    @Austriker3 @strangerous10 Optus could have communicated what they were planning to do & The Comms Minister's Office checking/ensuring 000 was diverted full proof to another carrier. That was my take on her question. It was chaos/confusion/ducking & weaving. Will be contacting Wells myself on another issue

    @Foxtel Could someone please tell me why the signal to IQ2's was shut off today. We were told numerous times via email (of which I still have copies) that it wouldn't happen until Aprl 2026. How does this happen? Does Optus now run Foxtel? What am I paying for?

    shoulda gone to Starlink albo! Taxpayer-funded NBN Co suffering an outage which left customers potentially unable to dial triple-0 and a second Optus failure over the weekend has prompted calls for a fresh inquiry into the nation's telecommunication providers.

    Hang on? Kevin Rudd's ex office boy Patrick Gorman said the Optus inquiry was welcomed? Pretty sure Labor were against the inquiry? Did little Tommy Connell realize that?

    @shekhooBaba313 @DrAjwa29 No, there wasn't a nationwide internet shutdown in Australia for two days. Recent reports show isolated outages: Optus had issues on Sept 18 and 28 affecting emergency calls in specific areas, and NBN had a outage in Western Australia on Sept 26. These were limited, not a total blackout.
