Nationwide General News; Australian General News SYDNEY, March 1 AAP - Almost 70,000 Telstra customers have been left stranded in cyberspace after the telecommunications giant was hit by a suspected computer virus. And the company, Australia's largest Internet service provider, could face claims of more than $10 million under its customer service guarantee, according to The Australian newspaper. Around 68,000 Big Pond users with email accounts beginning with I, L or M have literally dropped out of the system, The Australian said. The number accounts for 10 per cent of Big Ponds overall user base, with each customer able to claim $40-a-day if there are delays in fixing the fault. The newspaper said a virus or computer glitch could have affected the three separate servers which carry each of the letters. --- Sponsor's Message -------------------------------------- Get Only the Best Lists!
