C C (@CC68891975) reported@marquet_yvette Same here but things have been difficult, not running as per usual. I’ve had a few issues, there has been activity under my Health app which I never use. Got notifications and then couldn’t read the messages.I must say, Google were amazingly helpful. Telstra are working on it.

MestaTee (@Toni_cious) reportedWhy you should avoid Buying a Locked iPhone. Most iPhone vendors do not take out the time to explain to their customers why they should not buy a locked iPhone despite the price difference between the same iPhone model and same storage. This is what every iPhone customer must know about locked iPhones. Locked iPhones are locked to one carrier (e.g Verizon, Telstra, Vodafone) these are like MTN,Glo and Airtel here in Nigeria. These iPhones are Sold by a carrier with a network lock, meaning you can only use the iPhone with their network as a means to protect their investments. These carriers subsidizes the iPhones and lets you pay over a 12 or 36 months period depending on the plan. So only their networks work on the iPhones. Locked iPhones only accept the original carrier’s sim unless unlocked. They cannot be used with local networks e.g A locked AT&T iPhone cannot accept local sims like MTN or Glo. They have very low resale value. Now most vendors do not explain all this to their customers, they let them buy locked iPhones which would definitely give them issues later and upon return,charge them for the iPhones to get unlocked which in most cases are temporary solutions as the iPhones would still remain locked later, so buying them are generally a loss for the customer. Always insist on buying a Factory Unlocked (FU) iPhone no matter the price difference and persuasion from the vendor. Hope this helps someone out there.

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.

Silence🇦🇺🏴🌳 (@ChasinGhsts) reported@Natho369 I live in in the NW Coast of TAS and the internet here is absolute dog ****. 5G constantly dropping out and this is before Telstra dropped the ball last week. On top of which my power bill during winter is $18 per day. This is a state that exports power.

GooseHerder (@goose_herder) reported@26MoreLives it will never happen here ... if only because there'd be some sort of Telstra outage
-
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.
-
Eric Chilver (@ChilverEric) reported@grok Telstra investigating this nations outage. The Senate estimates enquiry, is there a time frame for results in these investigations and enquiries. Has Telstra has been outsourceing work to under qualified Off shore workers which has caused the outage.
-
Robyn Tan (@robyntan) reportedWas it an old $30,000 server or old GPS receiver? One or the other. #telstra outage error
-
Tony Walton (@TheCyclonesSka) reported@Telstra "Sorry we let you down"!! What a load of spin bullshit!! You are nothing but GREEDY ARSEHOLES who aren't putting money into infrastructure, despite your bullshit!!! You never **** up raising your prices, do you?!! GREEDY ARSEHOLES!!!
-
nunsense (@nunsense12) reported@FetchStep Yet another reason Telstra should never have been privatised. It's time we started another government telco.

Megan 🐈⬛ (@miss_inputs) reported@Telstra I'm not even a Telstra customer I'm just adding to the ratio

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.

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
-
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.

Casus Belli 🇦🇺🇦🇺 (@PHILIPDOWLING4) reportedHow many other single points of failure does the Telstra network have ? How long since Telstra
-
Andrew Grimm (@andrewjgrimm) reported@Telstra Talk is cheap. At the very least, provide a refund for the days where you didn’t provide service.
-
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.
-
Winsor Dobbin (@winsordobbin) reportedOh dear. @Telstra are a little slow. “Last week we let you down, and I am sorry for that.”
-
ARTCvan 🍉 (@ARTCvan) reported@Naymmm_ @stupidtechtakes *actually the governments fault for whatever stupid reason, they forced Telstra/TPG/Optus to do these blanket bans on VoLTE capable devices if they weren’t sold locally for whatever reason
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@JasonWr25262117 @Telstra Vicki Brady needs to go. She is not working to improve Tesltra - just raises fees regularly and works against Australia Day. SHE MUST GO.
-
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.
-
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 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 Australians 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:

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.
-
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.
-
John Woodcroft (@jonwoodcroft) reported@sarahinthesen8 Sarah, thanks for conducting the Telstra Enquiry. I see two key issues I The equipment maintenance failure II The infrastructure configuration didn't confine the outage to one region or state. Infrastructure needs to be rebuilt so future outages are confined.
-
McCubbinEnjoyer (@McCubbinEnjoyer) reported@LeeRespecter Privatisation in her mind means cost cutting to provide more value to shareholders. What that means in reality for maintaining a network is outsourcing the work to Infosys or the like. I don't see how Telstra being public prevents that happening as its the done thing these days
-
John Young (@JohnYoung146083) reported@7NewsBrisbane 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.
-
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!!

Enertium AI Cyber Defence (@enertium) reported@CompSciFutures Holy kow I can’t believe Telstra and COA VICPOL still have not reconnected my M2M Medical emergency assistance sims. I’m supposed to be working on Tier 1 NOC for this cyber crisis. @FSF even prepaid me in stickers!!! F off McKinsey. See my GitHub: APMonitor. It’s big in NYC as a B NOC, because: walking down the street and throwing a date point over the fence. 🤘🤘🤘
