  @MattSmith_567 the worst era without doubt was the early 2000s - first there was Stadium Australia (now Accor) and Aussie Stadium (now Allianz) Then of course there was Telstra Stadium (also now Accor) and Telstra Dome (now Marvel)

  @Telstra @AnikaWells When customers have issues/questions requiring clarification regarding their Telstra plans (formerly owned by Aust Govt!) why are we still being sent to international call centres???

  @mar790032894313 @JoshButler 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

  @Terri_1987a @SupportPauline Agreed. 12. Eastern seaboard states. 3 x 4 APR 1400's. Problem is raising private capital, so...Commonwealth finances them; Koreans manage the build because they know WTF they are doing. Then IPO it, float it like um...Telstra. But market cap @ 35%. No more cartel bullshit.

  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.

  @Telstra offered to upgrade my Internet. Apparently 5x the speed. Same cost. Same plan. Sounded like a good deal so I said yes. After about 5 pointless and painful discussions I shut down the process. I’m going to @Starlink with my 5G phones service for back up. They make it easy.

  @cb_doge I speak for all of Australia. Bypass Telstra entirely and deliver the service directly. It would be the largest onboarding event ever seen.

  @lagoonki Incidentally, while I was taking my pic on the Yorke, my phone was operating on the signal from the Telstra tower on Kangaroo Island, it's so close.

  @nemagovau If i receive the alert on the phones i had to replace because they couldn't call one number on one network that i don't use, "000" on Voda network. Then i want those phones imei numbers reinstated on the Telstra & Optus, that i have sims for. The public/private partnership scam
