  @ReutersTech Are @Telstra suggesting that all 3 network time servers were/are hosted in the same physical chassis? Seems fundamentally flawed? Also, do they not continually scan for vulnerabilities and end of service? @sarahinthesen8 something sounds fishy.

  @Offerandextend @Wolfie__Bear @Telstra So did everything go smoothly? Did the world collapse because you couldn't call your midwife as soon as you went into labour? Or did you just need to get your main character syndrome fix?

  @crankyanni You do understand a network the size of Australia cannot simply be turned off and rebooted ! The complexity of so many outdated and incompatible software programs interacting is very problematic ! What happened with telstra will happen again ! The whole system needs a rebuild !

  @Telstra Talk is cheap. At the very least, provide a refund for the days where you didn’t provide service.

  Telstra are the Great and Powerful Oz in the Wizard of Oz, who when you pull away the curtain, is a conman Telstra just admitted to using the crowdsourced outage report website DownDetector when their system fails Does that make sense? So Telstra are a $54 BILLION company who rely on crowdfunding to protect Australians access to emergency services So people’s lives are at risk and they are urgently calling 000 while Telstra executives are checking DownDetector. The CEO is paid $7 million+ a year and this is the result. Telstra HQ:

  @peterke60628957 @FetchStep Telstra is a privatised cash cow. The executives see their job as maximising shareholder returns. Cheaper to fix/replace after it breaks rather than expensive preventative maintenance or eliminating all single points of failure. Profit first, customers last, every single time.

  Breaking: Telstra has admitted in Estimates they were repeatedly warned since 2022 by the software manufacturer that their outage-causing software was out of date inc a reminder early 2026, & Telstra even discovered a “fault” with it themselves in Oct 2025, but still did nothing

  @WandaNightOwl Ouch on the journey time! I feel you though, they’re great until they’re not. Hope you didn’t get stuck with the Telstra outage last week too 😬
