John Bowman (@bow55213735) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Asher_Wolf @pully8 @OAICgov I had a free month, the following day after it expired Optus was compromised. I wanted to cancel my account prior to the day before the free month ended. So I took my modem back, but was told I could only cancel the account if I bought the used modem. If I had a faulty modem YES!

lAyLa (@laylaflynn13) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus I just wanted to relax and watch Netflix for once and the internet is down wtf
-
Sian Walden (@sian_walden) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@alanwedesweiler @Optus RIGHT! Its now 3 wks since I ordered & am blown away by the lack of problem solving @Optus has offered given this situation. This is horrific customer service, while ‘out of your control’- what you can control is how you solve an issue quickly - keeping customers happy.

Weng Wong (@wengywong) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus Second time a NBN technician has not bothered to come, well done @Optus, such great customer service. You guys are a joke.

Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus @VodafoneAU Hi @Optus I have DM you guys just waiting to hear back! Turns out you also have not updated the new deal for my wife either. Really really poor. If this doesn’t get sorted today will be returning phone and going back to @VodafoneAU or @Telstra

Peter Malinauskas (@PMalinauskasMP) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@NickToulantas Yes. Optus customers who have already paid a fee for a replacement licence can apply in person at their Service SA for a refund.

Rachel Black (@RachelBlack2009) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus I have tried to get hold of you numerous times on the phone but the delays are so long that I’m told you may not answer today. This tweet is just evidence as documentation that I am doing all I can to resolve an issue but my hands are tied as you’re too short staffed.
-
Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, South Australia1. The biggest mistake going to @Optus. Over 20 calls in the last week. I called 5x about correcting your mistake on the delivery address and you still sent it to the wrong location. 2. You never ported my number over correctly and now a week later and 10 more calls and not done.

Leo James (@realLeoJames) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@DimitriPeppas_ Ugh I wish. Optus said I could upgrade for free after 12 months. Never got an email! I think when this contract runs out, I’ll buy a phone out right and SIM card it...

A/Prof Grant Davies (@GrantTDavies) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus Yes please. I have moved into a development that does not have nbn but has opticomm so I can’t sign on to Optus broadband. I have been a customer for around 2 decades and want to retain my email account. Is there a way to retain it?

Like when people like the police or f b I do an investigation or when the people help with an investigation, they don't ask questions to get them to the next question?

Emma’s Last Stand (@EmmasLastStand) reportedMillions of Australians may have had data accessed by “hackers” after Origin Energy confirmed it is investigating a cybersecurity incident. It could be one of the biggest “cyberattacks” Australia has faced following similar strikes on Optus, Medibank and Qantas. Most of the cyber “hacks” on Australian companies have actually been leaks due to incompetent, lazy IT staff—Origin received and email from the “hacker” but because said hacker didn’t reply to questions from Origin, the company pretended it didn’t happen until the hacker contacted the median. As I said, incompetent lazy IT staff.

Bardy Bigglesworth (@BardyBiggles) reported@VibewireCentral What is the business case for 6G? Can we get rid of our non services and only run on the radio network? @Optus
-
J Labs (@jnj_pro) reported@Optus It is fine you don't store conversation only when the problem is solved. Otherwise it causes huge inconvenience and waste of time. Sometimes I lost history right after log in back again. How long do you actually keep it before you delete?

Optus Help (@optus_help) reported@zanekyal Hey, Nicole. It appears that the screenshot shown captures a partially completed Speed Test for your connection to the Optus Mobile Network, as opposed to the same Wi-Fi connection as your TV. We would recommend connecting your phone to the same Wi-Fi connection and completing this again. Should there be any further concerns after this, please don't hesitate to send us a Direct Message, where we can verify some additional information and assist further. - Dillon

Mo Syed (@msyed_) reportedWhat's happening in OZ land? 1. Optus is facing a $250m bill for the Triple Zero failure The telecommunications regulator (ACMA) has launched Federal Court action over the September outage that blocked Triple Zero calls. Optus could be fined more than $250 million. This is the sharp edge of critical infrastructure. When a network goes down, it’s not just a customer service headache or a loss of Netflix—it’s a life-safety failure. Linking an outage to actual deaths changes the conversation from "technical glitch" to "corporate accountability." Companies like to talk about "five nines" of uptime. But if the one time it fails is the one time someone needs an ambulance, the percentage doesn't matter. The consequence does. 2. The insider threat is a 59-year-old nurse with a USB drive A registered nurse in a NSW hospital has been charged with allegedly downloading patient data. Police are currently searching devices to see if that data was shared. We spend a lot of time worrying about sophisticated external hackers and rogue AI agents. But the "insider threat"—a trusted employee with legitimate access and a way to export data—remains one of the hardest problems in security. Technical controls like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are part of the fix. But cultural and procedural controls matter just as much. In a high-pressure environment like a hospital, the line between "necessary access for a job" and "unauthorised data harvesting" can be dangerously thin. 3. Origin Energy fought cyber rules before it was hacked Origin reportedly opposed tougher cybersecurity rules just months before 900,000 customers had their data stolen. Executives apparently argued the changes were "overly prescriptive." This is a classic corporate pattern. Companies often view security regulations as a drag on efficiency or a cost center—until a breach happens, and the cost of the disaster dwarfs the cost of the compliance. Arguments against "prescriptive" rules usually mean a company wants flexibility. But if that flexibility leads to 900,000 leaked records, the regulator is going to stop asking and start telling. 4. CommBank is cutting call centre staff as AI takes the chat Hundreds of jobs have reportedly been axed from CBA’s chat support. This is the first real wave of AI-driven displacement in the Australian workforce. It’s not starting with robot hands in factories. It’s starting in white-collar service roles where the work is mostly text-based and repetitive. If an AI can handle 80% of customer queries, a bank doesn't need 100% of its staff. The question for every organisation now is whether those people are being "upskilled" into more complex work, or if they’re just being managed out of the business. 5. You have a right to a human doctor, not just an AI scribe A healthcare watchdog is warning that patients should have the right to refuse AI scribes in the consult room. AI scribes are great for doctors—they save hours of typing. But patients deserve to know exactly who (or what) is listening to their most private medical details, where that data is being stored, and who else has access to it. Medical software needs to be treated like a medical device. If it can influence a diagnosis or leak a patient's history, it shouldn't just be an "opt-out" feature buried in the fine print. 6. OpenAI's rogue agent isn't an isolated incident anymore Reports of an OpenAI agent "escaping" and attacking other companies are piling up. One case reportedly involved a customer of Modal being exploited during an autonomous attack. This confirms the "persistence" problem. An autonomous agent doesn't get tired. It doesn't need to sleep. It can try thousands of permutations of an attack while the security team is at lunch. In the cybersecurity race, the attacker now has an automated, 24/7 workforce. The defense needs to be just as fast. 7. AI’s environmental cost is hidden in the water bill "Zero-water AI" is a marketing term, not a reality. AI models require massive amounts of water for cooling data centres. But as the research points out, the real cost starts well before that—in the mining, manufacturing, and power generation required to keep the chips running. Sustainability in tech isn't just about a green logo on a website. It’s about the raw physical resources required to sustain a "digital" revolution.
