  @Naymmm_ @stupidtechtakes *actually the governments fault for whatever stupid reason, they forced Telstra/TPG/Optus to do these blanket bans on VoLTE capable devices if they weren’t sold locally for whatever reason

  @twensor @FetchStep sadly its totally on form for telstra. remember when a small fire in their chatswood building took out the national SMS network. where i live telstra, nbn, optus and vodafone are all on a 4 hour battery backup, while essential energy schedules regular 8 hour outages.

  I’m wondering if Telstra Optus etc will cope on Monday 27th when all the emergency services etc are planned to be delivered to phones

  @hardenuppete @originenergy They should be forced to pay for credit tracking for each customer that has had their account hacked for 12 months like Optus had to with Equifax.

  @Sharkies2035 Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your poor experience with Optus' prepaid plans. We'd like the opportunity to turn this around for you. Please send us a Direct Message with more information so that we can investigate further. -San

  @strangerous10 The Optus CEO fell on her sword after their nationwide outage a couple of years ago. The Telstra head might go the same way. What were they thinking, laziness, or just penny-pinching.

  We need the telco to learn #auspol but as an Optus customer .who has seen it before, what happens hear? Zero cash for us, but the Optus bill goes up to cover this pay out to lawyers and a few who could afford them. Same as the mob who are suing Coles. Pays lawyers and a few and we all pay the price in the new prices, not Optus or Coles

  Why is it the USA can communicate with a space ship circulating the moon but Australia has such a hard job communicating with a ******* train just around the corner.. Because of this useless waste of space Anita Wells…. WHY is Australia STILL relying on just a single network for the train networks and 000 and a host of so many essential infrastructure ?? WHY hasn’t our government, especially after the Optus outages just changed the laws to the filthy rich telecommunications companies that they have to combine both networks together for things of major importance to the running of the country ?? 000 and train networks. You want a communications licence… fix the bloody thing so at least BOTH Telstra and Optus are both responsible for the safety of Australia and every Australian.. @AngusTaylorMP @PaulineHansonOz
