  So we have another outage impacting 000 calls in Australia, this time by Telstra. This has already happened with Optus twice if I recall. Enough is enough. Renationalise Telstra and Optus, and give them all the funding needed to maintain, develop and expand our telecommunications infrastructure across Australia in the interests of the people rather than private and foreign shareholders. #auspol

  @FranMooMoo If a business or a surface does not have a backup alternative to everything then they are the problem. Thanks have backup lines maybe Telstra with primary Tpg with a backup. Same with 000. Might have the primary line with Telstra and a backup line with Optus or a WhatsApp #

  @jmil400 Where was the communications minister moron? Some one needed to step up and actually test it! Not like the the bungled Optus uggrade where the 000 outage went unnoticed for hours. Smart and proactive! Not something you Labtards would know anything about

  @BusyTonn Somewhat true. Telecom never had a FTTP plan, but CBDs did have Telstra fibre in the 1990s (after Optus started).

  @FranMooMoo I wonder if his satellites can be used for mobile phone network? Mobile phone calls and text messages don't use much bandwidth unlike the internet, if he were to somehow make phones and they worked everywhere even in the desert Telstra Vodaphone, and Optus would go bust

  @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

  @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup AFL stadiums are not built to support football, I’d take Optus, Adelaide Oval and the MCG off the list! Probably one of the reasons we have never won a World Cup

  How many times in the past 3 years have telecommication services in Australia been disrupted? #Telstra #Optus More evidence which strongly suggests Telstra and Optus aren't up to it. Lack of investment in infrastructure? #StarLink is winning more customers because of these lack lustre telcos. Telstra has suffered an outage that disrupted calls, mobile data and some Triple Zero calls across the country after reports of the problem emerged on Wednesday morning. The telecommunications company, which has apologised to its customers, has said its CEO Vicki Brady was on annual leave.
