  @ILM126 Mo reason you can't have Optus and/or Vodafone service as a backup beside extra cost, through both still manage to **** up in their own way anyway.

  @Cazzawhy @TigerAncient @SenSHenderson It’s also important that an opposition member of parliament can hold an MP accountable and be aware of lack of access to emergency services to the public in which they serve. Remembering what happened to Optus when people died as a result of losing the same access that was lost yesterday.

  One Telstra glitch this morning and half the country stopped working. Some clocks fell out of sync across a few network nodes at 4:30am and that was enough to ground every regional train in Victoria, suspend lines in NSW, knock out payments for small businesses, stop freight, and some 000 calls weren’t getting through. Boost, Aldi Mobile and Belong all run on Telstra’s network so their customers went down too. 25 million services are on this network. They don’t know the root cause yet. Optus went down for 14 hours last year and 2 people died when emergency calls couldn’t connect, now it’s Telstra’s turn. This is the infrastructure they want your ID, your payments and your entire life running through.

  @GregNordo @AllBiteNoBark88 I just had another go with Optus. Literally no internet during peak hrs. Their NBN is unbelievably bad, even my business plan was dropping out 20 times a day. Aldi it is.....

  @SkyNewsAust CEO return won't fix the problem - the Engineers are the important focus group whose expertise is critical to restore services [certainly earning their annual salary now -bonuses? "poof!" One imagines Optus satellite services in hot demand

  @OMGTheMess She was supposed to implement a new BCP after the Optus outage. What are we paying her to do? Other than drink champagne on her business class flights? What has she actually achieved? Does anyone know?

  @Birdsperch Clearly no contingency for terrestrial fail [all eggs in one basket] even with satellite backup downlink distribution relies on terrestrial bearers (circuits), Even Optus with satellite support incorporates terrestrial distribution -Contingency planning is key & costs money

  What an absolute joke from Telstra today. Changed companies to them from Optus over their outage a few years ago and it still happens. Had no connection all morning.

  @clarkes signing that deal last year for tpg to operate over Optus networks in regional areas. So that's good. We need to come up with a way for network failovers when these incidents happen. But it's tricky... if the biggest operator goes down, how would this work in practice.
