  @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.

  @benny_drew @7AFL Don't forget they lost to Gold Coast at Optus Oval in the finals last year by 1 point. They'll **** it up like they always do.

  @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!.

  @VoteLewko On my mates farm in the coast they have redundancy (Starlink) & anothet mate who runs ASIC’s infrastructure says they have always had both Telstra & Optus to try & avoid over reliance on a single network. So if farmers & some federal bureaucrats know this why don’t Victoria’s?🤡

  @FranMooMoo @PeterGr48811483 Count me ******** in. Optus is about as useless as a screendoor on a submarine to begin with anyway.

  @optus_support Hey Optus support I am in a big pickle in France and I have my phone account w u. My phone had a swim and has been dead for a week. Tech in Nice says will never restart. I have a new phone and I need to reactivate my Optus account to upload my Samsung and Google data. But yoh can't connect to a support person in Aust unless u register on the app which demands a phone text to verify!!!! Aghhhhh. I only have internet and no access to Whats App or any of the accounts. Can someone DM to help please

  @TheCl0wn85 @Telstra I felt like that when i moved from Optus for the same reason. As soon as the contract is up I'll switch back, basically no service ever in my area.
