  @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

  @Lisa9Sophia And the internet is the worst ever. It’s intermittent and at night goes off for hours. I’m looking at dropping Telstra after 40 years. Going pre paid and getting STARLINK.

  @folaoftech @Telstra How a single NTP rack server brings down an entire network.

  @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.

  @FetchStep Haven't watched myself yet but have #Telstra actually conceded the Time Sync function -- upon which the entire national mobile network critically depends -- relies on a SINGLE decades old piece of electronics? Really? Hard to believe such incompetence (bad judgment) is possible.

  @strangerous10 Telstra had a risk assessment signed off by the PM which said mitigations in place to isolate any faults, which were unlikely, & consequences was rated low. This meant the expenditure could be deferred. It was not a technical or a people problem. It was a pass the buck problem.

  'It also sent a big button phone, powered by a SIM card; however, Mr Gaisford said without a reliable Telstra signal in his area, it has not been able to work.
