Christopher (@cjsheldon2012) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@SouthOzJohnny @Optus In the Optus app, go to more (3 dots down the bottom of the page), then profile and scroll down. That’s where I found mine

Susie 🌹 (@suechook) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus Trying to get a refund with you is a bloody joke!Hubby has verified who he is and now you want details on when he opened account 14 years ago ! WTF terrible customer service all for $39 refund

John Bowman (@bow55213735) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Asher_Wolf @pully8 @OAICgov I had a free month, the following day after it expired Optus was compromised. I wanted to cancel my account prior to the day before the free month ended. So I took my modem back, but was told I could only cancel the account if I bought the used modem. If I had a faulty modem YES!

Mikey Nicholson (@Mikey_Nicholson) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@AdelaideMail Get an Optus one. You can call someone for 9’59 and then hang up, ring them back and you won’t be charged (between 8pm and 8am)
-
Miriam Silva (@miriamsilva595) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaTerrible customer service from @Optus taking $500 direct debut from my Dad’s account instead of $70 and not giving him back his money. He has been 5 times to the Optus office and phoned 3 times and they just hang up on him. Very poor customer service. Please fix it
-
gcov (@gcov5) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaOptus we scraped through,never been a customer, now Medibank hacked.... Needs to change,companies holding personal data. Why do they even need to ? After validation the only detail they should store is for payment, no licence, no passport, birthday...
-
Roy (@saroadie) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus no reported outages in my area but going into the 10th hour with no internet or mobile service ? Do you have an update
-
Crowes Eye Photography 📷 (@croweseyephoto) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaDon't think anyone realises within 10 years, it's possible that Onlyfans will be hacked. Just like Optus and Medibank. Doesn't help that the media are blowing it up like it's a potential way to become famous either. It's something everyone on it will eventually live to regret.

Brendan Cullen (@bcullen76) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaGenerally I don't mind Optus sport for football but I have never really taken to Mark Schwarzer. Just think he talks ****!
-
Sian Walden (@sian_walden) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@alanwedesweiler @Optus RIGHT! Its now 3 wks since I ordered & am blown away by the lack of problem solving @Optus has offered given this situation. This is horrific customer service, while ‘out of your control’- what you can control is how you solve an issue quickly - keeping customers happy.

Lisa L 🍋💛 (@LisaLemon09) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@actualeyez @Optus Yeah they are one of those doing this ‘subscription’ invoicing. They also don’t issue a bill for you to check before hand just an invoice after they have deducted the amount. What if they mess up & over charge & take your money if you do have it too? I bet not refunded quickly.
-
Keegan J. Sard (@keegansard) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaHey @Optus - your app is broken again! DM me.
-
A/Prof Grant Davies (@GrantTDavies) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaHey @Optus your complaints process is broken. Made a complaint online on 24 Feb. The response was someone would contact me within 2 bus days. SMS from Nathaniel an ‘Expert’ in the customer resolution team on day 2 saying he’d make contact within another 2 bus days. Crickets since
-
Nikki May 📚 (@NixLib) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaSwitched to @Optus 1 day a go and regretting it already. 1 phone call, 2 chats and now I have to go to a store because they sent me a dodgy sim. Surely as a new customer you would send them a new one rather than inconvenience them. RIP @virginmobileaus

stratEG by wade (@stratEGbywade) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus @Icy_Remote I'm also trying to register a SIM for a non English speaking friend. Online help is not working

anthony ashton (@bloodhoundau) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@verbaliza @Optus I used to have that with @Telstra what a mob of c. Ill never do business with them again

ArchiesMum (@LizzieGeddes) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@MFWitches @Optus Well pleased to say I have never liked them so lucky this time!!! Gladys says it all and the smug insensitive ignorant CEO. Both a disgrace and disappointment

Littleaud (@littleaud1) reported@LeeshieV @Optus No problem with Optus on my phone.
-
James (@ladsgeog) reported@PGJohnson77 @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup Adelaide Oval and Optus are fine because AO is narrow and Optus has raised seats. Agree that the MCG is a very poor viewing experience.
-
bro (@bro_1980) reported@Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup Get rid of the mcg, Adelaide oval and Optus. Not designed for football. Terrible to watch a game
-
TRPoint.pics 🏳️🌈 (@thatfancypear) reportedYou will hear this more and more... Australia needs another mobile network operator, this will head into a colesworth situation and everyone will suffer.... Wholesaling isn't an option anymore because Telstra and Optus game the system Mark my words, Telop

Jack The Aussie (@hammerofleft) reported@amagickeagle999 You stupid ****. She was mouthing off about increasing standards and enacting penalties for service outages after the Optus crash but has done **** all. So you partisan ******** get some facts, she ****** up.
-
Cheryl (@Cheryl53111693) reported@andrewrdn463 Put a woman in charge of a company like Telstra and Optus and you can be sure they will **** it up.
-
Ferdie Khnopff (@FKhnopff) reported@Democracy_Duck @ABCmediawatch Are you suggesting giving the network back to public ownership? To an organisation like NBN where rejects from Telstra & Optus go to work? (Including Telstra's so-called risk management 'experts' BTW) With ACMA keeping an eye on things?

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.
