  @ILM126 Mo reason you can't have Optus and/or Vodafone service as a backup beside extra cost, through both still manage to **** up in their own way anyway.

  @strangerous10 And they pushed back at global roaming as well. Happens as a default in most countries. Would save a lot of problems if Telstra or Optus shared their networks when network problems arose with any communications provider in Australia 🇦🇺 @AlboMP

  '[CBA] suggested customers switch connections to an Optus network or local wi-fi source. '[Tyro] was aware some people were unable to connect to payment machines that operate on 4G networks'.

  @JacintaAllanMP We saw similar issues with Optus. There is supposed to be redundancy that allows emergency calls to be carried over any available mobile network. 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 backup systems that share the same points of failure.

  @Kate3015 Kate i think the Labor communication minister Anika Wells should be the one getting the kick up the arse because she was in charge when optus had their outage and said she was going to fix it obviously she hasn't

  @HaveeSnowball Actually, the infrastructure and technical side is still handled locally, only the CS is off-shored, but if you looked at the Optus situation involving the numerous problems caused by Singtel, you'd know Telstra is in a much better position to deal with these problems.

  Back when Optus went down I was a Telstra customer. I moved over to amaysim which is Optus, and now the Big T has gone down. #winning
