Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Horatio (@_cocles) reported@Telstra "..giving you clear information". You've already broken your word. No clear information has been given as to the cause. Software issue is not clear information. It is obfuscation. What *exactly* happened?
-
Rob E Russell (@RobERussell1) reportedJust watching the senate enquiry about the Telstra outage with greens idiot Sarah Hanson Young asking questions that border on stupidity. She’s as thick as ****. Yes Telstra ****** up and you can be sure they’ll be moving heaven and earth to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Get over it
-
Cool McCool (@MisterSpock8888) reported@Telstra 4/6 5. "It's extremely frustrating" are you now telling customers how how they are feeling? Paragraph 3 6. Networks are large and complex" Oh really. I thought it was string and tin cans. 7. "invest significantly in resilience" obv not working / bad investing.
-
Bo Merchant 🇦🇺 (@BoMerchant1) reported@Telstra If you’re going to raise the price of 5g home internet have the decency to change to unlimited data. You owe people that especially after the outage that happened.
-
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.
-
John Young (@JohnYoung146083) reported@NewsTongueX 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.
-
John (@jrgibson1) reported@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??
-
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:
-
Peter von Kittenmask (@vonkittenmask) reported@Telstra Good PR, this. Short term, the outage was a bit of a disaster, but accepting responsibility and learning from it internally is the right way to move on. Crazy that something as simple as NTP can cause a rolling cascade, but that's the nature of the beast.
-
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.
-
Luke Weston (@lukeweston) reportedVery plausible and likely explanation for the Telstra timekeeping issue.
-
Cool McCool (@MisterSpock8888) reported@Telstra 2/6 Paragraph 1 1. Shud summarise. We stuffed up, know why, implementing things to lower risk, we want to hear from you" 2. "We let you down” soft vs we failed to provide service you paid for. Common corp apol formula. Sounds accountable w/out creating broader admission.
-
Hipstergeddon (@hipstergeddon) reported@Telstra When you say “issue” do you mean the Nation wide Telstra mobile outage ? - that issue ?
-
Difficult Deb Campbell @Samsplace9 (@samsplace9) reported@Telstra well done. In an unprecedented occurrence after more than 40 years as a customer, Telstra staff - part of the transition team from ADSL to NBN - have, after a series of missteps, done everything single thing they promised to do yesterday. Thank you.
-
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.
-
deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported@strangerous10 Telstra has problems but it's not due to China. Especially in the regions and that is the reason why so many have turned to starlink. Because it works.
-
10 News (@10NewsAU) reportedTelstra customers who were affected by the widespread outage last week will be able to apply for compensation. The incident left millions of Australians without phone coverage, halted public transport services and impacted digital payments at businesses. The telco’s CFO said customers will have to provide clear evidence of their loss and an estimated claim amount, which will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
-
Pokewood Theater (@pokewoodtheater) reported@Telstra Not good enough, give us a few free months of service for your screw up
-
tsell (@TsellSellersfam) reported@Deevitha_ Im happy with everything except the price its way too expensive. I signed up for the lowest amount i could havent even been signed up for a month and they put the price up just as bad as fkn telstra in that department.
-
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.
-
Drew Morphettville (@Goldenjocks) reported@Larryjamieson_ >ABC demands Telstra pay a jeet half of lost fare, claims a booking was confirmed from Tullamarine to Townsville approx. 30secs before outage
-
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.
-
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
-
No Shenanigans 😉 (@evanste46409034) reported@strangerous10 The Optus CEO fell on her sword after their nationwide outage a couple of years ago. The Telstra head might go the same way. What were they thinking, laziness, or just penny-pinching.
-
nunsense (@nunsense12) reported@FetchStep Yet another reason Telstra should never have been privatised. It's time we started another government telco.
-
twensor (@twensor) reported@peterke60628957 @FetchStep Telstra is a privatised cash cow. The executives see their job as maximising shareholder returns. Cheaper to fix/replace after it breaks rather than expensive preventative maintenance or eliminating all single points of failure. Profit first, customers last, every single time.
-
Eric Chilver (@ChilverEric) reported@grok Telstra outage, has me thinking of banking in Australia, tap and go hacking and digital currency security. Are all banks doing away with tellers or just certain branches
-
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.
-
Jojo 🎗 🇦🇺 (@joey_jo00) reportedQuestions should be asked as to why @Telstra does have adequate monitoring on it's network if they downdetector. Amatuers...
-
Teflo (@teflocarbon) reported@agroasx @Telstra Flexing 23 likes, lmao You do realise that Starlink is severely capacity limited compared to mobile towers, right? It's actually beneficial for the business models of mobile providers if they don't need to run very expensive rural towers to service like 500 customers.
