Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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.
-
katie 🍞 (@katiebecker16) reported@Kate3015 @Oz_Mocker Albanese also says that he and Telstra orchestrated the outage to help 16s stay off social media

wild (@wild68223259) reportedIt was all the go in the 1980s to make up for the inflation created by the Vietnam War and the abrupt increase in oil prices. That’s when we got the economic rationalists - tax cuts for the rich, razor gangs for everyone else. Welfare and public service cuts, deregulation of banks and privatisation. Back story is interesting - same folks at work behind the scenes. Yes, GDP went up, but wealth only flowed to the top end. At least Labor under pressure, only semi privatised Telstra and retained controlling shares. Qantas was different. Comm Bank should have at least mostly stayed public -my Mum only had a chance at getting a house because of it, but if we add in subsidies and failures, it has largely cost taxpayers far more and not just financially. It did however, enable operators and shareholders to get rich.

Kung 🇦🇺🇳🇿 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@DaKwozzie) reportedUn-Australian @sarahinthesen8 a @Greens fail trying to sound intelligent in the Senate Telstra hearings. Sea Patrol comes to mind. Another long-term #Grifter #auspoI

Sandra K Eckersley (@SandraEckersley) reportedThe media is WAY overestimating public interest in what the hell went wrong with the brief Telstra outage. Who really cares apart from tech heads? Learn from the mistake, MOVE ON. #auspol

Key Phaser (@KeyPhaser) reported@Ausbobsmit @lay440318 SHY was all fired up for the Telstra outage, all fire and brimstone. But we never saw this passion for Bondi.
-
Boxy (@BoxofPies80) reported@Telstra NBN down for second time in two weeks……
-
Peter Leversha (@PeterLeversha) reported@merchant_s35416 @Bender_Aus Privatising telecom was the right thing to do. And selling off Telstra was an even better idea. Both were drains in the economy. Trying to get telecom to fix anything used to be a pain in the butt. Look at NBN, over priced garbage. There's nothing wrong with a user pays system. Why should people in Horsham pay for a road they don't use in Melbourne?
-
William Hawk (@WilliamOneHawk) reported@SkyNewsAust The feckless airhead - Jane Hume - emerges from her wombat burrow to spout another load of drivel - blaming the government for a Telstra software issue.
-
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?
-
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
-
AliciaGJ 🖤🤍 (@aliciagjones) reportedWhat in goodness name is going on with @Telstra services in Melbourne? It’s never been soooo bad.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 Telstra didn't want to bid as Sol Trulijio hated Labor. They ended up not putting in a valid proposal. The other bidders weren't able to provide bids with sufficient financial support.
-
Robyn Tan (@robyntan) reportedI want a refund for my telstra service. @M_McCormackMP @SenSHenderson @sarahinthesen8 What is the model and manufacturer of Telstra GPS engine? Where is the firmware release document for the GPS fault that was ignored?
-
Bill Blakeney 🇦🇺 (@wablakeney) reportedHow is Sarah Hanson-Young leading a Senate enquiry into the recent Telstra outage. She can't even comprehend what a design change means!!
-
Red Rivers (@RedRivers994225) reported@AussieVal10 This is easy...I'm on Telstra. In a rural area so the phone doesn't work most of the time except when Telstra messages me to say my data ran out...after only renewing 2 days earlier...so mostly no internet on the phone most of the time either...even though i only use it to listen to pod casts from "conspiracy theorists" ...so i have just started switching it off most of the time anyway ..I highly recommend...Telstra service regionally...overpriced and mostly doesn't work except to "SEND" data ..of course...which i think is what i'm paying for....them to spy on me...LMAO
-
nunsense (@nunsense12) reported@FetchStep Yet another reason Telstra should never have been privatised. It's time we started another government telco.
-
Jackie . (@Dempsey57Jackie) reportedI’m a Telstra customer. I got an email apologising for the outage. That’s fine with me. Commercial customers maybe not so much.
-
Dr Ravi Nayyar (@ravirockks) reportedAs per Telstra (Submission No 7.2 to the 000 Inquiry) thus far: - Maintenance work on timing equipment --> Telstra restarts the box. - On restart, the GPS card didn't work as expected because of an intentional design change to fix an earlier issue --> GPS PNT flaw was triggered.
-
Melanie Grand (@1motherwolfx2) reportedTelstra is one company. It is unreliable and not dependable. I would investigate what's really going on inside the company. I've been saying for years that technology, as it is now, is totally unreliable and dangerous when it doesn't work.
-
TheBlackRaven (@DanishDayle) reported@GraemeEtt If it's being sent via Telstra or Optus god help us.
-
Robert dyer (@RdyerDyer) reported@Ausbobsmit She is totally ******* mad .Watching her today belittling the Telstra executives for the outage the other day and all from somebody who has never had to run a business.She has never employed anybody or had to pay wages .With technology you can always expect things to go wrong ffs
-
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.
-
MichaelG (@MichaelG0061) reported@AllBiteNoBark88 Don't worry the telstra network will probably collapse under the strain ?
-
Thetincansaint (@thetincansaint) reported@AFL @CalTwomey @Telstra Love it how port get dougie when he was never part of their academy but they saints don’t get gus
-
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
-
Jojo 🎗 🇦🇺 (@joey_jo00) reportedQuestions should be asked as to why @Telstra does have adequate monitoring on it's network if they downdetector. Amatuers...
-
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.
-
peter kenny (@peterke60628957) reported@FetchStep Telstra need to be nationalised. This is criminal, and ********* incident management. All their management should be sacked. For refusing to spend $30K to upgrade out if date infrastructure, its now cost them $30m. And god knows how ********* their vulnerability mgt is!

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.
