  @Telstra This tweet brought to you by me piggy backing off my Optus phones fully functional mobile network data. Eftpos machines are unable to do this. So any work around has to come from Telstra or I have to get the bank to change to Optus.

  @YoiksAndAway @Optus @Telstra Absolutely. Management that place personal greed above service should not be in service industries, and those who endanger lives for personal gain should not be at liberty.

  @MelbOnTransit @Urban_Immerser Why don't V/line use a back up telco provider beside telstra? So if one goes down they got some form of commication. V/Line should back up Telstra with Optus in case on goes out!

  @MiddleMoney @aussiewongm @Anneeokeefe I'm pretty sure Metro went down during the Optus outages last year. But restoration time was quicker iirc.

  The Optus Stadium surface is simply the worst; it’s worse than those arena shows that do Disney on Ice

  @heidimur This isn’t just about Telstra. We saw similar issues with Optus. If our emergency communications and critical infrastructure are meant to be resilient, why do single network outages continue to have such widespread impacts? It’s time to review whether our redundancy is truly independent, or whether we’re relying on backups that share the same points of failure.

  @VoteLewko On my mates farm in the coast they have redundancy (Starlink) & anothet mate who runs ASIC’s infrastructure says they have always had both Telstra & Optus to try & avoid over reliance on a single network. So if farmers & some federal bureaucrats know this why don’t Victoria’s?🤡

  @BinManIan Even if we were to propose the oval stadiums, the AFL is too greedy and has too much influence, they'll never allow the use of the MCG, Adelaide Oval and Optus Stadium for a month

  @Woodygocats59 @TonyShepherd4 Once again I refer you back to the Optus outage where everybody including the government and Optus thought the 000 service was functioning but it was found to still be out of action several hours later. And the government minister was AWOL again. A couple of hours can save lives.
