Tasmania has lost internet and mobile phone coverage after two undersea fibre cables were accidentally cut.Tasmania is suffering from a statewide network outage.“We believe it is the result of two separate cable cuts on the main routes into Tasmania,” the spokesman said. “One cable has been cut during civil works and the other cable is fairly remote and techs have just arrived on site to assess the impact.
“There is an impact to fixed and mobile data, some voice calls will be getting through and there is no impact to triple zero services. We are urgently working to resolve the issue and assessing restoration times.”
