Daniel (@VoteLewko) reportedMy predictions for the nationwide Ausalert test today at 2PM AEST. 1) Drivers whose mobile phone goes berzerk cop a $423 fine and 5 demerit points. 2) School teachers bust students who've been handing in a burner phone every morning before school. 3) Matinee session of The Odyssey interrupted causing mass rush to the toilets. 4) Spies, TV and Radio broadcasters learn the difference between mute and off when their career detonates faster than a Hezbollah pager. 5) Telstra network engineers clench hard.

Napoleon Bonaparte (@Napoleon__Bon) reportedBREAKING: Telstra is looking to Starlink as a backup solution for emergency communications. • Following its nationwide outage, Telstra says Starlink satellite messaging could help people in areas without mobile coverage. • Users would be able to text a friend or family member via Starlink, who could then call Australia's Triple Zero emergency service on their behalf. • Direct texting to Triple Zero is not yet available. Starlink is becoming an increasingly important part of emergency connectivity in Australia.

𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐚'𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐲 (@SardineTruther) reportedI have some great stories regarding this while working for Telstra/Belong many years ago regarding the establishment of Telstra's 'Centre of Excellence' i.e. The Cut Salaries By 94% Factory. It destroyed 90% of non-binary customer service jobs based in Melbourne, plunging the Adventure Time fan-community of the city in to technical recession. It was a tale for the ages that I once posted and shortly after had to remove due to it's potentially defamatory nature. I'll post it again one day, but you'd have to DM me and swear to secrecy otherwise.

Josh (@joshatticus) reported@immyonboard It was a complete failure. It is not in a good enough state to be released. Requiring iOS 26.4 or later is absolutely not acceptable. The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though

Chrissy D 🌼 (@DowseChristine) reported@BonoboWanderer @Batman2242 My starlink is super fast and $40 a month cheaper than telstra. I've had no issues at all.

💎mia🎹🇦🇺 (@msamethyst) reported@Telstra is so useless. My call to japan was being cut off at 15 min when I have a call pack which lets me call unlimited. Everytime I log to chat with support. They said it’s my mobile phone issue. 4 months on I got annoyed and lodged a complaint with TIO.

Christian (@truechristianh) reported@realRick_AUS Don’t hold your breath! The aus government will reprivatise Telstra and ban Starlink before that happens. We’ll get higher prices and a shitter service!

Juanessa (@Juanessa22) reported@BenCarrollMP Fuel crisis Ben!!!! What are you doing to alleviate the rising costs? You’ve announced nothing in this area. Also fix the VLine & Metro issues. We’ve heard zero post the Telstra outage. ZERO FFS!!!

Nate Svoboda (@gr8tsworld) reported@Starlink @Telstra The real breakthrough is turning “no signal” from a dead end into a temporary inconvenience.

Dr Ravi Nayyar (@ravirockks) reported'This is despite Allens never asking Telstra this and strict rules about firms’ consulting and auditing arms not discussing clients.

Dani (@sqronce) reported@Seamus_the_pres @OliverKlozoff96 @SethLargo I'm in Australia, and I worked for Telstra back in 2009 and they told us that if we were stuck on a call with a customer past the end of our shift, we would not be paid for that time, and if we didn't like it, there were other people who wanted our jobs. I'm pretty sure this is

Ray Finkle (@itsrayfinkle) reportedAusAlert cost ~$130 million to rollout. A 13x increase from the $10m initial budget. Here are the known costs and estimates: $10m Initial Planning Taskforce $60-70m Carrier access tolls (Telstra, Optus, TPG) $30m Security architecture & hardening $20-25m Foreign hardware + offshore managed services $5-10m Public awareness, testing & administration Want to know how each allocation is spent? Too bad. Contractors and government use "Commercial-in-Confidence" clauses to keep specific commercial margins and costs hidden from the public eye. A 1300% blowout with no accountability.

ZettaWire (@ZettaWires) reportedTelstra suffers major outage across Australia, disrupting trains, payments and emergency calls. Network serving 24.9 million mobile services hit by time-node issue; root cause under investigation. #Telstra #Australia

Blindsided (@Blindsidedly) reported@MsMountebank Time to decimate overly generous executive pay. Again with #Origin, #Telstra, a known 'cheap' fix, with the impacts borne by customers. If they can't do their jobs don't pay them. Prices for both sectors ratcheted up regularly, even now during a cost of living crisis #auspol

Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported@immyonboard @Telstra If you are talking about NBN, there are many choices of ISPs that are superior to Telstra. If you need mobile, anyone on the Vodafone network is probably the best (seems to be the most reliable of the 3 networks)

John Livingstone (@JohnLiv96683208) reported@moosemobileau If anyone is ever thinking of changing their mobile phone service to Moose Mobile,I strongly suggest you DO NOT. Their Pathetic customer service is right up there with @Telstra. No Phone support No email support #moosemobileterrible

Jacqui 🇦🇺🌴🌺🌴🌸 (@jaxsunsurf) reported@Gizmologist_ Funny how telco’s never had this problem before wouldn’t surprise me if Telstra orchestrated Optus outage to knock them out of the market like Qantas did to Rex blocking airports We’ve had polair lately at night doing thermal mapping of the area fly round almost 2hrs each time

Mo Syed (@msyed_) reportedWhat's happening in the land down under 1. AusAlert passed the test. That’s not the same as passing the public. Millions of phones lit up during the national AusAlert test. Others got nothing. Older phones missed it. Landlines missed it. Queensland has already said it’s not signing up yet. The government still called it a success. That’s the problem with big national systems. They can work at scale and still fail the people who need them most. An emergency alert isn’t a marketing email. “Most people received it” isn’t the standard. The standard is whether it reaches the person in a flood zone, bushfire path, or cyclone area, including people with old devices, poor coverage, disabilities, or no smartphone at all. 2. Origin’s breach has moved from “what was stolen?” to “what was agreed?” Origin has confirmed data from about 900,000 current and former customers was taken. Now the alleged hacker says the matter has been privately settled and the data won’t be released. That leaves one very obvious question: was a ransom paid? Companies hate talking about this because there are no good options. Paying doesn’t guarantee deletion. Not paying can mean customer data gets dumped online. And either way, the people whose details were stolen have no say in the negotiation. The breach is the first failure. The weeks of uncertainty afterwards are the second. 3. A Telstra outage stopped trains. It shouldn’t have. A telecoms outage took out trains because the switch to the Telstra mobile network was poorly managed. This is what people mean when they talk about critical infrastructure. A train network shouldn’t depend on one fragile link behaving perfectly. The backup needs to be real. Tested. Able to fail over without someone discovering in the middle of an outage that the contingency plan was mostly a PDF and good intentions. Australia is wiring more of daily life into connected systems. Reliability is no longer an IT metric. It’s whether people can get home.

AlloAllo (@squirtlesma) reported@telstra ripping people off again & again How can you justify taking $280 repeatedly processing payments in $10+$20 lots for a PREPAID service & then not crediting the account 1x $20 was processed 4x & a pop up said it failed Now service suspended bill not paid IT'S PREPAID 🤬

RocketT🅰️nk123 (@RocketTank123) reportedApparently of the 604 failed emergency calls on Telstra network, only 172 were successful. This raises a question whether these calls were made in Telstra only cells. If yes, this raises a possible use case for satellite, for roaming carriers to beam to these cells for emergency.
