  @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.

  @nswpolice A question. As modern phones support Sat for messages - mine switched to it - should we be pushing for configs that use Sat for 000 for these circumstances? This is a good time to push Telstra and Optus to look at it rather than fine them

  @ianclarkeAU If you have a business you need both, they never go down at the same time. This was the case with Optus and Telstra cable networks decades ago, if you had both and a firewall/router that handled either bridging or failover you were never off line. Mind you Telstra did get nasty in the early days because their billing system was lazy so you could send packets out on one service and pull down data on the other thus avoiding usage fees. 🤓

  @Cjsavage696969 @KatieGrace2022 Optus could not cancel the services i wanted to cancel for 2 and half years but could send me a letter telling me small plan goes up by $9 this month. I disconnected 2 services that day due to inept staff and liers. Never composated either!.

  I just received a txt from @Optus saying they are upgrading the network and I may experience some disruption. Given the @Telstra outage, they should really reconsider this.

  @DAM01983 @Optus Haveing the same problem they need to fix all their services I barely have phone coverage at all anywhere it just cuts down and says no service and the Internet is ridiculous dropping out all the time they find people up they can't maintain a service

  @levied @Optus @Starlink I had the same issue several years ago now, if they're still doing this ****** tactic it might be worth lodging a complaint with the ombudsman.
