Big Ooops: Y2K Test Knocks Out Fiji's Telecommunications SUVA, FIJI, 1999 MAY 24 (NB) By Adam Creed, Newsbytes. All telecommunications services within the Pacific nation of Fiji were out of service for a number hours on Monday following a Y2K systems test by the nation's carrier.The telephone service outage was at first thought to be the work of saboteurs in the aftermath of the turbulent Fiji election, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. However, the cause was later found to be a Y2K preparedness test by national telecommunications provider Telecom Fiji Ltd. The test managed to crash the whole system. Telecom Fiji's Web site, tfl.com.fj , now contains a dead link to its Year 2000 information page. (Ooops again?)
