Optus has been hit by a nationwide outage, with its mobile phone and internet services down for millions of Australian customers and businesses. On its website early on Wednesday, Optus said its engineers were investigating a network fault impacting customers. Mobile phone users are unable to make or receive calls and mobile internet services are down. An Optus spokesman said the company was working to restore services as a priority.

"All I do know is that it is impacting on Australians, that customers do want to know what is going on. "I would urge Optus to get that information out through any channels that are possible and to do that as a priority." Melbourne train services were also interrupted early on Wednesday, reportedly due to the Optus outage. All metropolitan services were stopped from about 4.30am due to a communications fault across the train network.
