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 😡😡😡😡😡

Mr Dom (@iammrdom) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaI’m stuck thinking about my mobile carrier, so I stay with an Optus MVNO or go to a Telstra ‘full service’ MVNO. It’s complicated. There’s $10 a month in it between the two companies.

Treble Sketch (Want Desktop Assist? Check profile) (@ILM126) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@GamersNexus @HardwareUnboxed Though I've got mine on a special early-bird deal, pay 30AUD for like 55GB per month. Though am using the Optus network so it's usually congested during the day and only get 50/20Mbps with my S10+ in the middle of the night xD Which is the same speed as my NBN :P

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

Anthony Ashton (@bloodhoundau) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@LawrieColliver Oh gosh. This is similar to optus. Who had issues with broadcasting the rugby world cup.

Crowes Eye Photography 📷 (@croweseyephoto) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaDon't think anyone realises within 10 years, it's possible that Onlyfans will be hacked. Just like Optus and Medibank. Doesn't help that the media are blowing it up like it's a potential way to become famous either. It's something everyone on it will eventually live to regret.

stratEG by wade (@stratEGbywade) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus @Icy_Remote I'm also trying to register a SIM for a non English speaking friend. Online help is not working

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

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

natasha alexandra w (@nartazartaz) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus how long does it take to upgrade a network tower ? It’s been weeks and I’ve been paying for no 4G wifi/internet?!! Let alone WFH has been difficult….

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
-
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.

AKH 🇦🇺 (@adriankhall) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus is there an NBN outage in the Klemzig area? Mobile phone service this morning was OKAY. Thanks!

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.

Teresa LaRocca (@effielarocca) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Telstra 1/2. 2,weeks ago I suggested we switch from @Optus to Telstra, up our speed to 50mps as your bundle seemed better than Optus. Now we have no internet (which seemed to work on an Optus network) and yesterday my sister lost her job. She has 2 weeks left of her job and now

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.

Mian Ijaz Rabbani (@ijaz2021) reported@aamir_ibrahim01 @JensenHuang Australia switched off its 3G network in 2024 and Jazz IR roaming stopped working in Australia. Community raised it many times with Jazz, to always receive standard replies, to no avail. Please liaise Singtel/Optus to restore Jazz IR in Australia.

Nathan (@motelbad) reportedSo good to finally not be an Optus customer anymore after 2 years of paying my phone off 😌

Ray Finkle (@itsrayfinkle) reportedAusAlert cost ~$130 million to rollout. A 13x increase from the $10m initial budget. Here are the known costs and estimates: $10m Initial Planning Taskforce $60-70m Carrier access tolls (Telstra, Optus, TPG) $30m Security architecture & hardening $20-25m Foreign hardware + offshore managed services $5-10m Public awareness, testing & administration Want to know how each allocation is spent? Too bad. Contractors and government use "Commercial-in-Confidence" clauses to keep specific commercial margins and costs hidden from the public eye. A 1300% blowout with no accountability.

Hugh_96 (@Hugh_96) reported@susanmandrews RA seems to be taking quite a unique approach to the women’s rugby program. We have all been through it. Unless it is a significant issue which requires an apology eg Optus/Telstra outages, just put out a holding statement & some spin. RA is lucky not much media interest in rugby
