  @nswpolice A question. As modern phones support Sat for messages - mine switched to it - should we be pushing for configs that use Sat for 000 for these circumstances? This is a good time to push Telstra and Optus to look at it rather than fine them

  isn't this like the third major nationwide outage where "oh **** people couldn't even dial 000" from telstra and optus in like two years

  @NoticerNews Same reason for the recent Optus outage. This woke CEO & Labor government needs to swing.

  @jbulldogs4 Not really as its still ongoing. They told people to use a optus or vodafone device thats not Telstra. Thats some reliable service isnt it. Shouldn’t be happening but probably a overseas disgruntled workers!.

  @daytona7th @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup I have been to many soccer games at Optus stadium and its been great. They do preseason games there every year for big teams and its never been a bad watch.

  @JohnTheMaestro @Telstra No service australia wideThey are the qantas of communications in Aus. They own all infrastucture and lines, they just rent them out to Optus and other providers. Ive been telstra for 25 years, this is largest ive expereinced in that 25 years, not too bad.

  @oscarcsims @haydenmalc maybe it'll happen soon since outsourcing RAN management to cheaper vendors is all the rage in the telecom space right now (Spark just outsourced to Nokia, who was the vendor who was partially responsible for the last Optus 000 outage)

  @heidimur This isn’t just about Telstra. We saw similar issues with Optus. If our emergency communications and critical infrastructure are meant to be resilient, why do single network outages continue to have such widespread impacts? It’s time to review whether our redundancy is truly independent, or whether we’re relying on backups that share the same points of failure.

  A guy moved into a new apartment. Only “official” internet was FTTN NBN — $90/month for a pathetic 30 Mbps down max. He called Telstra and Optus. Both said “5G Fixed Wireless not available at your address.” He checked a cell tower map anyway. Half a dozen towers within a couple km. Bought a GL.iNet GL-X3000NR 5G router + built a DIY 4x4 MIMO LPDA external antenna. Result? 800 Mbps download / 170 Mbps upload. 25x faster. $75/month. Same building. Here’s exactly how he did it 🧵

  Optus Stadium has a drainage problem! ‘Players slipping over because of the pressure’ My ***! Can see the water splashing out beneath them. #AFLFreoSwans
