  @Telstra has the worst customer service. “To stop the harassment of your 83 yo father in a Nursing Home we need to write up an official complaint otherwise it will be never ending”

  @Telstra I shouldn’t have to. I’m paying a premium for a subpar service. I have reported it to you now you can investigate it and fix it!!

  F@£k you @Telstra never EVER have I had service this poor..I hope my contract is almost done so I can take every thing I own FAR away from it. When someone says ‘we’ve booked a technician for you and this ones for real’ you know you’re dealing with an unprofessional company.

  @Telstra Wow well done. Then page you sent to me onto tells me there’s no issue with the service yet clearly there is as I’m sitting at home 1.9km from a Telstra tower and I have 1 bar of signal strength on a iPhone 12. Good work #timetoleavetelstra

  @Telstra No, I don’t have the app. My Telstra service is via JB Hifi Mobile, so I don’t know if that makes a difference? Can I access it? But this email came directly from Telstra.

  @Batman2242 I remember before Telstra (telecom) at the time was privatised, phone calls and line rental was expensive. Since the phone network was opened up and privatised phone deals are way cheaper

  My predictions for the nationwide Ausalert test today at 2PM AEST. 1) Drivers whose mobile phone goes berzerk cop a $423 fine and 5 demerit points. 2) School teachers bust students who've been handing in a burner phone every morning before school. 3) Matinee session of The Odyssey interrupted causing mass rush to the toilets. 4) Spies, TV and Radio broadcasters learn the difference between mute and off when their career detonates faster than a Hezbollah pager. 5) Telstra network engineers clench hard.

  @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.

  Melbourne, Aust: Has anybody else who is with Telstra (or Boost or ALDI mobile, etc) had calls going silent mid call and having to hang up and call again? Only started yesterday. Not just me .. two other people I know. Have lodged a complaint with @Telstra and waiting.

  There has been no fresh commercial announcement between $ASTS and Telstra (ASX:TLS), although Telstra now appears on the AST website! Still, these numbers from Telstra’s current $SPCX Starlink-powered satellite service are pretty interesting: 26m+ satellite texts sent or received. 2.9m+ customers connected at least once. 200k+ connections per day, up from 80k at launch. Weekends and holidays are the busiest periods. Telstra has around 24.9m retail mobile and device services, so roughly 12% of its entire base has already connected via satellite in just 13 months. Australia itself only has a population of around 28m. Obviously this is Starlink, not ASTS, and these are users rather than paying satellite subscribers. But the bullish read-through is pretty clear. Theres obviously an announcement Incoming and demand for direct-to-device connectivity is not theoretical, even in a relatively small country with strong existing mobile coverage. If other regions see anything close to the same adoption, the potential usage across AST’s 3b+ partner subscriber base becomes pretty ridiculous.

  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.

  @BudgetDude if you know the org chart of Telstra you'd find that would be a terrible approch but I get what you mean. I think the approach required if to rewind the history of decision making re. "why wasn't that NPT server upgraded" (or all of them) and that ecosystem of humans get fired.
