This Optus outage probably points to the advisability of having two different Internet sources, one via NBN and one via mobile. I have iiNet NBN at home and Telstra 5G on my phone, so I assume they wouldn't crash at the same time. (And if they did, we'd have bigger things to worry about, like an alien invasion.)

@timrichards only two?

At home I have starlink with failover to internode adsl and Telstra lte. My mobile is Telstra 5G.

@timrichards Yeah rather glad our ISP uses a different backbone. Pity people with Optus & Aussie Broadband.

@timrichards for similar reasons I strongly recommend having accounts at multiple banks. Also helps if you’re unfortunate enough to get your accounts at one wrongly frozen (which does happen sometimes)

@timrichards one of the few times I can be smug about having Vodafone…
