  @WesleySouthcott @ScomoCchio No. Optus has had outages too. And their response was just as pathetic as Telstra’s. But the point remains, huge service providers that can cause disrupt/impact nationwide are not held to account in any meaningful or significant way.

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

  @OneNewsAu This is not new news, they have been trialing sms over starlink using Optus and Telstra OWNED spectrum for several years and its at least live fir SMS on Telstra. As soon as Starship is cleared for normal operations they can launch the larger v3 satellites which will support this function fully. The spectrum spacex purchased is not compatible with current phones regardless, and would require manufacturers to adopt that band for use so its not close to being usable nor launched.

  @thmsenglsh also their service is $70 a month for no good reason (they raised it because they added satellite sms) they profit consistently every year whereas optus basically makes a little more than enough to continue operating, the difference in revenue is crazy between the two

  @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

  @Michael83424242 This started under the LNP are you senile, stupid or deliberately been disingenuous? Communications outages & breaches occurred under the tenure of Paul Fletcher, who served as Minister- 2019 to 2022. The 2022 Data Breach: In Sept, Optus suffered a massive cyber-attack!

  @SSzczepkow87759 @OneNewsAu There will be four. The big three + Starlink. Starlink fills in the gaps is coverage with low orbit satellite connectivity the others don’t have. But I hope they ’ll have a plan that’s doesn’t include Optus. They already have a deal with Telstra who sellers Starlink cheaper and slower (bad for Starlink brand). Assuming the same hustle will occur with Optus. Competition is always good - but not when the competition works together..

  @bdosi72 What he stood up for can’t be argued but I’m glad the WA government is removing that statue of him at Optus that should of never been put up in the first place. He never played for either club and I hope they replace it with the great Dennis Cometti
