  What an absolute joke from Telstra today. Changed companies to them from Optus over their outage a few years ago and it still happens. Had no connection all morning.

  @AlanBixter Particularly after @Optus emergency access fuckups, there's no excuse for not having robust redundancies & fail safes @Telstra are likely more focussed on cost-cutting & leveraging unwanted, untested AI to boost management bonuses CEOs should face jail time for such negligence

  Thank you Telstra for waiting 2 days after I transferred to Optus before having a nation wide ****-up.

  @YoiksAndAway @Optus @Telstra Absolutely. Management that place personal greed above service should not be in service industries, and those who endanger lives for personal gain should not be at liberty.

  @OneNewsAu This is not new news, they have been trialing sms over starlink using Optus and Telstra OWNED spectrum for several years and its at least live fir SMS on Telstra. As soon as Starship is cleared for normal operations they can launch the larger v3 satellites which will support this function fully. The spectrum spacex purchased is not compatible with current phones regardless, and would require manufacturers to adopt that band for use so its not close to being usable nor launched.

  @oscarcsims @haydenmalc maybe it'll happen soon since outsourcing RAN management to cheaper vendors is all the rage in the telecom space right now (Spark just outsourced to Nokia, who was the vendor who was partially responsible for the last Optus 000 outage)

  @heidimur This isn’t just about Telstra. We saw similar issues with Optus. If our emergency communications and critical infrastructure are meant to be resilient, why do single network outages continue to have such widespread impacts? It’s time to review whether our redundancy is truly independent, or whether we’re relying on backups that share the same points of failure.

  @pceebee23 @LayaboutSi @Telstra They very much are. All vline trains are down. Metro uses Optus so they are fine.

  @JacintaAllanMP Yeah @telsta When will we see Vicki Brady resign like the Optus CEO did, she' won't because she's a woke hard left extremist like @JacintaAllanMP . This letter is just bluster, Allan won't do **** against her lefty mates..
