  @andrewrdn463 Put a woman in charge of a company like Telstra and Optus and you can be sure they will **** it up.

  @keating01 Isn’t OPTUS & Telstra’s outage breakdown a strong reason NOT TO go digital on everything under one system of Government control? How many different services went out - not just 000? Can’t bank, buy petrol, grocery, use your card! EVEN WORSE is if we have a power supply outage!

  @OMGTheMess It only happened recently with Optus. Anika Wells didn’t fix it, did she?

  @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.

  @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup MCG, Optus and Adelaide are Ovals and non starters. Cake Tin would and should be knocked down to expand. Given cricket isn't played there it would be rectangular, By 2042 Stadium Australia will have been rebuilt Perth should have a 40k rectangular Hopefully expanded Coopers

  @OperationalInc1 at a very minimum you should need both Telstra *and* Optus to go down, no?

  @matt_barrie @van00sa And the Optus network went down right after Albanese visited Beijing in November 2023.
