  @Telstra BOTS ARE NOT THE ANSWER! I applied to Telstra to establish a broadband at my new address before December 5! I now a month later have a house full of teenagers in a rainy day and no ******* internet! Why can Optus or vodaphone provide fast service, and Telstra not?

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

  Update 5. Annnddd we're done. "Glad we've been able to help you. This case is now resolved" So, if you are hearing impaired you are not welcome at Optus ... they will only help you if you can speak on the phone. Disgraceful in this day and age @Optus. @Vodafone, here I come!

  First optus, now telstra had a global outage, seems legit i guess, paves the way for a global network blackout if need, cause look how well that went. Chaos

  @simonbiddle @taipan168 As much as I defend funding government services, the notion that government run IT will be more reliable than Telstra/Optus is just not believable given the various IT issues we see on a constant basis from Centrelink and who can forget the debacle of the last Census

  @GenVavancee Given the time the outage happened it probably was some form of maintenance and a routing error happened. They happen all the time but much like Optus this was a big one.

  @externallylaws Can confirm the outage impacted the wilds of NT - where there is no Optus service.

  @OneNewsAu optus announced the partnership with starlink on July 12 2023 and telstra announced it on July 3rd 2023, Telstra starlink messaging started June 3 2025 optus? well nothing. "covers blackspots telstra never will" that might make sense if telstra also didn't get starlink messaging

  If you only have one SIM it sucks to be you. I have 4. Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and a French SIM from Free. So I’m never without service.

  @Starlink And while Optus and Vodafone service this area - proving how much Telstra really sucks - they both lose signal only several kilometers further out of the CBD, meaning that they also suck. These are the only three networks here. All other carriers buy access from these three.

  Optus stadium turf has been shockingly bad lately. Players slipping everywhere as that top layer is shifting too easily, reckon we’ll see an injury soon
