Matthew Selby (@mselbyLFCSC) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@BSFootball @OptusSport Blame the PL for the rights they offer. It’s ridiculous but not an Optus issue.
-
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.

Weng Wong (@wengywong) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@TPG_Telecom are no better than @Optus, two complaints now lodged with the Ombudsman. Come on telcos, lift your customer service
-
Lisa L 🍋💛 (@LisaLemon09) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaI saw one other post from someone else saying they were having internet connection issues with Optus. Is anyone else? Mine seems to go off overnight at some point & then kicks in when I turn on the fetch box after lunch.

Susie 🌹 (@suechook) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus How stupid are Optus don’t have app anymore so can’t send latest bill! Who employs these muppets.Cant call as keep getting cut off. Identity has been provided, Ombudsman will get call tomorrow

gcov (@gcov5) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaOptus we scraped through,never been a customer, now Medibank hacked.... Needs to change,companies holding personal data. Why do they even need to ? After validation the only detail they should store is for payment, no licence, no passport, birthday...
-
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.

christopher maland (@ABlueSkyandaCoo) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus 3/1 Mills street South Brighton South Australia 5048 part (2) If the problem is not external the box on the outside of the building needs to be checked. The box needs a more secure locking mechanism
-
Dr Nick Tellis (@drnicktellis) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@NBN_Australia Hello there Imagine my joy when this solved my problem That will make two of us imagining a solution to this 💩 Sending me to an IVR that sends me a text is not a solution You can DM me... @Telstra should have gone with @Optus
-
Lady M 💫 (@harryxroyalty) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus hello, can you please explain why tf your reception is so bad at the moment? For the past 2 weeks I’ve barely gotten 2 bars! I can barely make a phone call.
-
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!
-
Lisa L 🍋💛 (@LisaLemon09) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@actualeyez @Optus Yeah they are one of those doing this ‘subscription’ invoicing. They also don’t issue a bill for you to check before hand just an invoice after they have deducted the amount. What if they mess up & over charge & take your money if you do have it too? I bet not refunded quickly.
-
Mark Donnell (@trck71) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus very poor, you send message which is followed and still not actioned. Very poor. #optus #badservice #noservice
-
Stephen Blakeney (@StephenB_adl) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaI spoke to @Optus about cancelling my service and part of the package to keep me was a 12 months subscription to Equifax - so wait, do I need it or not? I don’t think it should be an optional extra 🤨
-
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.
-
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
-
David McCandless (@davemc) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaSeems my phone company Optus has been hacked so if you are being trolled or asked for money by me then you know that’s normal, but if there are stupid memes posted then I’ve been hacked
-
Paul Mizzi (@returnofsmith) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaThanks @Optus for your inconsistent internet speeds on your wireless broadband service. Sunday night movie was ruined by constant buffering even after many router resets. $800+ a year and I can’t even be confident to invite friends over for a movie 😡😡😡😡😡

BRODA (@RazeBannon) reported@BritishHodl Grok can an ISP block voice over IP? 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.

Ban-Foo Leong (@BanFoo_) reported@Optus This morning, just after 11am, I noticed that my @Optus @NBN_Australia connection stopped working, resulting in no internet or telephone service. I’m located in the Inner West Sydney area. Is this an unscheduled outage. What is going on? This is so frustrating!
-
Ancient Tiger (@TigerAncient) reported@TonyShepherd4 As the shadow minister for emergency communications it is great she tested the system. It was supposed to switch to another network (e.g. Telstra to Optus) in case of an outage of one of them. That didn't occur and she found a fault there. I expect my elected parliamentarians to test the systems they have a portfolio of. By the way, as soon as Teltra asked her not to test it again, she stopped. Good try there, though, but again, you landed well short of common sense.
-
carrygale (@carrygale) reported@normboy562 It is not her fault that Telstra went down. It is not her fault that Optus went down a couple of years ago. It is her fault that she has done **** all in the years between those two outages to solve the problem of 000.
-
Peter Lewis (@Peter_Lewis747) reported@theheraldsun Telstra’s outage affected many states but Victoria’s train network was most affected. Why more than other states? State government stuff up. Optus has had outages too so you shouldn’t be fully reliant on these telcos.
-
Macro Elephant (@ElephantMacro) reportedWondering whether the Telstra CEO Vicky Brady will break down and cry when she fronts up to the media about the system outage, just like the Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin did, following the system outage in 2022?
-
Imagine that (@ManaImagine) reported@MickamiousG @Starlink I got Optus net and have had no problems at all.

john ****** smith (@jfsmithcnt) reported@BigDog_USA @Telstra You must be deaf and blind. It was a massive outrage when Optus went down too. Not everything is about an agenda **** head.

Goldy (@ozgoldfish) reported@me_dc And it was totally free this World Cup! Paying for Optus was **** last time
