Some Telstra customers are again unable to make calls after a fire at a northern Sydney exchange downed services.

Telstra confirmed the incident via its social media accounts, identifying Chatswood as the exchange during responses to complaining customers.

Telstra, which this week retained its ranking as Australia's most valuable brand in a global survey, was hit by seven outages in 2016.
