  @RoadknightThe Mine didn't work on Telstra. The optus phone did. FAIL

  @jnj_pro Sorry to hear that you're having these ongoing issues with the app and need to log in multiple times. Can you please ensure both the app and your device have been updated to the latest available software? We also recommend enabling biometrics in the My Optus App, so you don't need to keep re-entering codes. Please send us a DM if you are still needing assistance. - Joel

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

  Ask Grok: Can ISPs block VOIP? Yes, ISPs can block Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic at their network level, and many do so in practice. This is technically feasible using tools like port blocking, deep packet inspection (DPI), and other traffic management techniques. How ISPs Block VoIP ISPs control the core network infrastructure, so they can inspect and filter traffic before it reaches customers. Common methods include: Port-based blocking**: Traditional VoIP often uses specific ports like UDP 5060/5061 for SIP (signaling) and a range of ports (e.g., 10000–20000) for RTP (media/voice). ISPs can simply drop traffic on these ports. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)**: This examines not just headers but packet contents, signatures, packet sizes, timing, and protocol behavior to identify VoIP even if it uses non-standard ports or obfuscation. DPI can dynamically detect and block SIP, RTP, or app-specific patterns (e.g., Skype, WhatsApp calls). IP address or domain blacklisting**: Blocking known servers of VoIP providers. Protocol anomaly detection or traffic shaping**: Dropping or throttling UDP-heavy, low-latency streams typical of voice calls. Real-World Examples Certain countries and carriers (e.g., in the Middle East, Morocco, Philippines, or places with state telecom monopolies) block VoIP to protect traditional phone revenue or for regulatory reasons. Mobile providers like Optus 4G or others have blocked SIP traffic. Corporate/school networks or bandwidth-limited ISPs sometimes block or deprioritize VoIP to conserve resources. China has historically blocked VoIP, though workarounds emerged over time. Limitations and Challenges for Complete Blocking Encryption and obfuscation**: Modern VoIP (e.g., over WebRTC, HTTPS, or apps like Signal/WhatsApp) is harder to detect reliably. DPI isn't foolproof against randomized ports, variable packet patterns, or VPN-like wrapping. VPNs and tunnels**: Users can often bypass blocks by routing traffic through a VPN, which encrypts and hides the VoIP signature. Evasion techniques**: Providers and users adapt with port hopping, STUN/TURN servers, or proxies. False positives**: Overly aggressive blocking can disrupt other UDP-based services (gaming, video streaming). Complete, unbreakable blocking is difficult long-term without also harming general internet performance, but partial or effective blocking for most users is very achievable. Why ISPs Do This Reasons include protecting legacy telephony revenue, complying with regulations, managing bandwidth, reducing congestion, or enforcing content policies. In summary, yes—ISPs have both the capability and precedent for blocking VoIP, primarily via DPI and port controls, though motivated users can often circumvent it. If you're dealing with a specific ISP or scenario, details could help narrow down options. TCP/IP allows spam filters at the node level. This is one small example. TCP/IP remains neutral and ethical.

  It's not possible for that to happen. I think not quite as bad as at Optus, both require a full clearing of the decks across the whole club. This isn't a rebuild in culture which is clearly what's required. It's just collecting players & not making them gel

  @Optus @Optus @OptusNewsRoom when I try to dial out it tells me there is insufficient credit to make a call, when I text the balance check number it shows unlimited calls until the end of the day 31/07/2026 and the current time is midday AEST. Would this be a network issue?

  @cookyourgarden @valuetainment They dont have lowband spectrum in Australia (nor in the US) without doing a deal with existing providers (Telstra & Optus) so dont get your hopes up. The spectrum they do have is mid band and would require phone manufacturers to support it, also needs a clear path to the sky to work.

  @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
