  @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).

  How many times in the past 3 years have telecommication services in Australia been disrupted? #Telstra #Optus More evidence which strongly suggests Telstra and Optus aren't up to it. Lack of investment in infrastructure? #StarLink is winning more customers because of these lack lustre telcos. Telstra has suffered an outage that disrupted calls, mobile data and some Triple Zero calls across the country after reports of the problem emerged on Wednesday morning. The telecommunications company, which has apologised to its customers, has said its CEO Vicki Brady was on annual leave.

  @simonbiddle @taipan168 As much as I defend funding government services, the notion that government run IT will be more reliable than Telstra/Optus is just not believable given the various IT issues we see on a constant basis from Centrelink and who can forget the debacle of the last Census

  @JH_Otway_Ranges @FranMooMoo Hanlon’s Razor or whatever razor that states never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity. Optus staff literally left a URL public that was supposed to be private and someone stumbled on it.

  @optus_help Hey Sam, I wasn't logged in and not even an Optus customer. Do you want me to DM the original enquiry so that it is easier to find the conversation?

  @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.

  @Democracy_Duck @ABCmediawatch Are you suggesting giving the network back to public ownership? To an organisation like NBN where rejects from Telstra & Optus go to work? (Including Telstra's so-called risk management 'experts' BTW) With ACMA keeping an eye on things?

  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 🧵
