  Oh, but @triplej is far-less-national than I understood. Still a big chunk of this drive where neither broadcast radio or @optus signal penetrate.

  @Optus Been over an hour now… Great to see how a 20+ year customer is treated. At this rate I may as well just save my time and go with another provider.

  @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.

  @BHolmesDev Nah you’re not quite right. Codex 100% of the times. I’ve literally ask to plan tasks so many times to outputs and codex and the ask both to choose what’s the best one. Literally 100% times both choose codex plan. It just doesn’t make sense to use Optus, you’ll get bugs and bad implementation all the time

  Another #TripleZero failure has been reported. @newscomauHQ reported a nationwide Optus #outage yesterday where calls to 000 did not connect. Australians should not have to accept “intermittent issues” as normal. We need enforceable reliability standards and better regulation.

  @zanofc @footyindustryAU Not really, Perth couldn’t sell out the opener at OPTUS stadium anyway, what makes you think they’ll get more against North Korea? Honestly, the atmosphere is crap being a rectangle ground at a round stadium. HBF will be 100% better and the players will enjoy it too

  @gerardmmkl Are News Corp possibly nervous that Foxtel may lose the NRL rights? Because I'm quite sure that people will follow the NRL to Stan or whichever other streaming service the coverage may end up at instead, just as there was a kind of exodus from Optus to Foxtel about 25 years ago.

  Hi @Optus me again, I know you’re not too busy working on your network to reply, given you let customers genuinely die due to network issues, so how about using some time to answer why your remediation staff are using customers private information illegally? #optus

  Is it crazy to say Optus Stadium’s turf at Origin looked better than this? A sentence I never thought I’d say
