The troubled telco Telstra is reporting what it calls "intermittant" mobile outages across Australia.  It comes just weeks after the companies 3G and 4G networks futzed out, impacting commerce and emergency calls.

"There was a vendor platform issue that impacted mobile virtual network operating services for a small number of wholesale customers," the company said in a statement, denying that the same problem repeated itself from May to June.  "The majority of those services have already been restored.  We apologise to these wholesale customers for any inconvenience."

Telstra said Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart are all being affected.  The website Aussie Outages added the cities of Perth, Surry Hills, Parramatta, Clayfield, Marsfield, and Boondall.
