TL;DR Why is it always the routers?

Routers been in place for decades with limited space for BGP routes.

Can't replace them because it would be a major outage, can't replace them because they're the backbone of the network.

Best solution is for every single customer to churn to different providers.

This will reduce load on the network and allow Optus to invest the required time to reengineer their network with redundancy, without inconveniencing any customers.

Once they iron out their issues, they can start recruiting customers back.

It is up to every customer who appreciates Optus to give them this opportunity.
