Telstra CEO says external review finds network timing system caused July outage

On September 2, Telstra CEO Vicki Brady announced that an external review concluded a technical issue in the company's network timing system caused a major mobile outage in early July. The review found that incorrect date information, resulting from planned maintenance of the timing system, triggered the outage. Brady acknowledged that Telstra did not prioritize network timing as a critical capability, which contributed to delays in identifying the problem. While the company handled the recovery well, the report highlighted gaps in oversight and operational support for the timing system. Telstra has accepted the findings and plans to implement recommended changes without affecting its 2027 financial outlook.
