Frog is determined to be the cause for Telstra's service disruption

For the Telstra customers in Queensland, Australia, they found out the real reason very quickly as to why service was disrupted for a period of time. In the land down under, the wet weather conditions of late have been causing frogs in the local area in Childers, Queensland to breed “like crazy.” And apparently, one of them somehow managed to slip itself through a cabinet, pass some air filters, and eventually into one of the main boards of a Remote Integrated Multiplexer (RIM) unit.
