Stuart Main (@stumain22) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@PatrickGormanMP @acccgovau They are all dodgy. I used to work at Telstra and the way they would train you to sell products was usually not in the customers best interest. Top down sales tactics usually the go to. Optus are guilty of the same tactics as they tried to rip me off as well

West Coast Eagles (@WestCoastEagles) reported from Westfield, Western Australia“I’m sure they’re disappointed. We’ve had magnificent support for 30 odd years. We haven’t let them down too often. We’re expecting a full house this week, our supporters have been fantastic at Optus.” Simpson on fans

Lainie (@lainieaquietoz) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@markje4 @cheryl_kernot I only became an Optus customer when they bought out Virgin and I left them a couple of years ago. I was told they will delete all past customers details when this is all sorted but as it's an ongoing issue they don't know when that will be. Fanfuckingtastic

Amy 🐺👩💻🏡 (@Amys_Kapers) reported from Westfield, Western AustraliaBeen on an Optus plan for barely 2 months and have already had to sort out 3 separate issues with glitches or things broken with their systems 😩 And each time I have to spend time and mental energy fixing something they broke 😩

West Coast Eagles (@WestCoastEagles) reported from Westfield, Western Australia“With not much footy being played yet on Lathlain and Optus is a bit hard. The career savers have a bit more cushion, support.” Barrass on grass cats

Sarah (@sezlloydy) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@lkmaher33 You're right they have, 25 years ago. Has changed in that time. Did you see the crowd at the Origin last year? Was the largest ever crowd at Optus prior to the Bledisloe cup game. Also had 44k for the NRL double header last year at Optus. Not bad for an AFL state

▪️▫️DAVID▪️▫️ (@turtlemagpies) reported@Telstra What a disgrace that each Telstra customer has to individually apply for compensation for the outages last week. Really shows what you think of your customers. Just provide free data like Optus did you scabs. Pathetic 😡 #telstra #telstraoutage
-
Theofatcat (@Theofatcat) reportedI’m wondering if Telstra Optus etc will cope on Monday 27th when all the emergency services etc are planned to be delivered to phones
-
Fred the Mist🌫 (@FredSpider) reported@jfwfreo @D_LittleproudMP Exactly. I live remotely, and the local tower broke down. It took 3 weeks for Optus to arrive. Meanwhile I used the local pay phone most days to conduct business and to phone concerned friends and relatives. Littleproud has no idea how the remote live. He’s just another National
-
Jason Anders (@Jet_Anders) reported@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?

ramrod (@Corlett3jays58) reported@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

Humpy (@sirhumpyAU) reported@TweetTreet @tim_blee That's bullshit, devices EFTPOS and similar devices that run on 4G/5G can use other networks, and a bit of business continuity planning would have a backup network, even for a small business, like running down to Officeworks and buying an OPTUS prepaid SIM.

Grandy Promenade (@RCT_10) reportedWhy ******** am I not at optus

Karl Pharks 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 (@Karl_Pharks) reportedThis happens because traitorous Australian companies sent jobs offshore to India. The Indians stole the customer databases and set up scamming operations on an industrial scale. Here are how many jobs these ******* companies off-shored. ANZ: 14,300 jobs Commonwealth Bank: 10,000+ NAB: 7,350+ Westpac: 2,000+ Telstra: 10,000+ Optus: 4,000+ Vodafone Group: 2,900+

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.

James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported@MiddleMoney @aussiewongm @Anneeokeefe I'm pretty sure Metro went down during the Optus outages last year. But restoration time was quicker iirc.
