Telstra probably hoped the hashtag #TelstraOutage would be pussy licking movies and videosleft behind in 2016. Sorry honey, no such luck.
On Thursday afternoon, Australia's largest phone network went down for some 3G and 4G users following a fire at a Chatswood exchange, which impacted mobile and fixed services.
While the outage was genuinely disruptive, many could not resist making the joke of the day. And what a joke it was.

And what of the joke?
A Washington Postreport just that morning had detailed how U.S. President Donald Trump absolutely rinsed Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in one of their first official phone calls, including the delectable morsel that Trump "abruptly" cut the chat short after only 25 minutes.

Good work, everybody. Obviously this schmozzle hasn't affected Twitter's spirits. If anything, it's enlivened them.
Telstra later apologised and said it was investigating the cause of the fire. No one was hurt.
"A related issue which resulted in SMS messages being incorrectly delivered has been resolved," a spokesperson told Mashable. "All services, including SMS, have been restored and will return progressively."
