  @FranMooMoo This is clearly far more important than the Telstra network being down for hours. Or anything else that might improve Australia.

  @MsMountebank Time to decimate overly generous executive pay. Again with #Origin, #Telstra, a known 'cheap' fix, with the impacts borne by customers. If they can't do their jobs don't pay them. Prices for both sectors ratcheted up regularly, even now during a cost of living crisis #auspol

  @telstra Since I havent had an answer back from you yet I will ask again. Why am I "blocked from making an o/seas call because I am on a prepaid plan"? Since when? More so since your prices are going up YET AGAIN why am I being charged more for less service?

  @AllBiteNoBark88 Don't worry the telstra network will probably collapse under the strain ?

  Slow clap @Telstra with your #AusAlert @nemagovau Standing within eyesight of a tower and it took 6 min 55 to come through after everyone nearby on other networks got it. 7 minutes of delay means this is not fit for purpose. Your incompetence is proof this isn't a conspiracy.

  BREAKING: Telstra is looking to Starlink as a backup solution for emergency communications. • Following its nationwide outage, Telstra says Starlink satellite messaging could help people in areas without mobile coverage. • Users would be able to text a friend or family member via Starlink, who could then call Australia's Triple Zero emergency service on their behalf. • Direct texting to Triple Zero is not yet available. Starlink is becoming an increasingly important part of emergency connectivity in Australia.

  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.
