  So - @NBN_Australia cut off home phone when attempting to install but can’t complete job, and now @Optus have cancelled my ADSL account. Neither are particularly helping (blaming each other) so I guess it’s the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman to assist! Been a horrid 24hrs

  Why is it the USA can communicate with a space ship circulating the moon but Australia has such a hard job communicating with a ******* train just around the corner.. Because of this useless waste of space Anita Wells…. WHY is Australia STILL relying on just a single network for the train networks and 000 and a host of so many essential infrastructure ?? WHY hasn’t our government, especially after the Optus outages just changed the laws to the filthy rich telecommunications companies that they have to combine both networks together for things of major importance to the running of the country ?? 000 and train networks. You want a communications licence… fix the bloody thing so at least BOTH Telstra and Optus are both responsible for the safety of Australia and every Australian.. @AngusTaylorMP @PaulineHansonOz

  @MelbOnTransit @Urban_Immerser Why don't V/line use a back up telco provider beside telstra? So if one goes down they got some form of commication. V/Line should back up Telstra with Optus in case on goes out!

  @optus_help Hey Sam, I wasn't logged in and not even an Optus customer. Do you want me to DM the original enquiry so that it is easier to find the conversation?

  Here in Australia we’ve got the semi-annual hand wringing over cellular carriers and emergency calls - is it time to ditch SS7 for VoIP/SIP and switch from single operator SIM from Telstra/Optus to multi-operator SIM like SimBase or ThingsMobile?

  Okay, why's there suddenly a wave of people online saying they DIDN'T get the AusAlert? The Conspiracy grows... was this targeted? who did they target and why? SUS ON RED. Doesn't help that ******* Optus has such a **** tower here. It's RIGHT THERE OPTUS! I see it from my house!

  @SkyNewsAust CEO return won't fix the problem - the Engineers are the important focus group whose expertise is critical to restore services [certainly earning their annual salary now -bonuses? "poof!" One imagines Optus satellite services in hot demand

  What an absolute joke from Telstra today. Changed companies to them from Optus over their outage a few years ago and it still happens. Had no connection all morning.

  @Woodygocats59 @TonyShepherd4 Didn't happen with the Optus outage. 000 was unavailable for hours and nobody including Optus seemed to know it was still unavailable. Learn from pervious failures champ. FFS, what plane was the communications minister on this time?

  @Bigly20 @Caitlen2310 The Guardian asks why hasn't the government acted on regulations since the Optus outage last year? I ask what did the Coalition do about regulations after the Telstra outages in 2016 & 2018? What private discussions and/or guarantees did they obtain from Telstra after those events? In 2018 Triple Zero calls dropped out across 5 states for 10 hours. If it were so simple why didn't the Coalition insist on Telstra installing back up systems? Maybe we need a Royal Commission (joke).
