  @lostonabikeOz @RoadknightThe My telstra phone copped it despite receiving pretty much zero anything else on the cellular network here. Odd.

  @Telstra @sportsnallPT Again! Last week the network went down and people died because emergency services weren't available. Should never have privatised the company and with your over paid useless executives

  @geofiasco @DHughesy @aaronsmith Aside: Whether the Telstra sale was ultimately a windfall is contested. It raised $60bn to sell the assets, then we spent $60bn on NBN Co just to regain access to the assets sold and duplicate/upgrade the network we sold - and Telstra has paid something like $80-85bn in shareholder dividends along the way. In many respects, NBN shouldn't exist. It should have been the $80-85bn in "shareholder dividends" to the Public Owner that paid for the fibres to be laid - not a $60bn investment after a $60bn sale. But NBN was forced to be created after a now-shareholder-owned Telstra responded to how it might build a national broadband network with a non-compliant 12 page letter effectively saying "we won't - the copper wires are our privately-owned monopoly and we want to protect our market monopoly".

  Telstra 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

  @CaveThunk @Aussie_Dad5 I didn't switch mine off to stop it and yet it didn't come through anyway. Telstra were doing work in the area. Interrupted service

  @KataKez Telstra can already spam everyone connected to cell tower without this ****. Think about the times when you have travelled somewhere and you get that text saying something like they are “doing work on this network over the next 5 days”

  @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

  I 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.

  @gpeurocars These 1/2 wits leave us unsafe! Telstra & Optus widespread outages triggers severe, cascading national security & public emergencies as modern infrastructure is hyper-connected, a single software defect or network drop instantly paralyzes critical systems, not just calls. 2/2 🧵
