  @Telstra You don't even explain what you did? That is NOT taking responsibility, just saying SORRY, OOPS, is NOT responsibility. What was the CAUSE of the bad firmware time stamp? Ai ? Outsourcing to India ? Outsourcing to India where they used Ai?

  @26MoreLives it will never happen here ... if only because there'd be some sort of Telstra outage

  @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.

  The government’s big idea for fixing telco failures? Slap them with a $7.3 billion spectrum renewal tax — almost double what Telstra considered fair value — then threaten massive fines for triple-zero outages. Gartner analyst Khurram Shazad said it outright: this can do the opposite of strengthening resilience. Telcos are already stuck with stagnating revenue growth. These inflated spectrum fees just crush their margins harder. So they do the obvious thing under pressure. They stop spending on actual redundancy. No secondary backup power systems at base stations. No automated routing failovers. No diverse fibre backhaul paths. Capital expenditure gets deferred instead. The core network becomes brittle. One software glitch or timeserver ****-up and failures cascade into proper disasters. High spectrum costs simply extract the economic surplus from the sector. Networks look faster on paper because of the shiny new bands. In practice they are significantly less resilient when it actually matters. When the next outage hits and the “improved” networks fall over anyway, who gets the blame?

  @Telstra Good PR, this. Short term, the outage was a bit of a disaster, but accepting responsibility and learning from it internally is the right way to move on. Crazy that something as simple as NTP can cause a rolling cascade, but that's the nature of the beast.

  @Telstra "..giving you clear information". You've already broken your word. No clear information has been given as to the cause. Software issue is not clear information. It is obfuscation. What *exactly* happened?
