Millions of Australians were left without mobile and Internet after a network failure at telecoms firm Optus.

The failure caused transport delays, cut hospital phone lines, and shut down payment systems.

Optus, the country’s second-largest provider, said more than 10 million people and thousands of businesses were affected.

Services were restored after around 12 hours of disruption. Optus said there was no evidence of a cyber attack.
