  @Telstra Business your service is unbelievably hopeless... Your staff are unable to pull up my account despite giving them a name, account, address, phone number! We were about to order two new phones but will go elsewhere #telstrabusinessfail

  @lachiemc64 I’m told we’ve no choice now FRAUDBAND is in our area. So much for lnp’s free market bullshit. Only when it suits their greedy parasitic mates. ADSL, though slow, never drops out although I note Telstra will still charge like the “Light Brigade” to fix the loose copper to my home

  @maximumwelfare You can just write or do whatever you want it’s not like anyone gives a **** these days. Nobody cares about their job, whether that be at Telstra or someone that’s supposed to regulate them.

  @Telstra You don't even explain what you did? That is NOT taking responsibility, just saying SORRY, OOPS, is NOT responsibility. What was the CAUSE of the bad firmware time stamp? Ai ? Outsourcing to India ? Outsourcing to India where they used Ai?

  @Telstra Why not tell the whole truth though? You failed to update or replace hardware that was providing ntp to your network for years past eol and your network died because of it. That's just sheer negligence.

  @Telstra Your network up time is commendable. All the experts here in the comments don’t understand the complexity and that sometimes mistakes happen.

  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?

  @Telstra down again?

  @GoodyPunch @BilsonhBilson Who, Telstra or the government? If the latter, that is a ridicoulos claim. Selling it holus bolus was probably a really bad idea in the first place. Guess which government did that over 25 years ago.
