  @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra Not just the country Mike, the worst in the Southern Hemisphere!

  @wilmsfront @user26194736 That is increasingly difficult and there are any number of organisations that have no possibility whatsoever of reverting to pencil and paper in an emergency. But this strikes me as a more basic error. That said, someone may have signed off on this as an acceptable risk. I can't say whether or not that was the right call but if it was, then expecting Telstra to own it is a bit unfair.

  Someone help me out, no apologist for Telstra but the ABC found an "expert" talking up the outage saying the phone not working cost a coffee shop $20,000 in lost income?? $5,OOO dollars an hour coz the phone don't work? Some coffee shop. Fake outrage tabloid reporting yet again?

  @hutcho66 @MiddleMoney @Anneeokeefe I believe the issue this time around was that Telstra started sending out incorrect datetime info across their network, and railway systems took that data onboard and fell over horribly.

  Liddle’s claim about a Telstra-outage death sits untethered, SA police digging while she doubles down on the same ‘victim’ narrative. three weeks post-blackout, still not a correction #auspol #sapol

  So apparently it was an update that went awry that caused Telstra to go down. So makes me ask the question again why do companies not thoroughly sandbox their updates before rolling them out. Because if the system is so fragile then ensure every update is ready to go.

  @heidimur Amazing how she expects compensation from Telstra but has very strict limits (that deny nearly everyone) compensation for tyre damage Jacinta's failure to maintain the roads has caused.

  TELSTRA OUTAGE III This outage has severe strategic/security implications for Australia. If the whole of Eastern Australia's communications is knocked out by a single malfunction/incident. A major rethink of the configuration of communication infrastructure seems in order.

  @JacintaAllanMP Telstra is most expensive service provider and can't even manage their network properly? We expect some resignations from executives on this failure.

  @eddit0r @OperationalInc1 Hey wait, if I live in an estate/apartment building that has non-NBN fibre and Telstra don't sell services on it, and I call them to order my USO-guaranteed home phone service and they say no, can I sue them?
