  @Telstra Hi Megan, I noticed a refund form re prepaid services to be completed by 20 October 2020, which takes 6 weeks or so to generate a cheque. Would you be able to find out how the prorata refund is computed & whether I will be able to keep my number of the iPhone. Thanks for yr help

  @Nolongerscot @madwixxy @BarbaraHFlowers Well it sort of is an emergency if it’s not going through & the Minister in charge was rushing back from holidays.I mean let’s apportion blame to the relevant minister here & Telstra who wanted exclusivity. At least we now know we need a back up,as it affected a lot of industries as well as 000. So quite a potentially dangerous situation & thanks for the spelling correction.Silly me.

  @Telstra All Tesltra customers need compensation for the outage - the phone bill for that month period needs to be waived and a payment of about $500 given, Vicki Brady is on $8 million a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CUSTOMERS SUFFERED A LOT WHILE SHE WAS PLEASURING HERSELF OVERSEAS.

  @AlastairClimate @PaulBongiorno Telstra (not Tesla, genius) was privatised by Howard, but Albanese’s Labor government directly contracts Telstra as the Emergency Call Person for Triple Zero. That’s why ACMA and the new Triple Zero Custodian are investigating, and why Labor can slap them with up to $30 million in fines. This wasn’t some 1990s relic. A software defect triggered a nationwide meltdown on 8 July 2026: 600+ Triple Zero calls failed, V/Line trains halted, payments and services crashed, hundreds needed welfare checks, and police are investigating a death potentially linked to it. Telstra itself admitted a secondary Triple Zero fault the next day. Your desperate “privatised decades ago, not our problem” line is pure hack deflection. The federal government has statutory oversight, regulatory power, and contractual responsibility for critical emergency infrastructure right now under Labor. Stop peddling ABC-grade spin for a clapped-out regime that can’t even keep Triple Zero working. Crawl back to your echo chamber.

  @blowingtom2 @Kerrynne_Liddle What are the odds Sarah Henderson never contacted anyone high up at Telstra like she claimed either?

  I can't help wondering what the connection to the Telstra outage was as well.

  @PaulBongiorno Oh woe is me ! Just purchase a sim card supported by Optus [this is redundancy contingency] when Telstra goes off line swap out their sim & slot in the backup & vice versa. Alteratively purchase a dual sim phone which allows you to switch between service providers

  @stationmum101 @Telstra Doubt it. They are so self absorbed, it would never cross their tiny little minds.

  PROFESSOR RODGERS SPEAKS FOR THE HARD WORKING AUST (@HelpRodger) reported 20 minutes ago

  To all the Telstra bashing fkwits. At any given moment, Telstra’s network is literally handling trillions to tens of trillions of low-level operations and technical events every single second — packet routing, signal processing, authentication, error correction, handovers, and more — across millions of devices, base stations, and core systems. Complex systems this large will fail occasionally. That’s not a defence of Telstra; it’s reality. The real issue is how dependent we’ve become on a single network. Any critical service, business, or individual relying on it should have a dual-network backup (another provider, satellite, or dedicated failover) ready to kick in. Blaming Telstra alone misses the point — build resilience into what matters. Don't blame Telstra,blame yourself for not preparing for the possibility of failure.
