  @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.

  Good. It took me 20 minutes to cancel my @Optus 5G for no reason other than they want to make it difficult

  @VoteLewko @Starlink It's about time for Optus and Telstra to go down the drain. Some of the worst and scammiest Australian companies. They charge you an arm and a leg for something that never works.

  @Kate3015 Aussies are being fleeced, these comms companies compared to everywhere else in the world take Aussies to the cleaners. For the entire network to fail would suggest a complete & utter rebuild of Telstra is required urgently, from the very top down. #Telstra #Auspol #Optus

  @matt_barrie @van00sa And Optus went down right after Albanese visited Beijing in July last year.

  @OneNewsAu Optus and Telstra are playing with fire here. Their customer base will become open slather to Starlink’s future plans over time. They’d be better off partnering with a company like AST SpaceMobile if they want to be around for a while.

  @oscarcsims @haydenmalc maybe it'll happen soon since outsourcing RAN management to cheaper vendors is all the rage in the telecom space right now (Spark just outsourced to Nokia, who was the vendor who was partially responsible for the last Optus 000 outage)

  @FranMooMoo Starlink and Optus have entered a partnership"Direct to Cell" technology to Australia. Rather than Starlink launching its own separate mobile carrier service to compete with Optus, the service is designed to be integrated into existing Optus plans

  @FranMooMoo @diggerdeegs I left Optus about 12mths ago and joined Starlink... should have done well before. Love Starlink and have an Aldi mobile plan... Will there in an instant if Starlink start a mobile phone service.

  @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.
