-
Sociaall Inc. (@dez_blanchfield) reported@BudgetDude if you know the org chart of Telstra you'd find that would be a terrible approch but I get what you mean. I think the approach required if to rewind the history of decision making re. "why wasn't that NPT server upgraded" (or all of them) and that ecosystem of humans get fired.

Andy J (@AndyJay16634390) reportedFkn hell, the Telstra witch-hunt on ABC is stupid. All bread and circuses for the peasants to feel vindicated. What a waste of taxpayers dollers.
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reportedVICKI BRADY MUST GO Telstra concedes 15-year-old, $30,000 device responsible for outage In a submission lodged hours before today’s Senate hearing, Telstra says a software update was never applied to the device that triggered the outage.

AliciaGJ 🖤🤍 (@aliciagjones) reported@telstra how do I get business support without calling. I can’t sit on the phone waiting for you to get to my call.

TheBlackRaven (@DanishDayle) reported@GraemeEtt If it's being sent via Telstra or Optus god help us.
-
John Young (@JohnYoung146083) reported@australian Are @Telstra suggesting that all 3 network time servers were/are hosted in the same physical chassis? Seems fundamentally flawed? Also, do they not continually scan for vulnerabilities and end of service? @sarahinthesen8 something sounds fishy.

stuart ingram (@jump_smash) reported@Ausbobsmit Idiot.... 1. Look at Howard's 1997 Defence Efficiency Review! 2. 1997, 1999 & 2006 Howard share sell off of Telstra!
-
Ghost Patrol (@iamghostpatrol) reportedTelstra down again?
-
John Woodcroft (@jonwoodcroft) reported@sarahinthesen8 RE TELSTRA INQUIRY Just to reiterate: The widespread nature of the outage across all of Eastern Australia due to a single equipment failure is cause for concern. It suggests a reconfiguration of infrastructure is required so outages are regionally confined.

tahlia 🐝 🇪🇸 (@talistri) reported@piacetri i never ever call marvel stadium marvel it’s always telstra dome or etihad

ThePokeGeek2004🇦🇺 (Politics Are Stupid) (@MaxFerro10) reported@LuminanceXS @clanceeinfinity This is a better move sadly cause of all bullshit you'll have to do get NFC payments and banking working you'll need to do Play Intergity is such a stupid idea because of corporation's don't want to spend money on newer servers with better security telstra I'm looking at you

I fix ****. its what i do ! (@HoolyMcg) reported@BrowntownBrew @Batman2242 We gave up on Telstra years ago Were one of the first in our area to take up starlink. It’s now quite slow because everyone else has done the same
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 And NZ incumbent Telco was very happy to work with the government to rollout their network so they structurally separated. Our Telstra was just interested in destroying any and all competition and wouldn't work with the gov

Aussie Mick 777 (@AusMickDundee) reportedTelstra also Charge the most for just a average amount of data...Than Any of the Telco Companies... Telstra is the Most Expensive. And at Slow download Speeds.. Turn this into a I hate Telstra thread I don't care..you can voice your dissgruntlements here..
-
Milan (@EthNick_) reported@TelstraEnt Your phone support is utterly atrocious. @Telstra Will you improve on them & provide assistance???
-
twensor (@twensor) reported@FetchStep Haven't watched myself yet but have #Telstra actually conceded the Time Sync function -- upon which the entire national mobile network critically depends -- relies on a SINGLE decades old piece of electronics? Really? Hard to believe such incompetence (bad judgment) is possible.

-
Tom English (@thmsenglsh) reported@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
-
Napoleon Bonaparte (@Napoleon__Bon) reportedBREAKING: Telstra is looking to Starlink as a backup solution for emergency communications. • Following its nationwide outage, Telstra says Starlink satellite messaging could help people in areas without mobile coverage. • Users would be able to text a friend or family member via Starlink, who could then call Australia's Triple Zero emergency service on their behalf. • Direct texting to Triple Zero is not yet available. Starlink is becoming an increasingly important part of emergency connectivity in Australia.

Lisa (@Lisa9Sophia) reportedTelstra 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:

Jacko (@MichaelJacko70) reportedWhy in a capital city do all fail with internet coverage In out back Truganina phones and internet mobile connection are a massive fail. @Telstra @Optus @amaysimAU
-
Helmut Brodesser (@hbrodesser) reported@trobb158 @FetchStep Especially one that echoes Barnaby Joyce’s moronic suggestion of a link between the Telstra blackout and a Chinese rocket test.
-
Adam B (@sevenofcrime) reported@nemagovau Hope it doesn’t rely on a 20 year network time protocol server in a disused lavatory at Telstra HQ.
-
Paddy (@Dabatsau) reported@7NewsMelbourne But you still have to go with an Aus provider as they own the leases on the spectrum it uses and are the only ones to provide service in buildings and high density areas. Optus & Telstra already can provide sms via starlink with calls and data in a few years. So no - the major telcos are not under threat.

Adésọjí (@sam4se) reported@cb_doge "Telstra CEO confirms Starlink could connect Australians in mobile dead zones to emergency services. Game-changer."

Robyn Tan (@robyntan) reportedSo Telstra only had one GPS "card" for the whole Australian telecommunications network? Total incompetence. Heads must roll and compensation to all #telstra customers.

Patrick 🇦🇺 (@pattpkr) reportedBypass Telstra entirely, and you'll see an entire network crumble it'd be glorious.
