    @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.

    @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

    @QBCCIntegrity @Optus Woke up this morning to SOS on phone, was like wtf! Didn’t start working until I headed away from the major town/city I was in and it went to roaming

    @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.

    @MickamiousG @Starlink I got Optus net and have had no problems at all.

    @mdtlion She sounds more like a Telstra public relations officer, than the Communications Minister. Maybe she’s grifting for a future job with them. I noticed the little dig she made at Optus by mentioning a previous issue they had had in the past, but totally relevant to today’s issues.

    @ianclarkeAU If you have a business you need both, they never go down at the same time. This was the case with Optus and Telstra cable networks decades ago, if you had both and a firewall/router that handled either bridging or failover you were never off line. Mind you Telstra did get nasty in the early days because their billing system was lazy so you could send packets out on one service and pull down data on the other thus avoiding usage fees. πŸ€“

    @SkyNewsAust CEO return won't fix the problem - the Engineers are the important focus group whose expertise is critical to restore services [certainly earning their annual salary now -bonuses? "poof!" One imagines Optus satellite services in hot demand
