  @JoGu1802 It was because Optus no longer supported the iPhone 5 on its app that I upgraded. Because it’s DAMN hard to use the app to prepay for your phone when the app doesn’t… support your phone…

  @7NewsBrisbane Why doesn’t 000 have an alternative number as a backup run by? Maybe Optus or Tpg or Vodafone? How does a company or a business run with just one solution? 000 is incompetent.

  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

  Origin Energy just had 900,000 customers' data breached, joining Optus, Medibank, Qantas and DP World. We treat each as a one-off. A pattern this long stops being bad luck and starts being the cost of collecting data you can't protect. #CyberSecurity #DataBreach

  @EVERALDATLARGE Many have said their Telstra provider phone worked but not their Optus. I even saw one question regarding Vodafone. Is it a provider issue perhaps?

  @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?🤡

  @therevaknight Because of Government incompetence, they had no simple backup system, they made NO allowances for technological failure, complexity is the enemy of reliable; the reliability issue was known (ref previous OPTUS outage). NO REDUNDANCY for critical infrastructure! @heidimur
