Service providers including iiNet and Internode who use Telstra’s fibre for backhaul have been affected
A Telstra fibre that services the Dubbo exchange has been cut over the weekend, causing network disruptions to service providers who use on Telstra Wholesale as their backhaul service provider in Dubbo.
According to iiNet’s service status page, the break was first reported on Saturday evening and as of Sunday night, has yet to be resolved. For iiNet and Internode customers, the service disruption affects both customers with ADSL or NBN services.
The latest estimated time to restoration on the fibre repair provided by Telstra Wholesale is reportedly Tuesday morning.
