Please be advised there is a major incident impacting our Civic nbn POIs in ACT. Services are experiencing no data flow.
Our suppliers network engineers are investigating with the highest priority but we suspect this is a follow on issue from 17th March 2021. The outcome from the post incident report received by our nbn aggregator Vocus, is they use Telstra Wholesale to backhaul the connection from the POI to the data centre which failed. Telstra experienced hardware failure on a transmission card which had to be replaced but it appears this issue still exists. There is no secondary backup for this service and should have an SLA of 4 hours. We have lodged this issue with Vocus and we are pushing this to be fixed much faster than the hours it took last time. We will post updates through this page until resolved and apologise for the inconvenience.
