  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

  @Ethen_Hunt_ @col_colin1 @IncrediblyBozza This isn’t hard to get. Optus was a brand new stadium. I don’t care if the statue had no home. There were far more deserving people to have their statues at Optus before him, even if the DV stuff never happened. Being kind & ignoring that, 7 years later no one else has one?

  Senator Henders is spot on #AFTERNOONBRIEFING That repulsive ABC sheils with her SNARLED TOP LIP was not happy LOL #CANBERRA Sarah is correct. LABOR LIED ABOUT THE OPTUS OUTAGE AND PEOPLE DIED. #MELBOURNE KARVELAS WAS OWNED BY SENATOR HEDERSON (stop telling lies 'Patricia')

  @TweetTreet @tim_blee That's bullshit, devices EFTPOS and similar devices that run on 4G/5G can use other networks, and a bit of business continuity planning would have a backup network, even for a small business, like running down to Officeworks and buying an OPTUS prepaid SIM.

  @Kate3015 Remember 18 Sept 2025 when Optus had a 000 outage because no one though to make some test calls to ensure the service was working after an upgrade? Doing a test is basic common sense.

  I read an article suggesting that @Starlink could come to Australia as a phone service. Oh, I hope it's real. Telstra utterly sucks, has massive blackspots everywhere, is ludicrously expensive, and has terrible customer service. Optus & Vodafone are worse. We need competition.

  @QBCCIntegrity @Optus It speaks volumes about how bad Australia's situation is when it has to rely on an outfit like Optus to save lives.

  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.

  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?

  @footyindustryAU SBS know what their doing and I hope they never lose it again. They proved themselves the home of the world cup after Optus.
