manukoreri (Nick Chesterfield) 🇵🇸❤️🖤💛🇵🇸 (@manukoreri) reported@SimonBurns4 @Telstra @nemagovau Which is why it should have been a better algo. Priority 1, multiple broadcasts, override marketing and private SMS.... 7 minutes is very long time in a genuine emergency.
-
Richo (@Richo38896671) reported@Telstra @Jess_H19 What's that going to prove? For the last couple of days my Internet has been useless. I have tried to do a speed test but your link wouldn't open! The service at present is intermittent. When it works it's fine. A speed test is only a snap shot. When it doesn't it doesn't.
-
Milan (@EthNick_) reported@TelstraEnt Your phone support is utterly atrocious. @Telstra Will you improve on them & provide assistance???
-
Kim, Car Thief in Texas (@CarThiefinTexas) reported@HappyNacho73 I've got two numbers and the Telstra one on e-sim was very loud compared to the Optus network one.
-
ramrod (@Corlett3jays58) reported@KatyKray73 In the event of a global war, data centres will be prioriy targets for bombs, missiles, and emp nukes, because.... These data centres will control everything. Ffs, telstra and optus outages caused enough disruption, imagine a total testra and optus blackout, multiply that by 100

Aberrant Gentile (@AberrantGentile) reported@nemagovau If i receive the alert on the phones i had to replace because they couldn't call one number on one network that i don't use, "000" on Voda network. Then i want those phones imei numbers reinstated on the Telstra & Optus, that i have sims for. The public/private partnership scam
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reportedWe were shown how the NSA have packet capture devices on all fibre network pipe routers. Telstra use one also to mass scoop traffic. For later decryption with Quantum computers they already have. Mobile is remotely hackable by design ! CIA tech for subliminal mind control.
-
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.
-
Mark A (@MarkA5859) reportedI really am angry the LNP rooted the NBN. Now I have to seriously consider Musk’s Starlink for my Internet especially since both Telstra & Optus have & are having issues.
-
System Failure (@AlienSpoons) reported@NRL Telstra has ongoing glitches with it mobile data network and nobody gives a ****! Yeah! Possibly the phone network too but nobody answers calls these days.
-
Karen Smith (@mintomusings) reportedI get no telco can guarantee no network outages, but they can guarantee replacing ageing equipment when it’s needed. @Telstra hasn’t explained WHY it decided not to replace a $30k piece of infrastructure, particularly when it’s responsible for maintaining the Triple 0 network.
-
BrownSquirrel (@BrownSquirrel) reported@telstra Since I havent had an answer back from you yet I will ask again. Why am I "blocked from making an o/seas call because I am on a prepaid plan"? Since when? More so since your prices are going up YET AGAIN why am I being charged more for less service?
-
Pete (@Travellingtooks) reported@ArkinBarkin @Ryandally08 They hire their mates, ex Labor poles, retired bureaucrats as consultants eg NBN, NDIS, Telstra, etc costs and salaries go up while service fails.
-
Bardy Bigglesworth (@BardyBiggles) reported@VibewireCentral Great to see the reasons why @Telstra network failed. More money to shareholders other than into the network. #auspol
-
Josh (@joshatticus) reported@mar790032894313 @JoshButler The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
-
Josh (@joshatticus) reported@immyonboard It was a complete failure. It is not in a good enough state to be released. Requiring iOS 26.4 or later is absolutely not acceptable. The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
-
Maarten 1947 *One Man's Opinion. (@Maarten1947) reportedMaybe a $30Million Fine might make Telstra take it's Corporate responsibility more serious. $30 Thousand Server replacement/ $30 Million Fine shareholders might assume is a No Brainer when it comes down to Common Sense.decisions.
-
Bill Nosworthy (@BillNosworthy) reported@rwallace67 @SimonCotter62 We have 2 mobiles with telstra, only because there's no other option at present! Everything else has been shut down, saving around $400 a month. Added starlink (home & mini) for less than $200/month, so after 6 months all the hardware is paid for as well. No regrets, it's v good!
-
ZettaWire (@ZettaWires) reportedTelstra suffers major outage across Australia, disrupting trains, payments and emergency calls. Network serving 24.9 million mobile services hit by time-node issue; root cause under investigation. #Telstra #Australia
-
Heliophilus (@Heliophilus) reported@Starlink @Telstra Shame it's through Telstra and not purely Starlink. Speaking as an Aussie who's regional and driving 15 minutes any direction from my town has the service drop out, I love my Starlink. People in my town love Starlink. I hate Telstra. Cost a fortune and offer very little back.
-
꒰ঌ kira b 星绮丽 ໒꒱ (@k1rab0shi) reportedWow I love paying Telstra for 5G and then getting no signal at all at home
-
Sassy Cass (@SassyCassAus) reported@JakeBeer11 @OhappySt My telstra worked for this the first time outside of the small space it actually gets service here. Did it deliberately, and now I want to know what the actual **** Telstra ....
-
Matthew Perrin (@MbPerrin) reported@teslaownersSV @grok will this include Aldi which piggybacks the Telstra network?
-
nunsense (@nunsense12) reported@FetchStep Yet another reason Telstra should never have been privatised. It's time we started another government telco.
-
Blindsided (@Blindsidedly) reported@MsMountebank Time to decimate overly generous executive pay. Again with #Origin, #Telstra, a known 'cheap' fix, with the impacts borne by customers. If they can't do their jobs don't pay them. Prices for both sectors ratcheted up regularly, even now during a cost of living crisis #auspol
-
Ishmaelah Bonne (@IshmaelahBonne) reported@Telstra @sportsnallPT Again! Last week the network went down and people died because emergency services weren't available. Should never have privatised the company and with your over paid useless executives
-
𝗴 𝗹 𝗼 𝘄 (@glowwxx) reported@Aussie_Dad5 @Zhshshdjsjsjs You’re so retarded it’s embarrassing. The fact you think turning your phone off means they can’t collect your data shows your IQ. 1. Turning off your phone isn’t turning off your phone it pings to a cell tower constantly. Most phones go into a “deep sleep” mode in which where gps, microphone and network are still active 2. If they wanted to collect data they wouldn’t need an alert to do it. They would just go to Optus and Telstra, give them your number and get everything they want. Or just ask Apple or google to comply.

Hector Savage (@King_Hipp0) reported@danderfield Telstra Dome first? I can't remember, I keep calling it Etihad or Docklands though, have never called it Marvel Stadium
-
the what an election chocobo (@noreasonspec) reportedEver since the outage Telstra has been honestly dog **** What the fk are they doing
-
Mark Flynn (@mjfly1) reported@titchashen Yeah, once upon a time a change like this was tested in a dedicated test & evaluation lab that represented the network, including redundancy, but it looks like now Telstra, but hopefully not other critical service providers, don’t bother. Guess they don’t have test staff anymore
