire consumer network (weirdly, I have an enterprise service which was not effected by the outage). Definitely got hit by it - our entire corporate mobile fleet was out the whole day.
Nobody has given a RFO yet - but I have my doubts it was just BGP issues. That's speculation at this point.
