An act of vandalism has caused the latest significant Optus outage, affecting emergency service calls for more than 14,000 people, the telco has said.
Optus said the issue has been caused by vandals who damaged an aerial fibre line, affecting people in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas, south-east of Melbourne.
All 14,546 services impacted have been restored, according to the Optus website.
The embattled telco had earlier warned that emergency services were affected, telling customers they could only call triple zero if they were within range of another mobile network or had access to wi-fi.

Recently, Optus has faced its fourth significant outage in just a few months, disrupting access to emergency services once again.
