David O'Brien (he/him) (@david_obrien) reported from Geelong, VictoriaIf 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.

Cory (@cmplus_info) reported from Geelong, Victoria@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.

Cory (@corymedia) reported from Geelong, VictoriaIf 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.

Monicasmeow🐈 (@monicasmeow) reported from Geelong, Victoria@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.

MsH (@H_the_Cats_Fan) reported from Geelong, Victoria@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.

Anoop Z (@anupelectro) reported@amaysimAU @Optus no network at eagle junction station. Brisbane. Horrible agreement with amaysim for not sharing all sites for coverage. Shame.
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedHoly f*uck trying to get an Optus data SIM was a nightmare. The usual system at Harvey Norman wouldn't work, no one could figure out why, had to call Optus support and do it manually. And I had to bend over and get privacy rubber glove, credit check the whole works.

AussiEx.au (@aussiExau) reportedPhone 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

Kerani Cameron (@CameronKer50028) reported@FinancialReview Get an Optus contract so galore might just win mine was just Telstra we have asked about hem to stop can go do Optus to help sort it out and give the business to Singapore we can’t afford this we still have our id and birth certificate
-
MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@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
-
Mike (@stocksworldbull) reported@TeamYouTube I contacted Optus team. They said the issue is at YouTube end. YouTube support need to refresh the sync for me. Please help. I have been paying for my optus subhub services since October 2025 and haven't been able to use youtube premium because it shows inactive on YouTube app.

sir Krabs (@edhowes2) reported@CheapshotDai115 @CallofDuty @Treyarch Okay so if you add an Optus skin that’s completely fair? There’s Optus creatures in BO3 zombies so technically it counts… What about space suits? Moon was set in space so technically that counts… We’ve had ghosts in the campaign so how about ghost skins? See the problem…
