nation's web access cut after telstra outage

september 3, 2009 - 10:02am
telstra's national internet network went down for an hour today, the company says.

The outage is understood to have affected all telstra home and businesses broadband and mobile internet customers nationwide.

All services were restored by about 8.50am, a telstra spokesman said.

The company formed a major incident response team to investigate the outage. It's not yet known what caused it.

Internet forums and micro-blogging site twitter lit up with posts on the problem.

"massive failure on telstra's part this morning, their entire network, and hence ours, chewed up and spat out by the network god," one user wrote.
