  @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.

  @Telstra what am I supposed to do if I have been unable to redeem/use Telstra Plus points for two years? Customer Support, a complaint case, and the then head of Telstra Plus (G. Vella) all unable to help or fix. I just want to use my points…

  @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.

  Ookla: DIRECT-TO-DEVICE COMES OF AGE IN ASIA PACIFIC 🛰📲 Satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service, which enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites in areas lacking terrestrial coverage, is expanding rapidly across the Asia Pacific region. The region’s first carrier-run nationwide satellite texting service launched with New Zealand’s One NZ in December 2024. By mid-2026, six Starlink-based commercial services operated across four markets: One NZ, Telstra (Australia), KDDI/SoftBank/NTT Docomo (Japan), and Globe (Philippines, launched June 2026) Australia and New Zealand showed the highest activity. Detected users averaged 25.7 and 23.0 scans per month (Jan–Jun 2026)—near daily contact. Usage rose through the southern warm season (peaking in April) and fell in winter, reflecting outdoor recreation and remote work in coverage gaps. These levels far exceed denser markets like the UK (~4 scans/month) and match Canada’s high reliance. Philippines held the region’s largest detected D2D base (64% in Q2 2026), with activity detected from January 2026—months before commercial launch. Pre-launch growth reflected testing and opportunistic registrations. Population scale and disaster needs (e.g., earthquakes, ~20 tropical cyclones yearly) drive demand; Globe offered free access during a June 2026 Mindanao quake. Per-capita and frequency of use remained lower than Australia’s. Japan has the broadest free access (three operators) yet lowest sustained use. Detected base in June 2026 was about half its July 2025 level; users averaged only 7.6 scans/month. High urbanization and >99.9% population terrestrial coverage limit exposure to gaps. Operator figures (e.g., Docomo’s 5 million connected users) are higher but measure one-time connections across iOS/Android. Services function mainly as retention tools.

  @LaurieK2014408 @blowingtom2 Yeah, in Australia, telephone booths, for to hold big One Nation public meetings are getting harder and harder to find - and when they do - they taken up by welfare cheating, machete welding, immigrant masses who don't speak English. Albanese should never have privatised Telstra.

  @KatyKray73 In the event of a global war, data centres will be prioriy targets for bombs, missiles, and emp nukes, because.... These data centres will control everything. Ffs, telstra and optus outages caused enough disruption, imagine a total testra and optus blackout, multiply that by 100

  @RoadknightThe Yes but no even text message ping let alone some type of alarm they where carrying on about. My personal I pad and my work I pad both with cellular connections with Telstra never received a text at all or picked up on my phone receiving the message but no alarm. My Fitbit that gets all my texts didn’t get the text.

  @VibewireCentral Great to see the reasons why @Telstra network failed. More money to shareholders other than into the network. #auspol

  We were shown how the NSA have packet capture devices on all fibre network pipe routers. Telstra use one also to mass scoop traffic. For later decryption with Quantum computers they already have. Mobile is remotely hackable by design ! CIA tech for subliminal mind control.
