Telstra, Australia’s largest telco, saw a widespread mobile network outage start Tuesday night. The problem affected voice calls, text messages, mobile data and even emergency 000 systems across the country. Several sources reported the disruption. Some regional rail services halted because network infrastructure were knocked out after the outage.
In the United States, Downdetector recorded a rise in reports of T‑Mobile problems on the identical day. The twin incidents have triggered worries about mobile network reliability on both sides of the Pacific.
