R.I.P. Patrick Stewart I met him once at a convention at his autograph booth. Jean-Luc Picard impacted a whole generation. I grew up with TNG. But he was so much more. I’m in shock. 😮😔

“Right In Two” Crazy. I was always so mesmerised by the guitar intro and forgot to stop to check the lyrics in detail. They make the song EVEN better. Brilliant. And so true. We humans are barbarians - never happy with what we have… open.spotify.com/track/0NLDZ… @Tool

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I purchased these tickets. 😮 #TheOdyssey web.imaxmelbourne.com.au/fil…

.@museband’s new album “The Wow! Signal” is out now, and it’s fantastic - as usual. Favourite song so far: “Cryogen” open.spotify.com/track/7vZ9v…

Can’t wait for what Colbert has in store for us.

This is what happens when you try to silence Stephen Colbert. He’s the absolute boss. Trump picked the wrong guy for a fight. 😂 youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4?si=D0Z5…

The world has gone absolutely insane. THE ROYAL POP IS NOT A LIMITED EDITION. Please don’t ever buy this anywhere else but in store. It’ll be readily available in three months time when the hype is over - just like it was with the #Moonswatch. #RoyalPop #Swatch #AP #collaboration

R.I.P. Chuck Norris 😔

If I wasn’t such a nice guy, I would expect an apology from the person who hung up on me.

But the Telstra staff was too busy letting me go through the script over and over again to make it look like I did something wrong or the fault is with me. Had they listened, they could’ve escalated it much sooner. You need to work on this, @Telstra.

After hours of white - green - white - green - orange - white - green - red - blue - white - green, the service seems to finally be back up. Guess what? None of it was my doing. It got fixed remotely, and that was EXACTLY what I was trying to say on the phone.

Why does your staff not acknowledge that I have done everything on my end to check my setup? Nothing has changed! And I had this issue before. Why can’t this be escalated to a specialist straight away? Instead, I have to spent hours to explain the same thing to 3 people.

Every time this happened before, Telstra acknowledged they were at fault. Why do I have to always have to jump through hoops to explain that I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY OF MY SETTINGS AT MY END AND THAT THERE WAS AN NBN OUTAGE THIS MORNING?

I basically have no internet now, and I don’t know when it will get fixed and how. It is a very frustrating experience. I don’t expect help via X. I only wanted to let you and others know that you need to improve your services. This is not acceptable.

Last time, they wanted to sent a technician, then cancelled the appointment as they found the issue and fixed it remotely. I strongly believe that this is the same issue. Your hotline really is not much help. It always sounds like the customer is at fault, not Telstra.

This is not a power supply issue as is always suggested. I had that issue and the light never turned green. I got a replacement power supply and everything has worked since. I was trying to tell the support staff that I had the exact same issue before.

My internet connection works OK for two minutes, then it loses connection to nbn (SmartModem shows white light), then it turns to green again, white, green, and so on.

I ended up talking to 3 people: 1. call was interrupted, I wasn’t called back. 2. person hung up after I refused to factory-reset my modem. I was understandably frustrated and upset. 3. person escalated the issue after I caved, reset my modem, and nothing changed.

Also, Occam’s Razor suggests it is connected to the previous nbn outage this morning, not to me making changes to my settings.
