Cotty (@Cotty_Merv) reported@Offerandextend @Wolfie__Bear @Telstra So did everything go smoothly? Did the world collapse because you couldn't call your midwife as soon as you went into labour? Or did you just need to get your main character syndrome fix?

Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reportedSACK VICKI BRADY - SHE ERASES COMPLAINTS Telstra ignored warnings about equipment issue ahead of national outage, inquiry hears

Titch Ashen (@titchashen) reportedGod old human error was the cause of the massive Telstra outage. Guess in a way that's reassuring that a preventable stuff up was the cause, rather than bad actors. For the cause of such a depilating telco outage.

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.

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!

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.
-
Drake | Strategy (@mitri_drake) reported@r3tarddownunder @MehreenFaruqi Do not listen to this idiot. Privatisation has not failed. Privatisation reduced bloated government inefficiency and is the reason why ASIC, Telstra and many other organisations have streamlined their bloated costs. If you want to blame someone for Telstra’s issues, blame the exponential growth in Australia’s population. This has driven demand for services far beyond current supply. Infrastructure upgrades require resources — time, money and a capable workforce — to meet the new demand curve. Infrastructure does not magically appear just because something is suddenly managed by a corporation instead of the government.

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.

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.

Hello Possum (@PossumHello) reported@AllBiteNoBark88 Do you think the so called Telstra outage last week may have been a deliberate shutdown for upgrading? Think about it.

Epiphany (@Jce1035) reported@AFL @Telstra Nice to have a midfielder that give a ****

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.
-
Casus Belli 🇦🇺🇦🇺 (@PHILIPDOWLING4) reportedHow many other single points of failure does the Telstra network have ? How long since Telstra
-
Ferdie Khnopff (@FKhnopff) reported@strangerous10 Telstra had a risk assessment signed off by the PM which said mitigations in place to isolate any faults, which were unlikely, & consequences was rated low. This meant the expenditure could be deferred. It was not a technical or a people problem. It was a pass the buck problem.

Pragmatic Australian (@Pragmaticaust) reported@samstrades Today 19/7/26 - trying to get info from Telstra on how to lodge a complaint/compensation about the outage, Telstra are saying to customers that the cause was “unforeseen” …… they can’t help themselves #telstra #youhaveonejob #sackthelot
-
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.

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.
-
TassieDevyl (@TasDevyl) reported@geerlingguy Bloody hell they were so focussed on profit they didn't bother upgrading their timeservers? Let's hear it for John Howard who decided to privatise Telstra to help cover up his Govt's. own dismal financial track record.
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reported@naomibrockwell We 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.
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@Telstra Telstra asking customers to prove how they were affected by the outage is digusting. STOP IT VICKI BRADY - YOU ARE ON $8 MILLION A YEAR!!!!!!!

JimmytheAustralian🇦🇺 (@TheRealShibLee) reported@GutsB35378 @indicmawntee Eat **** like you normally do telstra tech support.

MsNobody (@MrsNobody21) reported@telstra Why the hell do I STILL HAVE NO SERVICE????!

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.

Jacko (@MichaelJacko70) reportedWhy in a capital city do all fail with internet coverage In out back Truganina phones and internet mobile connection are a massive fail. @Telstra @Optus @amaysimAU
-
twensor (@twensor) reported@ravirockks Telstra: "our controls were not good enough". Understatement of the year? Culture is the problem: minimise maintenance costs & only fix things when they fail - - because customers bear the costs of outage. Telcos need a big lesson in what an essential service means. #auspol

David Havyatt (@havyatt) reported@FKhnopff @Democracy_Duck @ABCmediawatch You are right that Labor privatised Qantas and CBA. But neither of these had a specific service obligation, unlike Telstra. Yes some in Labor were considering Telstra sale, but it never became policy. 3/3
-
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.

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.
