Telstra Outage Shuts Down South Australia | Adelaide News

South Australia plunged into chaos as Telstra’s massive outage left thousands stranded—calls dead, internet gone, emergency services strained, and even The Ghan train halted. While triple-zero calls mostly held, reports of failed welfare checks fueled concern. Network nodes likely at fault, the outage exposed how deeply we rely on connectivity: EFTPOS systems crashed, traffic lights defaulted, and businesses lost revenue. Rail services shut down for safety, with no clear recovery timeline. By Wednesday, 90% of mobile services were restored, but Telstra’s apology came amid growing pressure for telcos to be more transparent after repeated outages.
