  So the answer to the @Optus breach by @VicRoads is to issue everyone a second card, effectively 2 CARD # FACTOR AUTHORISATION which will need to later be quoted to companies needing license info. Looking forward to the day I have a full deck of License cards. #OptusDataBreach

  @Kate3015 Aussies are being fleeced, these comms companies compared to everywhere else in the world take Aussies to the cleaners. For the entire network to fail would suggest a complete & utter rebuild of Telstra is required urgently, from the very top down. #Telstra #Auspol #Optus

  A guy moved into a new apartment. Only “official” internet was FTTN NBN — $90/month for a pathetic 30 Mbps down max. He called Telstra and Optus. Both said “5G Fixed Wireless not available at your address.” He checked a cell tower map anyway. Half a dozen towers within a couple km. Bought a GL.iNet GL-X3000NR 5G router + built a DIY 4x4 MIMO LPDA external antenna. Result? 800 Mbps download / 170 Mbps upload. 25x faster. $75/month. Same building. Here’s exactly how he did it 🧵

  @benny_drew @7AFL Don't forget they lost to Gold Coast at Optus Oval in the finals last year by 1 point. They'll **** it up like they always do.

  I’m wondering if Telstra Optus etc will cope on Monday 27th when all the emergency services etc are planned to be delivered to phones

  @Naymmm_ @stupidtechtakes *actually the governments fault for whatever stupid reason, they forced Telstra/TPG/Optus to do these blanket bans on VoLTE capable devices if they weren’t sold locally for whatever reason

  @thmsenglsh i used to work at telstra and we had even more data breaches and outages than optus did but telstras like besties with every australian media outlet and funds alot of their services so everyone just bags on optus instead, telstra genuinely sucks

  @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
