  @techAU I attended a conference where the head of the Australian Signal Directorate gave an overview of Cybersecurity risks. He noted circa >64k known vulnerabilities. I wouldn’t wait for it to become a headline… I will be removing all TP-Link, Netgear (Telstra smart modem) from service in my home. Roborock vacuum will need a replacement too, I am looking for a suggestion on that front.

  @ChefTom1985 @CatherineD42535 Well privatized infrastructure either needs to be public or heavily regulated so we don’t see the over 160% price markup we do with Telstra. Cost per user wired+wireless service is between $35-$45/month and that’s including R&D- no profit.

  @hichaelmart I run my own custom ICE server on a digital ocean droplet 160ms away. It also pointlessly runs TURN (coturn), I am thinking of swapping the TURN fallback to Cloudflare, cause at this point falling back to TURN gives me nothing, I can just use HTTPS direct. STUN though (managed via Googles free service) is really impressive, even on my Telstra mobile network in Australia.

  🇦🇺Australia: @Starlink To Benefit From Telstra’s Dodgy Size Claims Industry data indicates strong growth in Starlink uptake, with retailers reporting a surge in demand and the service’s customer base in Australia doubling in 2025. One in five rural households that switched providers last year chose Starlink, according to market estimates. The shift reflects growing frustration among regional consumers, some of whom say Starlink offers more reliable performance at a lower cost than traditional telco plans. Telstra will be forced to cut back its advertised network coverage by around 1 million square km's following a regulatory crackdown on what the federal government has described as a “mess” of inconsistent and potentially misleading industry claims. Under new rules announced by Communications Minister Anika Wells, telcos must adopt stricter standards for how mobile coverage is measured and marketed—changes that directly impact Telstra, long known for promoting the scale of its network. The revisions will require the removal of an area roughly the size of New South Wales from Telstra’s coverage maps, raising questions about how accurately Australians have been informed about service availability, particularly in regional and remote areas. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will introduce a new four-tier system—Good, Moderate, Basic and No Coverage—based on whether a standard mobile phone can deliver a usable service, rather than simply detecting a signal.

  And Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(

  @Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Why did she switch? Aren’t Southern under Telstra, the problems would be the same. With all the issues I had with them at work and home I dumped them 34 years ago. They still think they’re a monopoly.

  Phone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia

  @RayJCapo79 I got eSIM when I changed over to Woolworths Mobile last week. Just need to ensure you turn off the Telstra Sim or it will keep looking for it and your battery power goes down hill. Was easy as to set up.
