Sydney integrator goes wireless during Telstra outage

"We generally try to use different types of Internet when redundancy is required (for example ADSL and 3G, or ADSL and WiMax)."

Herrmann claimed this meant there was a smaller chance that an outage of this nature would impact them.

"With phones people are relying on mobiles instead of the office phone and customers with 1300 numbers have been able to use those to redirect calls to mobiles and staff working from home," he said.

Far Edge's customers have also made use of Skype and other VoIP services, but Herrmann claimed the services were only an option if the customer had "fast and reliable internet".
