Another Telstra fail, Time for round two enjoy your data.
We sincerely apologise to our customers for the inconvenience we have caused.
We had a problem that triggered a significant number of customers to be disconnected from the network. Reconnecting them to the network caused congestion. We had a connection problem overseas impacting international roaming customers which then had a flow-on effect domestically.
As a way of saying we’re sorry we’ll be providing a free data day for all of our mobile customers on Sunday 3rd of April.
Telstra CEO Andy Penn told media this morning the outage was caused by network congestion when a large number of services disconnected at the same time and were then reconnected.
Mr Penn said a free data day would be offered on Sunday April 3 to compensate for the disruptions.
Some of our mobile customers experienced difficulty making and receiving calls, and using data last night (17 March 2016).
This issue started at around 6pm and we started seeing progressive restoration from around 7.30pm, although the issue was sporadic so different people were impacted at different times.
We sincerely apologise to our customers for the inconvenience we have caused again.
As a way of saying we’re sorry we’ll be providing a free data day for all of our mobile customers on Sunday 3 April.
Customers will automatically receive free data, from midnight to midnight in their local Australian time zone.
We hope this helps make up for some of the inconvenience they experienced.
ALDI Mobile thanks to @PeeDee
