  @KalliopiOlympou Hi Weerona, so that we are on the same page, are you facing issues with your Optus home internet connection or streaming the match in general? As we are not broadcasting the FIFA World cup anymore. We don't have the broadcasting rights. If your internet is working fine and it is a streaming issue then you will have to contact SBS or the broadcaster. On the other hand if your are facing issues with your Optus home internet connection, then please send us a direct message with the details to proceed. Kartik

  @LydiaAmesha Sorry to hear you may be experiencing issues with your Optus internet. If the issue is only persistent whilst viewing the SBS stream, it would most likely be an issue on their end. However, if you are facing issues with your Optus network in general outside the SBS stream, please send us a Private Message, so we can look into the issue for you further. -Jay

  Working in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW

  @Optus @maxxthum Can you also stopped getting hacked while you’re at it and fix 000?

  Optus privacy breach hits 51k White Pages cases; architecture takeaway: enforce zero-trust, data minimisation, and robust access controls to reduce blast radius. Align incident response with ACSC guidance and SOCI Act obligations. #auscyber

  AI helped me save $270 a year tonight. Not by doing anything fancy. It just helped me survive the telco maze. The Optus bill started at $251.30/month. After a long support chat, it dropped to $228.80/month. That is $22.50/month saved. $270/year. The real win was not the discount. The real win was AI helping me: - Ask better questions - Check the maths - Avoid payout traps - Push past the first “best offer” - Get the final number confirmed in writing They first offered a small plan downgrade. Then we asked about loyalty. Then retention. Then the numbers did not add up. AI spotted the issue. One plan change had not actually been processed. So, we pushed again. Final result: Old bill: $251.30/month New bill: $228.80/month Yearly saving: $270 AI did not magically save me money. It just stopped me from giving up while the telco maze tried to win. Next target: Telstra internet.

  @Togetherdec Australians can buy a mobile phone without identification but they can't connect to the network to use it without identification. Telcos are collecting & storing vast quantities of personal data. Optus iiNet TPG iPrimus Dodo already breached/hacked. Our Privacy Act is a joke.

  @eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.
