‘It will not happen again’: Optus offers further explanation for nationwide outage

Optus has issued a new statement today, offering a further explanation as to last week’s nationwide outage that left 10 million customers without the ability to make phone calls or access the internet.

After citing a “network event” last week – which has also seen the government announce it will launch an investigation into the matter – the telco said it now understands what happened last Wednesday morning.
