  Good morning Melbourne! All Vline services are suspended due to the ongoing Telstra outage. Our services continue to operate given our underlying infrastructure dates back to the 1800s and doesn’t rely on this modern technology nonsense. #MetroTrains

  @FranMooMoo I’m in. Telstra and Optus have had the market monopoly for too long and wtf do we get for it? Excellent coverage in the Gold Coast and absolutely woeful phone reception in the entire rest of the country. Starlink will level the playing field nationwide.

  Telstra turned the network off for the Modi visit tomorrow, to stop patriots protesting. Some rumour.

  Telstra's network went down nationwide yesterday and every EFTPOS terminal in the country went dark! Transport systems froze. Payment systems stopped. Businesses couldn't take money. In Melbourne or Sydney, that's an inconvenience. You walk to the next street and find a different network. In Wangaratta, where Telstra is often the only carrier with reliable coverage, the entire town's commerce stops. I watched this play out yesterday. A local retailer had customers in store, stock on the shelf, staff on the clock. But the payment terminal was a brick. No cash backup. No offline mode. No fallback. Three hours of dead air while wages ticked up and customers walked out. Here's the thing: this was entirely predictable. Not the exact timing. But the fact that a single point of failure would eventually fail. The businesses that kept trading yesterday had done one thing differently. They'd built a second path: • Mobile data on a different carrier as backup • Offline transaction capture that syncs when connectivity returns • A manual payment workflow that staff actually know how to use None of this is expensive. None of it requires an IT team. It requires thinking about failure before it happens. Every regional business I've worked with has at least one single point of failure like this. One supplier. One carrier. One person who knows the password. One system that, if it goes down, stops the money. The Telstra outage will be forgotten by Friday. The next one will hit harder. What's the one system in your business that, if it went down for three hours right now, would stop you taking a single payment?
