  @Optus are the worst telco on the planet. You’d think that after over 30 years of loyalty they’d be willing to negotiate a compromise and maybe even a little leniency to someone in financial hardship, but no. They don’t care. It’s all about the money. Stay away from @Optus

  @TweetTreet @tim_blee That's bullshit, devices EFTPOS and similar devices that run on 4G/5G can use other networks, and a bit of business continuity planning would have a backup network, even for a small business, like running down to Officeworks and buying an OPTUS prepaid SIM.

  @Woodygocats59 @TonyShepherd4 Didn't happen with the Optus outage. 000 was unavailable for hours and nobody including Optus seemed to know it was still unavailable. Learn from pervious failures champ. FFS, what plane was the communications minister on this time?

  @heidimur In WA Transporth uses Fibre that runs thought every station and Private Wireless (LTE/4.9G): Transperth doesn't use Telstra or Optus for train-to-ground data. They built a custom, secure wireless network with 160+ dedicated radio masts along the tracks using licensed spectrum.

  @AnikaWells Anika Wells has done it again. She let the aged care system down; now she’s let down her new Portfolio Communications. Optus first, now Telstra. She interrupted her holidays l wonder how much taxpayers paid for this holiday.

  @therevaknight Because of Government incompetence, they had no simple backup system, they made NO allowances for technological failure, complexity is the enemy of reliable; the reliability issue was known (ref previous OPTUS outage). NO REDUNDANCY for critical infrastructure! @heidimur

  @Naymmm_ @stupidtechtakes you said "**** optus they killed my Xiaomi 15 from connecting to optus networks" Which was what i was referring to... at no point did i attempt to make reference to the optus outage in my comment Which i thought was clear enough but

  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

  @FranMooMoo If a business or a surface does not have a backup alternative to everything then they are the problem. Thanks have backup lines maybe Telstra with primary Tpg with a backup. Same with 000. Might have the primary line with Telstra and a backup line with Optus or a WhatsApp #
