  @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.

  @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).

  What an absolute joke from Telstra today. Changed companies to them from Optus over their outage a few years ago and it still happens. Had no connection all morning.

  @thmsenglsh also their service is $70 a month for no good reason (they raised it because they added satellite sms) they profit consistently every year whereas optus basically makes a little more than enough to continue operating, the difference in revenue is crazy between the two

  @Ausbobsmit Hmmm. She was on holidays when Optus had its Triple Zero outage wasn’t she? Am I seeing a pattern?

  @SSzczepkow87759 @OneNewsAu There will be four. The big three + Starlink. Starlink fills in the gaps is coverage with low orbit satellite connectivity the others don’t have. But I hope they ’ll have a plan that’s doesn’t include Optus. They already have a deal with Telstra who sellers Starlink cheaper and slower (bad for Starlink brand). Assuming the same hustle will occur with Optus. Competition is always good - but not when the competition works together..
