Why do they even need to ? After validation the only detail they should store is for payment, no licence, no passport, birthday...

Rob Scriva (@rovingrob) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaIs the Optus network cooked in Adelaide? So slow. Can’t even checkin
-
Peter Malinauskas (@PMalinauskasMP) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@chrissyinoz Yes. Optus customers who have already paid a fee for a replacement licence can apply in person at their Service SA for a refund.
-
Shahzad Siddique (@EngrMShehzad) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaI’m not impressed by @Optus services. I wanna cancel the plan.
-
Living life naked (@paulnudeisbest) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaAfter 25 years, & yet another data breach, this latest was the final straw... Goodbye @Optus ... If you can't even bother with basic protection of my data, why should I continue paying you for a less than stellar service? Just an hour to port everything to a more reliable telco.
-
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.

Brendan Cullen (@bcullen76) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaGenerally I don't mind Optus sport for football but I have never really taken to Mark Schwarzer. Just think he talks ****!
-
Peter Howell ☂︎ (@pe1erhowell) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@jacojac @BeauGiles @Optus Yea I also don’t see why you have to go into store to get the esim. I went into my local and the girl didn’t even know what I was talking about. Pretty bad service tbh
-
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?
-
Roy (@saroadie) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus no reported outages in my area but going into the 10th hour with no internet or mobile service ? Do you have an update
-
Robert (@Bobbyt_54) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@afardone @Optus The silly thing is there is a discount there but I have to add another phone. Just re-contracted both our mobiles late last year. Now over our data limits cause ADSL is so slow Fiona can’t do her work. Internode lady is calling me back Friday. Might go with them.
-
Christopher (@cjsheldon2012) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@SouthOzJohnny @Optus In the Optus app, go to more (3 dots down the bottom of the page), then profile and scroll down. That’s where I found mine
-
Philip Downes * (@phileboy11) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaHey @Optus who in their right mind designed a security system to send a one time code to an email address when I call for support about my internet not working? #AskingForAFriend
-
Nikki May 📚 (@NixLib) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaSwitched to @Optus 1 day a go and regretting it already. 1 phone call, 2 chats and now I have to go to a store because they sent me a dodgy sim. Surely as a new customer you would send them a new one rather than inconvenience them. RIP @virginmobileaus

Jason Anders (@Jet_Anders) reported@Optus @OptusNewsRoom @Optus I also have been experiencing problems with apps loading despite having 4G.
-
Rob Ryan (@Berts_Folly) reported@CharlesSzulc Telstra will appear before a Senate inquiry into its outage, starting next Friday. Senator Henderson is involved in the (apparently ongoing) Optus one. It'll be be interesting if she now asks questions of Telstra, as will be forthcoming media reports.
-
Wilma Domjan (@wilma_domjan) reported@keating01 Isn’t OPTUS & Telstra’s outage breakdown a strong reason NOT TO go digital on everything under one system of Government control? How many different services went out - not just 000? Can’t bank, buy petrol, grocery, use your card! EVEN WORSE is if we have a power supply outage!
-
Aberrant Gentile (@AberrantGentile) reported@nemagovau If i receive the alert on the phones i had to replace because they couldn't call one number on one network that i don't use, "000" on Voda network. Then i want those phones imei numbers reinstated on the Telstra & Optus, that i have sims for. The public/private partnership scam
-
saint_ted (@saint_ted3) reported@Woodygocats59 @TonyShepherd4 Didn't happen with the Optus outage. 000 was unavailable for hours and nobody including Optus seemed to know it was still unavailable. Learn from pervious failures champ. FFS, what plane was the communications minister on this time?
-
Fred 🇦🇺 (@Possum2412) reported@tonyward116 @Batman2242 Optus was probably down again.
-
Satoshi Goy (@satoshigoy) reportedThe fact that the emergency AusAlert didn’t reach Optus customers who had no Optus coverage, despite Telstra towers being available, is absurd. An emergency warning system should use any available network to deliver life-saving alerts—not fail because your own carrier is down. In a disaster, network loyalty shouldn’t determine who gets warned. This needs to be fixed before the next emergency.

BRODA (@RazeBannon) reportedAsk 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.
