  @antti_engineer @Telstra Signal strength is logarithmic. An additional 3 dBm can be a big difference. @Optus, a partner of Starlink, is claiming that the -115 dBm level is essentially unusable. And there are live measurements where Starlink hovers slightly above and below that number. Also, just look at the measurement in your own app there. The -112 dBm is about bordering going dark red and your own app describes -112 dBm as "Poor".

  @LawrenceWongST Lawerence if you get us some diesel I will continue to overlook what an abysmally ********* mobile & internet service provider Optus is.

  @RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change

  @joshmatz @erayyocak @Al_Grigor Plenty of recent ones from human config changes on ****: - Optus (Nov 2025): Wrong firewall upgrade process selected → nationwide outage, hours of downtime. - Cloudflare (Nov 18 2025): Single config error hit ~20% of global traffic, knocking out X, Uber, etc. - Asana (Feb 2025): Config change overloaded logs, causing server restarts and service disruption. Human error (esp. misconfigs) is still the #1 outage root cause industry-wide per Uptime Institute & ThousandEyes reports. AI isn't unique here.

  @Optus It’s an insane state of affairs that Optus now has to specify “but this time we didn’t let any of our customers pass away by denying them the right to call emergency services”. Crazy that no other telco has ever needed to clarify that

  @Optus TLDR: after being run around for two days and 47mins, the frustrating lack of the lack willingness to own a problem and solve it through their the lack of either ability or care from staff in the call centres. Along with being told it would be an additional seven days..1/2

  Hi @Optus me again, I know you’re not too busy working on your network to reply, given you let customers genuinely die due to network issues, so how about using some time to answer why your remediation staff are using customers private information illegally? #optus
