-
John Young (@JohnYoung146083) reported@ReutersTech 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.

Dr Ravi Nayyar (@ravirockks) reported'... if his Telstra landline was down, given the patchy mobile signal in his area, he or his wife or son would have to get in the car in order to call Triple Zero.
-
Wilma Domjan (@wilma_domjan) reported@keating01 Isn’t OPTUS & Telstra’s outage breakdown a strong reason NOT TO go digital on everything under one system of Government control? How many different services went out - not just 000? Can’t bank, buy petrol, grocery, use your card! EVEN WORSE is if we have a power supply outage!
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reportedSo, we are now being told by Telstra, that the Indian code cutters, misunderstood the message about how to fix a problem they knew about, but did not communicate what the so called fix was The Telstra Net Result was to fix a problem create another bigger prblem And that CEO shelia keeps her $multi-million job? Anyone there Shareholders?

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

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?
-
Ghost Patrol (@iamghostpatrol) reportedTelstra down again?
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@Telstra Telstra has sent "Sorry we let you down" emails to customers but are deleting complaints. VICKI BRADY MUST RESIGN.
-
Nick Gipson/Enigma🕶️ (@enigmaxtreme) reported@Telstra Having so much of a country's infrastructure relying on a single company never EVER failing is just asking for disaster. There needs to be a fall back, especially when it comes to Triple Zero
-
Sean Nicoara (@snicoara) reported@Telstra Why not tell the whole truth though? You failed to update or replace hardware that was providing ntp to your network for years past eol and your network died because of it. That's just sheer negligence.
-
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.

William Evans (@will_evans_qld) reported@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.

Lynn Phillips (@HappyPawsTreats) reportedJust got an email from Telstra. Couldn't copy the image, so this is the body of the mesasage. An "apology". That's all. These people aren't serious AND they're cheap .... "Sorry we let you downLast week we let you down, and I am sorry for that. An issue in our mobile network caused significant disruption to our customers and to Australians. We know how much people rely on us to keep in touch, do their work, run businesses and stay safe. It's extremely frustrating when mobile services aren't available, and we're deeply sorry for the impact this had on so many people. Networks are large and complex, and we invest significantly in the resilience of our network. When something goes wrong, we're committed to taking accountability, giving you clear information, and fixing issues as quickly as possible. We understand what caused the issue and will complete a full investigation and take what we learn to make our network stronger. You have my commitment on that. More details about what occurred are available on our network outage webpage, including if you want to get in contact or make a complaint. We've also seen some reports of customers receiving calls from fraudsters trying to take advantage of this moment. Please be extra careful of calls you receive from people claiming to be from Telstra. If you're unsure, hang up and call us directly. We take our responsibility as Australia's largest telco extremely seriously. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this, and for the trust you place in us. We don't take it for granted. Vicki Brady, Chief Executive Officer, Telstra📷"

Tr3ggs (@Tr3ggs) reported@FREAK0NAUT @Nd172557208 So you spend the 30k and make it a redundant fail over rather than a single fail point. Still a rounding error for Telstra.

MercurialJester (ジェスタ)🌡| PNGTuber ✊ 🇵🇸🍉🇱🇧✊ (@MercJestr) reportedA reminder that for the half-yearly fiscal report of 2025/26 Telstra posted $1.2B in profit. For HALF A YEAR. But the best they can do when their national network is crippled for their back-end ****-up is a half hearted shrug and a milquetoast "oopsie" email.

▪️▫️DAVID▪️▫️ (@turtlemagpies) reported@Telstra What a disgrace that each Telstra customer has to individually apply for compensation for the outages last week. Really shows what you think of your customers. Just provide free data like Optus did you scabs. Pathetic 😡 #telstra #telstraoutage
-
John McWhinney (@john_mcwhinney) reported@crankyanni You do understand a network the size of Australia cannot simply be turned off and rebooted ! The complexity of so many outdated and incompatible software programs interacting is very problematic ! What happened with telstra will happen again ! The whole system needs a rebuild !
-
Megan 🐈⬛ (@miss_inputs) reported@Telstra I'm not even a Telstra customer I'm just adding to the ratio
-
Bite Back Dog (@BiteBackDog) reported@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.
-
Neurospicy Life (@NeurospicyLife3) reported@WandaNightOwl Ouch on the journey time! I feel you though, they’re great until they’re not. Hope you didn’t get stuck with the Telstra outage last week too 😬

Sam (@SamFaff) reported@Telstra down again?

John McWhinney (@john_mcwhinney) reportedThe Recent Telstra outage has proven Cash has its place when everything goes to **** !
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@2GB873 Telstra are offering $15 credit to customers for outage. What??????????????? Brady is on $8 million a year. Can 2GB investigate??? This is disgraceful.

Bulldog 2016 (@ianpicone) reported@sarahinthesen8 listening to the Telstra enquiry. SHY is as thick as pig ****. Coming across as a simpleton. @Telstra #Auspol2026

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!
-
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.

Dr Ravi Nayyar (@ravirockks) reported'... near the border of New South Wales and the ACT. Mobile black spots cover the area. '... his Telstra landline ... under Priority Assistance for Life-Threatening Medical Conditions — a service that the telco is required to provide under its carrier licence.
