So an optus tower goes down and everyone goes up in a big stink because 34,000 people... Didn't connect to another network's tower with emergency calls only? Or? Like isn't this meant to be a solved problem? https://t.co/UxEZwkVrHc

Am I right in what I heard on news? The triple zero issue that was blamed on Optus has now been found by Telstra and has been identified as phones not working on newer updates, and it's a result of the 3G network shutdown? Huge if true.

Telstra network down here in the bush. So who was smart enough to rig up an old phone to the Optus network in advance? Yep, if Optus could crash, as it did, so can Telstra. So I have 3 smartphones, and two networks...JUST IN CASE! When you're out in the bush, you have to

Anika can say we are sorry the LNP did nothing to help when the Optus outage started in 2018 as people have died needlessly because the LNP are a pack of lazy, deceitful, lying good for nothing politicians! We have increased fines & accountability next time they lose the licence

Anika Wells handled the latest question from MacIntosh beautifully. Told her to stop politicising deaths as a result of Optus outage as she has done for last two days. Wonderful answer. #qt

Is it time to force Singtel to divest itself from the Optus network in Australia so it can be floated on the ASX? If not, why not? We don't have to bow down to Singtel when they're not running the emergency 000 network responsibly.

Optus? Yes? No. Another classic example of privatisation. I remember when you could ring the PMG to report an outage and technicians would look into it immediately. #abc730
