  Let’s forget the umpiring, taunting and constant booing of this underrated crowd, what’s the go with this Optus stadium deck, the worst ground in the AFL currently, on par with what was dished up for origin last night. Awful. #aflfreoswans

  @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.

  @YoiksAndAway @Optus @Telstra Absolutely. Management that place personal greed above service should not be in service industries, and those who endanger lives for personal gain should not be at liberty.

  @heidimur This isn’t just about Telstra. We saw similar issues with Optus. If our emergency communications and critical infrastructure are meant to be resilient, why do single network outages continue to have such widespread impacts? It’s time to review whether our redundancy is truly independent, or whether we’re relying on backups that share the same points of failure.

  @robertveneziano @VoteLewko Incorrect ARTC handles Standard Gauge in AUS... Whist @VicTrack_Vic handles Broad gauge in VIC. But all should not rely on only one telco provider...the ICE radio are linked to Telstra! But optus has gone down too 2 years ago with the same result!

  @FranMooMoo I wonder if his satellites can be used for mobile phone network? Mobile phone calls and text messages don't use much bandwidth unlike the internet, if he were to somehow make phones and they worked everywhere even in the desert Telstra Vodaphone, and Optus would go bust

  @JacintaAllanMP Wasn’t Anika Smells supposed to put something in place in the case of such scenarios after the Optus outage? The fault for this lies with Labor

  What an absolute joke from Telstra today. Changed companies to them from Optus over their outage a few years ago and it still happens. Had no connection all morning.

  @strangerous10 And they pushed back at global roaming as well. Happens as a default in most countries. Would save a lot of problems if Telstra or Optus shared their networks when network problems arose with any communications provider in Australia 🇦🇺 @AlboMP
