  @oscarcsims @haydenmalc maybe it'll happen soon since outsourcing RAN management to cheaper vendors is all the rage in the telecom space right now (Spark just outsourced to Nokia, who was the vendor who was partially responsible for the last Optus 000 outage)

  @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra That would be vodafone followed by optus and then telstra. Before anyone comes after me, vodafone went down for several months in 2010/2011, optus had a data breach in 2022 that affected nearly 10 million customers. Telstra just inconvenienced people.

  With Optus - national outage, price hikes ($45-60 monthly) and spotty, unexplained 4G and 5G city coverage. Decide to jump to Telstra. With Telstra - national outage... Yep.

  @HaveeSnowball @JanSummersalt Only way to get customer service from Telstra is go to store or port your number to another company. They use ai bot systems that circle jerk you and waste your time. It's a joke. Same with Optus.

  @jbulldogs4 Not really as its still ongoing. They told people to use a optus or vodafone device thats not Telstra. Thats some reliable service isnt it. Shouldn’t be happening but probably a overseas disgruntled workers!.

  @pceebee23 @LayaboutSi @Telstra They very much are. All vline trains are down. Metro uses Optus so they are fine.

  @Raymartin55 So the opposition communications or health minister shouldn’t check to see if vital infrastructure is working properly Do you remember the Optus outage! Give me a spell!

  @7NewsBrisbane Why doesn’t 000 have an alternative number as a backup run by? Maybe Optus or Tpg or Vodafone? How does a company or a business run with just one solution? 000 is incompetent.

  @TonyShepherd4 As the shadow minister for emergency communications it is great she tested the system. It was supposed to switch to another network (e.g. Telstra to Optus) in case of an outage of one of them. That didn't occur and she found a fault there. I expect my elected parliamentarians to test the systems they have a portfolio of. By the way, as soon as Teltra asked her not to test it again, she stopped. Good try there, though, but again, you landed well short of common sense.
