  @tiny_watermelon @Optus I just realised I didn't get an alert today either, while I was sleeping. Considering I'm a disabled pensioner that's a little concerning. In the days of landline phones, I was on a high-priority service. Maybe it's because I don't have a smartphone ? Goodness knows.

  @Sharkies2035 Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your poor experience with Optus' prepaid plans. We'd like the opportunity to turn this around for you. Please send us a Direct Message with more information so that we can investigate further. -San

  @Democracy_Duck @ABCmediawatch Are you suggesting giving the network back to public ownership? To an organisation like NBN where rejects from Telstra & Optus go to work? (Including Telstra's so-called risk management 'experts' BTW) With ACMA keeping an eye on things?

  @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

  @Telstra What a disgrace that each Telstra customer has to individually apply for compensation for the outages last week. Really shows what you think of your customers. Just provide free data like Optus did you scabs. Pathetic 😡 #telstra #telstraoutage

  @Optus Thanks, but that doesn’t address what actually happened. I was in the emergency broadcast area with a compatible device. There was no Optus coverage, but there was coverage from another network. Despite that, I never received the AusAlert. If emergency alerts can’t be delivered when your carrier is unavailable, even though another network is in range, that’s a significant issue. In an emergency, people shouldn’t miss life-saving warnings because of which carrier they’re with. Can you clarify whether AusAlerts are expected to be delivered in this scenario, or is this a limitation of the current system?

  @robertveneziano @VoteLewko Incorrect ARTC handles Standard Gauge in AUS... Whist @VicTrack_Vic handles Broad gauge in VIC. But all should not rely on only one telco provider...the ICE radio are linked to Telstra! But optus has gone down too 2 years ago with the same result!

  @roodave didn't Metro in Melbourne get hit by an Optus outage a couple of years back?
