  Bypass Telstra entirely, and you'll see an entire network crumble it'd be glorious.

  What's happening in the land down under 1. AusAlert passed the test. That’s not the same as passing the public. Millions of phones lit up during the national AusAlert test. Others got nothing. Older phones missed it. Landlines missed it. Queensland has already said it’s not signing up yet. The government still called it a success. That’s the problem with big national systems. They can work at scale and still fail the people who need them most. An emergency alert isn’t a marketing email. “Most people received it” isn’t the standard. The standard is whether it reaches the person in a flood zone, bushfire path, or cyclone area, including people with old devices, poor coverage, disabilities, or no smartphone at all. 2. Origin’s breach has moved from “what was stolen?” to “what was agreed?” Origin has confirmed data from about 900,000 current and former customers was taken. Now the alleged hacker says the matter has been privately settled and the data won’t be released. That leaves one very obvious question: was a ransom paid? Companies hate talking about this because there are no good options. Paying doesn’t guarantee deletion. Not paying can mean customer data gets dumped online. And either way, the people whose details were stolen have no say in the negotiation. The breach is the first failure. The weeks of uncertainty afterwards are the second. 3. A Telstra outage stopped trains. It shouldn’t have. A telecoms outage took out trains because the switch to the Telstra mobile network was poorly managed. This is what people mean when they talk about critical infrastructure. A train network shouldn’t depend on one fragile link behaving perfectly. The backup needs to be real. Tested. Able to fail over without someone discovering in the middle of an outage that the contingency plan was mostly a PDF and good intentions. Australia is wiring more of daily life into connected systems. Reliability is no longer an IT metric. It’s whether people can get home.

  @Netherby1866 @NikkiGemmell The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though

  @gjblue With about 180 new Appartmemts built less than 100mtrs from me in the past 10 years. Telstra bandwidth has failed. Telstra could not give a ****

  @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”

  @7NewsMelbourne But you still have to go with an Aus provider as they own the leases on the spectrum it uses and are the only ones to provide service in buildings and high density areas. Optus & Telstra already can provide sms via starlink with calls and data in a few years. So no - the major telcos are not under threat.

  @FinancialReview This is classic regulatory free riding. Why would anyone pay Telstra prices or why would Telstra keep investing billions in regional coverage if customers can buy the cheapest network then use Telstra whenever theirs fails? Emergency roaming makes sense. Forcing the company that built the better network to subsidise competitors who didn’t is how you eventually end up with nobody investing in the better network.

  Starlink Mobile (formerly Direct-to-Cell) is already live. About 650 satellites currently deliver text, location, and limited data/apps to unmodified LTE phones in dead zones via partners like T-Mobile (T-Satellite), Rogers, Telstra, KDDI and others across dozens of countries. Native high-speed 5G-level service and continuous global coverage (including poles) arrive with V2 satellites starting late 2027, targeting full planet by end of 2028 as per Grok.
