Victor Yong (@BigV2011WCE) reported from Westfield, Western AustraliaMy NBN is completely down in Bull Creek all morning since 8:30am this morning. Optus said there is a line issue at my premises but it’s completely down. It’s an ongoing issue with no fix at all. This is the only service I can get @GrayConnolly

H. Adam in Aus 🇦🇺🇮🇩🕋💧🌊 (@AdamVW1958) reported from Westfield, Western AustraliaDon't you find it a little ironic that when you call a phone company you get put on hold, only to hear a recorded message minutes later saying call back later, too busy. 😡🤬😡 #optus #fail

Dylan (@d__mac77) reported from Westfield, Western AustraliaI definitely recommend getting the 661 shuttle to Optus Stadium (instead of the train if you're already in the city), until the final stop (Causeway) I was the only person on board! No problems social distancing here!
-
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

committed2fitness (@yourvirtualpt) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@AFL - why would you send the Sydney v West Coast to the MCG? No one cares who wins and the attendance will be poor. Guaranteed 60k at Optus! @AFL360

dangerbeard (@thedangerbeard) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@Websta_Black That’s weird, your wireless network isn’t dependent on your internet connection, unless Optus have done something incredibly stupid with your router ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

H. Adam in Aus 🇦🇺🇮🇩🕋💧🌊 (@AdamVW1958) reported from Westfield, Western AustraliaSo I rang Optus because they have completely stuffed up my account. At 7.30 Eastern they said closes at 8pm but no one answering in technical support so best you call again tomorrow he said Great service #optus

Sarah (@sezlloydy) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@Raven72782048 @RohanCT Massive difference is the fact the WACA wasn’t a drop in, Optus is. Was never going to be like the WACA and people that thought/think it is are idiots

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.

Kristen Holden (@kholden) reported@LeeshieV @Optus And instead of celebrating not getting this garbage you let them know?
-
J Labs (@jnj_pro) reported@Optus Is it possible to have more visibility to how @Optus 'improve' its user experience, as a 10+ year user, I'm feeling the quality of your service and apps is downgrading overtime, and there is no sign of going up.

Satoshi Goy (@satoshigoy) reported@Optus Thanks, but that doesn’t address what actually happened. I was in the emergency broadcast area with a compatible device. There was no Optus coverage, but there was coverage from another network. Despite that, I never received the AusAlert. If emergency alerts can’t be delivered when your carrier is unavailable, even though another network is in range, that’s a significant issue. In an emergency, people shouldn’t miss life-saving warnings because of which carrier they’re with. Can you clarify whether AusAlerts are expected to be delivered in this scenario, or is this a limitation of the current system?

MorgoSmisho (@morgosmisho) reported@Optus ordered a phone upgrade and eSIM. Got the email saying the order number would arrive next. But nothing. Told the order wasn’t processed ‘yet’. Had this before. They say order again and you end up with 2 accounts. When you cancel one, it incurs fees and a debt agency. Scam.

anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@MichaelRuyg i had to get starlink service for power outages to maintain some ability to contact emergency services if needed. i have backup power. mad not to in a bushfire and flood prone area, sadly nbn co, optus, vodafone and telstra are clearly incompetent.

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!
