If their OOB phone lines or mobile broadband services were on-net they might as well not have had any to begin with. At a guess they probably were otherwise they wouldn't have had to send someone to physically stand in front of a device.
Yeah, I'd be willing to bet that it's a change which wasn't thoroughly
tested before being rolled out, and which had an inadequate backout
plan.
Also, "Our on-site technician is actively prioritising establishing a console connection.".
I mean come on, it's nearly 2024 and a [major] telco does not have remote console access? Whilst I'm
looking forward to enthusiastically reading the PM, I'll have to book a physio appointment in advance due to
neck strain from all the head shaking it'll likely induce.

Interestingly, my Optus mobile actually had a valid connection for a
short time - wasn't able to actually DO anything, but was connected to
the OPtus network - but it's now gone to "SOS" mode.
