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.

Casus Belli 🇦🇺🇦🇺 (@PHILIPDOWLING4) reportedHow many other single points of failure does the Telstra network have ? How long since Telstra

Thetincansaint (@thetincansaint) reported@AFL @CalTwomey @Telstra Love it how port get dougie when he was never part of their academy but they saints don’t get gus

Chaz Michael Michaels (@centreozzy) reported@Batman2242 I remember before Telstra (telecom) at the time was privatised, phone calls and line rental was expensive. Since the phone network was opened up and privatised phone deals are way cheaper

Shanti Beach (@shantibeach888) reported@Starlink I have to get out of a telstra contract that is not what they told me coverage is crap at times

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.

deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported@OhappySt Oh I forgot about that. Telstra is still driving me bonkers in my area. Again when I had a deadline to meet the service went out. Eventually I'm going to have to get Starlink.

Madasahater (@Madasahater65) reported@ShelldoHanson @Telstra I have to login to all my tv's etc everyday. 5G 🤔

Svyatoslav Pidgorny 🇺🇦🇦🇺 (@Slav636) reported@rpotter_9 Telstra time server downed part of Telstra network, but I can’t readily think of anything that will down all three. Except maybe the GPS.
-
Brettme (@Brettski_aus) reported@KutthroatSosa @nemagovau Pretty sure the old one only used Telstra network (as it was a licenced Telstra product). Maybe this one broadcasts on all, which would solve a lot of the distribution issue. And in an emergency, a few minutes can mean a lot.
-
Ladybugfunk (@ladybugfunk) reportedSo the government can spam all our phones but they can’t stop the curry muncher scammers from calling us under the pretence of - solar panels, batteries, Telstra tech support, ANZ Bank security executive - lol that last one was hilarious. given I knew head of security of a large corporation and nobody in head office would be calling customers. Ever. **** you very much Albo!

'Dave Freer (@davefreersf) reported@RoadknightThe I got it. Telstra - **** service all week - but worked for this.

😻CalamityKitty ✝️ (@CalamityKittyAU) reported@grok Telstra. Phone on. Connected to network. Not in plane mode. Not out of range. In range. Receiving and making all calls and texts. No blocks. Everything normal. Did. Not. Receive.
-
Nagasaki Catholic Jedi (@M333111x2) reported@Matt_Camenzuli I report to you sleeping in my car using a Telstra pay phone free Internet hotspot. **** is far far far more dire than most wish to wake up to. I see it every night when others are comfy in bed in a home. Far more people are living tough than anyone realises — they ‘come out’ once people ‘go in’ — because otherwise they get told to move on. And they’re gone in the am before people know. SEVERE HARD TIMES are here.

Collin Beath (@AusDeFi24) reported@teslaownersSV No good calling 000 if the telstra and other networks are down anyway
-
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

💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reportedSince the @Telstra outage, the mobile coverage of the Telstra network has dropped significantly & also slowed significantly.
-
Milan (@EthNick_) reported@TelstraEnt Your phone support is utterly atrocious. @Telstra Will you improve on them & provide assistance???
-
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
-
Gizmo (@Gizmologist_) reported@folaoftech @Telstra How a single NTP rack server brings down an entire network.

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (@teslaownersSV) reportedNEWS: Telstra says Starlink could help save lives in Australia's remote regions. 🇦🇺 • Telstra CEO Vicki Brady says Starlink can help people stranded outside mobile coverage contact emergency services. • Telstra has partnered with SpaceX to bring Starlink Direct-to-Cell satellite messaging to Australia. • Eligible customers can send satellite text messages to friends or family when no terrestrial mobile signal is available. • The service is designed to provide a critical communication option in remote and isolated areas. Starlink Direct-to-Cell is bringing emergency connectivity to places where traditional mobile networks can't reach.

Mark A (@MarkA5859) reportedI really am angry the LNP rooted the NBN. Now I have to seriously consider Musk’s Starlink for my Internet especially since both Telstra & Optus have & are having issues.

Robyn Tan (@robyntan) reportedWas it an old $30,000 server or old GPS receiver? One or the other. #telstra outage error

Sassy Cass (@SassyCassAus) reported@JakeBeer11 @OhappySt My telstra worked for this the first time outside of the small space it actually gets service here. Did it deliberately, and now I want to know what the actual **** Telstra ....
-
Heliophilus (@Heliophilus) reported@Starlink @Telstra Shame it's through Telstra and not purely Starlink. Speaking as an Aussie who's regional and driving 15 minutes any direction from my town has the service drop out, I love my Starlink. People in my town love Starlink. I hate Telstra. Cost a fortune and offer very little back.
-
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.
