    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    @KobieThatcher @Ann19851873 Agree πŸ’― Also with the recent Telstra outage and formed Optus outage. Both affecting Eftpos networks and ATM’s. Cash is king for many reasons including privacy. Do not let cash die out.

    @Optus Not trying to activate a service, verifying my ID on my prepaid ask you asked. The app is garbage, tried it & all is does is ask me to update (I already have), now it keeps telling me to update then shuts down. Have to waste my time going instore.

    @AshConnell Well Telstra and Optus both had system network failures, and they cant even take responsibility for it

    @gpeurocars These 1/2 wits leave us unsafe! Telstra & Optus widespread outages triggers severe, cascading national security & public emergencies as modern infrastructure is hyper-connected, a single software defect or network drop instantly paralyzes critical systems, not just calls. 2/2 🧡

    @QBCCIntegrity Australians are now being subjected to more and more data breaches. I have friends with Optus and Energex who are at a loss as to what to do. Bank details, card details, DOB. Banks cancel your cards in times of dispute. Direct debits are affected. Constant crimes against us all.

    @AdityaS41869751 @randomcricstat Heads batting at the Optus to England off the back foot mainly But yes these drop in pitches on multi sport grounds are awful they break up and crack so easily or you leave enough grass on the top and it’s like your playing on a minefield
