  @challinor_dave @Telstra @Optus Try saying that to a Gov entity…oh wait, you call them and then hang on a call hold for hours…that’s another kind of problem!

  @Optus Swear down you’re the only company that goes before the public holiday and not after. No wonder people are queuing up to leave

  @OMGTheMess The problem is, if the Libs got in whilst that program was being rolled out: today's batteries would be replaced with traditional car batteries, older inverters would be used, they pull ye ol optus cable and repurpose it for electrical wiring. Solar replaced with wind etc...

  @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.

  Customer care asked me to recharge roaming packs, validity packs, and top-ups, but none work because the SIM cannot connect to any network here (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone AU).

  @optus 4G collapsed along Dynon Road, Footscray, as per usual ever since 5G started. Can’t even watch cable news. Before 5G used to get 70mbps up and down, now 4g average about 10Mbps dn (tonight even less) and about 1 to 3 up. How is allowed?

  Phone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia

  @ollierafc @Optus What a croc of crap. It's electronic. Just because the stores are shut on a public holiday. The electronic version doesn't shut down..
