  @heidimur In WA Transporth uses Fibre that runs thought every station and Private Wireless (LTE/4.9G): Transperth doesn't use Telstra or Optus for train-to-ground data. They built a custom, secure wireless network with 160+ dedicated radio masts along the tracks using licensed spectrum.

  @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

  @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).

  @JohnnyinternetI @WestCoastEagles AFL had nothing to do with Optus build. Such a stupid comment.

  @Optus are the worst telco on the planet. You’d think that after over 30 years of loyalty they’d be willing to negotiate a compromise and maybe even a little leniency to someone in financial hardship, but no. They don’t care. It’s all about the money. Stay away from @Optus

  @jfwfreo @D_LittleproudMP Exactly. I live remotely, and the local tower broke down. It took 3 weeks for Optus to arrive. Meanwhile I used the local pay phone most days to conduct business and to phone concerned friends and relatives. Littleproud has no idea how the remote live. He’s just another National

  @BigDog_USA @Telstra You must be deaf and blind. It was a massive outrage when Optus went down too. Not everything is about an agenda **** head.
