    @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).

    @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.

    Okay, why's there suddenly a wave of people online saying they DIDN'T get the AusAlert? The Conspiracy grows... was this targeted? who did they target and why? SUS ON RED. Doesn't help that ******* Optus has such a **** tower here. It's RIGHT THERE OPTUS! I see it from my house!

    Data Security seems to be a major problem in Australia. How about I just hand my data over publicly and be done with it? @Optus @originenergy #DataSecurity

    @tiny_watermelon @Optus I just realised I didn't get an alert today either, while I was sleeping. Considering I'm a disabled pensioner that's a little concerning. In the days of landline phones, I was on a high-priority service. Maybe it's because I don't have a smartphone ? Goodness knows.

    Is it just me, or has Optus 5 been seriously dumbed down? I feel 4.8 was way better.

    @Bigly20 @Caitlen2310 The Guardian asks why hasn't the government acted on regulations since the Optus outage last year? I ask what did the Coalition do about regulations after the Telstra outages in 2016 & 2018? What private discussions and/or guarantees did they obtain from Telstra after those events? In 2018 Triple Zero calls dropped out across 5 states for 10 hours. If it were so simple why didn't the Coalition insist on Telstra installing back up systems? Maybe we need a Royal Commission (joke).

    @JordanTHFCFFC Freo is in trouble anyway. They need Brisbane in the 1/4 game so they can beat them at Optus. If they play anywhere else Brisbanes big game players will win it so they need to hope someone can knock the lions off

    @KatyKray73 In the event of a global war, data centres will be prioriy targets for bombs, missiles, and emp nukes, because.... These data centres will control everything. Ffs, telstra and optus outages caused enough disruption, imagine a total testra and optus blackout, multiply that by 100

    @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup AFL stadiums are not built to support football, Iā€™d take Optus, Adelaide Oval and the MCG off the list! Probably one of the reasons we have never won a World Cup
