  @Telstra finally re-connectied our internet—after a delay of 35 days (don’t ask)! Kudos to Harry in customer service who actually gave me his phone number so I could stay in touch and get regular updates. Very relieved for our guests.

  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.

  @QBCCIntegrity Mine didn't even go off. Telstra gave a warning about interruptions to the service where I was at work.

  @JakeBeer11 @OhappySt My telstra worked for this the first time outside of the small space it actually gets service here. Did it deliberately, and now I want to know what the actual **** Telstra ....

  @JasonClareMP How about using unsubstantiated, incorrect Sinophobic fear mongering to distract from the real reason for the Telstra blackout, like you and Barnaby Joyce did with your moronic suggestion of a link between China’s rocket test and the Telstra blackout.

  @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.

  @KutthroatSosa @nemagovau Pretty sure the old one only used Telstra network (as it was a licenced Telstra product). Maybe this one broadcasts on all, which would solve a lot of the distribution issue. And in an emergency, a few minutes can mean a lot.
