  @dmccann65 @Ballyurra @slsandpet Thanks for the NBN rant, I’m well aware of its shortcomings.. but she asked for an alternative provider since Telstra are refusing to help her perform any troubleshooting. Superloop will help her with this

  Telstra customers who were affected by the widespread outage last week will be able to apply for compensation. The incident left millions of Australians without phone coverage, halted public transport services and impacted digital payments at businesses. The telco’s CFO said customers will have to provide clear evidence of their loss and an estimated claim amount, which will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

  @Telstra When do we receive compensation. Will there be a credit on the next bill for the outage ?

  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?

  It was all the go in the 1980s to make up for the inflation created by the Vietnam War and the abrupt increase in oil prices. That’s when we got the economic rationalists - tax cuts for the rich, razor gangs for everyone else. Welfare and public service cuts, deregulation of banks and privatisation. Back story is interesting - same folks at work behind the scenes. Yes, GDP went up, but wealth only flowed to the top end. At least Labor under pressure, only semi privatised Telstra and retained controlling shares. Qantas was different. Comm Bank should have at least mostly stayed public -my Mum only had a chance at getting a house because of it, but if we add in subsidies and failures, it has largely cost taxpayers far more and not just financially. It did however, enable operators and shareholders to get rich.

  @strangerous10 @AlanJMitchell_ Yep. And Canberra complaining about the privatised Telstra is like me selling someone a second-hand car and hitching about what the new owners did with it. I’m serious. And we should surely have enough computing power to know now how the sharemarket dabbling went for those “battlers” who bought Telstra shares as encouraged by the privatising PM John Howard. After taxes, accountants, inflation, fees & Telstra’s bad (or deliberate?) policy choices around the National Broadband Network, my guess would be: not that well. And speaking of the NBN, remember the smart nodding and talking heads saying we wouldn’t need this much capacity etc. Be a few archived interviews from that era that will not have aged well. The same equation repeats throughout history. 1. “This is ridiculous” 2. “It has some uses” 3. “We’ve always supported this! What are you talking about.” Progress moves by the death of generations, as much as by technology. My parents hated ATMs. Didn’t trust them. I don’t trust the thing I’m writing this on. Children now will one day look back on such antiquated things as hand-held devices and “wonder how people used something so clumsy”. Etc

  @Telstra Maybe try employing some Australians. Every Telstra office I have been into is 99% Indian, not saying that is what caused the problem but also I'm saying that it couldn't have helped.
