  @Telstra No I have not. I understand there was a problem earlier. I tried to call to sort it and was told Telstra had another problem relating to accessing customer details.

  @Telstra I’m still unable to connect. I understand there’s a NEW issue relating to accessing customer accounts. Very unhappy. Have been on the phone twice, into a store once and online chat once. Problem remains unresolved. Do not have sale reference number with me

  @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra During the event, I predicted the cause to be a faulty software update which had not been properly tested before deployment. I was right: "On Thursday, Ackland confirmed that the update pushed out to the rest of the network dialled back the clock internally to November 2006."

  @ruseethruable @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra out here landlines fail the moment the power goes out, no battery or generator backup at our exchange. mobile has 4 hour battery backup. our grid provider, essential energy, likes to schedule regular 8 hour outages for maintenance.

  @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?

  Legalities aside, look at what Senator Henderson did: 1/ Telstra says there's a Triple-Zero system outage 2/ Saying she's concerned at the well-being of Australians, she calls Triple-Zero -- twice 3/ Why? She doesn't trust "this govt" or the telco. At best, it's dangerously dumb

  @Butterlegs_ Ye that’s why I got it tbh, thinking if I ever do my regional trips I’ll cop a basic Telstra just in case and 5 years later well lol. That said I think they’ve expanded their network bc I was down in new norcia and a few other ruralish places and my cover never dropped so perhaps

  @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra That would be vodafone followed by optus and then telstra. Before anyone comes after me, vodafone went down for several months in 2010/2011, optus had a data breach in 2022 that affected nearly 10 million customers. Telstra just inconvenienced people.

  @heidimur Just a smoke screen to try and avoid the atrocious stuff ups this government is doing. I don't know of one electronic or computer device or system that sometimes doesn't have a problem. This government has caused so much more problems than Telstra. Allan is shifty.

  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

  One software glitch. Half a country reminded how fragile “modern life” really is. Australia’s Telstra outage didn’t just annoy mobile users. It hit emergency calls, regional trains, payment terminals, taxis, cafes, courts, and businesses. Basically: one telco hiccup turned into a national stress test. The scary part? Telstra says it wasn’t a cyberattack. It was a software/time-sync defect. That means the real villain wasn’t a hacker in a hoodie. It was boring infrastructure dependency — the kind nobody thinks about until trains stop, cards fail, and emergency calls need welfare checks. This is the future risk no one markets properly: AI is getting smarter. Cities are getting “connected.” Payments are going cashless. Transport is becoming software-driven. But when the invisible plumbing breaks, everything suddenly looks very offline. The takeaway is simple: Critical infrastructure can’t run on “trust us, we have backups.” It needs boring, expensive, battle-tested redundancy. Because the next outage won’t just be inconvenient. It could be dangerous.
