Re: [AusNOG] Telstra mobile outage - QLD and VIC

[Serge Burjak]

Vodafone seems down on at least 8 numbers up and down the east coast. All
Voda’s main numbers are resulting in a call failed.

Maybe the Christmas ‘upgrade’ didn’t go to plan.

On 7 Dec 2018, at 17:50, Andrew White  wrote:

Hi all,

Has anyone seen widespread Telstra mobile issues, specifically across VIC
and QLD?

We’re getting a number of reports of issues to Telstra numbers between
5:45pm-6:30pm, although it appears no longer to be occurring. At the time,
we couldn’t reach them via any of our SIP or SS7 peering.

Also seen a large spike of reports on “downdetector.com”:

Re: [AusNOG] SORBS DUHL blacklist

[Serge Burjak]

Google hosts a couple million domains, large chunk of top 1000 companies
globally, a lot of them your suppliers in one form or another, I think it's
in everyones interests to keep commerce moving.

It is also in everyones interests to identify and punish the ones that
don't play the game, but a broad brush approach is not going to do it.

Re: [AusNOG] HFC

[Serge Burjak]

Hi,

Researching that for myself now, as I am being converted shortly.

Surprisingly better providers like Internode can't provide a fixed IP
yet Telstra and a handful of others can.

Using your own router might come at the expense of your voice service,
at least in my case from what I can see.

Re: [AusNOG] Recommendations for reliable LTE devices

[Serge Burjak]

The telstra Nighthawk is very unreliable. It goes to sleep and needs
to kicked into life once in a while on KAN. Have a look in the Netgear
forums or Whingepool, I mean Whirlpool forum.
