  If there's one silver lining after the recent Optus and Medibank hacks here in AU, then it's the fact that orgs seem to finally be putting a focus onto their security from the top down. Today I had another great workshop with a new customer to assess their overall #cloudsecurity.

  @kaine177 Optus oval was built closer to MCG dimensions … that would play a part, but yes if you think back, they didn’t play well in the hubs last year either. It’s a shame … No Gaff doesn’t help … and our weather is shite compared to over there. It’s proper winter footy.

  @3AWNeilMitchell scare mongering again on the @Optus data breach. Mitchell needs to be part of the solution and not the problem. Although it’s a nice reprieve from the constant @DanielAndrewsMP bashing.

  @Optus Hi Aman, I appreciate that but I was told that before when I was promised multiple phone calls that never eventuated. Never mind the FTTN service we are getting drops out constantly and isn’t as reliable as the previous DSL service at my old address.

  At least if Leeds get relegated, I can cancel my Optus Sports subscription & watch the Championship on BeIn.

  If the .@Optus network wasn’t so bad and .@VodafoneAU wasn’t ridiculously panicked as to whether I can pay (because they made it clear they think I don’t make enough money), I’d be looking for a better network.

  @Kate3015 I wonder if when he rushed up to Singapore about fuel if he said anything about what he was going to do to Optus? They will react the Singapore Govt. in 1993 my company began building the Optus Network, I dealt with the team in Singapore, trust me they will payback.

  @Optus Congratulations @Optus your incompetence has led me to @amaysimAU which are far far cheaper! You just lost a 30+ year customer. Well done 🤡 #auspol

  @pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra I was with them for years, then went straight to Aussie Broadband! One of the many benefits is that it has Aussie call centres & tech support.

  @SulloReport Moving it from Brisbane would kill it. There’s **** all around Optus stadium, Adelaide is boring, Sydney won’t turn up. The only option is Brisbane and Suncorp. Never been but can only imagine the buzz Caxton street has over the weekend.

  @AnikaWells @Optus @acccgovau Verification emails with codes are taking 1–3 hours to reach Optusnet users’ inboxes, making them useless since most codes expire in 5–30 minutes. A search online shows plenty of people describing this issue. Result: locked out of accounts.

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.
