    @Telstra **** happens, especially outages. Be transparent and let us know what happened & what remediation steps you've taken to prevent it, and thats all you need to do. People just want an excuse to get angry at someone.

    @RossCadell SHY: "if you had paid $30,000 for a new server, would the outage have happened." "Telstra dude: it... Would not have occurred." bang. Home run

    @BilsonhBilson @AnthonyPHoran Government haven't got a good track record of running anything which is why we have record cost of living, energy marked it a mess, housing a mess, immigration a mess as we don't have the infrastructure to support it. Giving the CBA and Telstra to the government also, no thanks

    @Telstra Does this mean you ain’t gonna jack up your prices this year? Or are you going to use this outage as an excuse to charge more??

    So where is RCS messaging if emergency technology is important? @Telstra Your CEO just said emerging technology was important at Senate Estimates. It would have allowed more people to message during an outage! @sarahinthesen8 @RossCadell

    Telstra are the Great and Powerful Oz in the Wizard of Oz, who when you pull away the curtain, is a conman Telstra just admitted to the Senate Inquiry to using the crowdsourced outage report website DownDetector when their system fails Does that make sense? So Telstra are a $54 BILLION company who rely on crowdfunding to protect Australia’s access to emergency services So people’s lives are at risk and they are urgently calling 000 while Telstra executives are checking DownDetector. The CEO is paid $7 million+ a year and this is the result. Telstra HQ:

    @telstra. Vicki whatshername should donate a year or two of her salary to compensate people affected by Telstra’s complete self-serving ****-up last week.

  • MisterSpock8888
    Cool McCool (@MisterSpock8888) reported

    @Telstra 3/6 3. Doesn't make sense. "We" & "I". Is she apologising for her team? Shud read "On behalf of TLS, I apologise for the disruption our network failure caused last week.” Paragraph 2 4. "Issue...caused signif disruption...people rely on us". thanks for telling us what we know.

    Oh dear. @Telstra are a little slow. “Last week we let you down, and I am sorry for that.”

    if telstra suddenly became more valuable after it was sold off to be run by someone other than the government, and that keeps happening, then doesn't that mean that the government is very bad at running things

    @marquet_yvette Same here but things have been difficult, not running as per usual. I’ve had a few issues, there has been activity under my Health app which I never use. Got notifications and then couldn’t read the messages.I must say, Google were amazingly helpful. Telstra are working on it.

    @maximumwelfare You can just write or do whatever you want it’s not like anyone gives a **** these days. Nobody cares about their job, whether that be at Telstra or someone that’s supposed to regulate them.

  • RaymondKeown3
    Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported

    @Kate3015 Typical Telstra, Telstra must explain what exactly caused the outage, what the fix & what will they do to ensure it never happens again, but they won't. Typical mindset from Telstra, they know already, but will stay stum

  • havyatt
    David Havyatt (@havyatt) reported

    @ACCAN_AU @smh @swan_legend How is Telstra expected to work out the AMOUNT of compensation otherwise? The word ‘compensation’ does not mean ‘fine’ and as a Telstra customer I don’t want them being over generous….because I will be paying for it.

    @nemagovau Is there a opt out option. What a waste of taxpayer money again. Whos pocet is being lined this time. Telstra had nationall 000 outage just last week. by the time these things come out its over anyway.

    coolbanana321 (@coolbanana321) reported

    @Telstra CEO of a entire company thinks she can just get away with a 'sorry, my bad'. Wheres the resignation, wheres the the accountability. A normal employee would've been fired over something like this.

  • hellenomania
    Giordano Bruno (@hellenomania) reported

    @Telstra You don't even explain what you did? That is NOT taking responsibility, just saying SORRY, OOPS, is NOT responsibility. What was the CAUSE of the bad firmware time stamp? Ai ? Outsourcing to India ? Outsourcing to India where they used Ai?
