It may just be a coincidence but my work voip, which is non Optus, went down for an hour two days ago. My csm software is in the cloud and uses an sms gateway, with a different company and provider. It went down twice yesterday for a few hours. I don’t recall the last time that happened. I wonder if there was some underlying telecoms issue that undermined them all at different times.
