  @AlanBixter Particularly after @Optus emergency access fuckups, there's no excuse for not having robust redundancies & fail safes @Telstra are likely more focussed on cost-cutting & leveraging unwanted, untested AI to boost management bonuses CEOs should face jail time for such negligence

  @Starlink And while Optus and Vodafone service this area - proving how much Telstra really sucks - they both lose signal only several kilometers further out of the CBD, meaning that they also suck. These are the only three networks here. All other carriers buy access from these three.

  @FranMooMoo And everyone thought Optus was bad when it happened, this was a software glitch, how do we know it wasn't aa hacker?

  @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

  @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

  Perth's tribute to Nicky Winmar has come down following his conviction on assault charges. A Bendigo court found the former St Kilda champion guilty of dragging a woman by the hair and repeatedly striking her head against a door. WA Premier Roger Cook ordered the bronze figure's removal from Optus Stadium, calling it inconsistent with the state's stance on violence against women. Tune in to 10 News Perth at 5pm for more details.

  @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.

  @FranMooMoo I’m in. Telstra and Optus have had the market monopoly for too long and wtf do we get for it? Excellent coverage in the Gold Coast and absolutely woeful phone reception in the entire rest of the country. Starlink will level the playing field nationwide.

  @matt_barrie @van00sa And the Optus network went down right after Albanese visited Beijing in November 2023.
