    @Telstra may I just say how frustrating it is to accomplish simple tasks via your silly chat system in the app, a simple messagebank change should not take 2 months of waiting days for a reply, then when I reply being kicked back to the bot! Fix it or answer calls! #TelstrFail

    @abcnews So my experience using IIG was a dream, just dealing with Telstra in the lead up was a horror and why I am no longer their customer.

    @mig_loren @bencmorrison I have my iPhone and iPad on Telstra SIM with shared data.255gb shared. It's come down over the years but the convenience of an esim when travelling is pretty cool. Still expensive if you just use the Apple provider interface.

    @jriewolod @Telstra You can contact OPAN Older person’s advocacy Network for free advice and support to get justice and a full refund. The Australian Competition Consumer Commission ACCC can also assist with unfair contacts that over promise and under deliver on contractual agreements. 1800 700 600

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    @Kate3015 Aussies are being fleeced, these comms companies compared to everywhere else in the world take Aussies to the cleaners. For the entire network to fail would suggest a complete & utter rebuild of Telstra is required urgently, from the very top down. #Telstra #Auspol #Optus

  • keltra68
    Matthew Walker (@keltra68) reported

    @RoadknightThe I don’t think Telstra deliberately sabotaged their network. Human error , faulty equipment etc will always happen.

  • GiantMinority
    MassiveMinority (@GiantMinority) reported

    @QBCCIntegrity @Telstra They haven't given all of the details, but you can get a tier-1 time signal from GNSS, but also your own hosted atomic time source. From what I can understand, the failure was on their NTP distribution layer (stratum 1). So that opens up a range of failure options.

    @business one Telstra outage and entire regional rail networks go dark. that's a single point of failure nobody modeled properly

  • tonyretardio_
    It’s Antonio to you (@tonyretardio_) reported

    @MaxRock222 @heidimur Because only the Telstra network has reach outside of cities

    @MitchEllis67 Is that due to the Telstra outage?

  • JohnP1505
    john p (@JohnP1505) reported

    @BilsonhBilson Telstra has said it was a “software issue”. Make of that what you want

  • Yebbil13
    🇦🇺Libbey🇦🇺 (@Yebbil13) reported

    @Sandy_Beech1 @MLHuitt @theheraldsun Australian law criminalizes non-emergency 000 calls with penalties up to 3 years imprisonment, yet Henderson refuses to apologize, claiming no breach occurred; Telstra noted some failed emergency calls and urged against testing. She absolutely DID break the law.

  • Ayyyyybeeeee
    Arthur Barrett (@Ayyyyybeeeee) reported

    Here in Australia we’ve got the semi-annual hand wringing over cellular carriers and emergency calls - is it time to ditch SS7 for VoIP/SIP and switch from single operator SIM from Telstra/Optus to multi-operator SIM like SimBase or ThingsMobile?

  • StMaryMacKiller
    St Mary MacKiller (@StMaryMacKiller) reported

    The Telstra outage is fascinating because I live in a bad spot, with consistently terrible coverage, yet we didn’t lose it at all. So weird.
