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

  @Bigly20 @Caitlen2310 The Guardian asks why hasn't the government acted on regulations since the Optus outage last year? I ask what did the Coalition do about regulations after the Telstra outages in 2016 & 2018? What private discussions and/or guarantees did they obtain from Telstra after those events? In 2018 Triple Zero calls dropped out across 5 states for 10 hours. If it were so simple why didn't the Coalition insist on Telstra installing back up systems? Maybe we need a Royal Commission (joke).

  After signing up with the @Optus deal through flybuys on May 25 I was told there was a technical error on their side, and that they couldn't process my order until July 1? I have never had a more incompetent, pathetic and disgraceful experience.

  @7_columns @Andrew_McCallum If you listened to her, the government mandated after the Optus issue, that with emergencies, the people using the network that is down, should be switched to a working network. She said she wanted to test that her phone went to Optus if Telstra didn’t work. It didn’t, and that is important.

  @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.

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

  @PGJohnson77 @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup Adelaide Oval and Optus are fine because AO is narrow and Optus has raised seats. Agree that the MCG is a very poor viewing experience.

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

  @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
