  @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

  @ThoughtVacancy @wayne_kag @AlboMP It is a problem and it bloody well exists!!! Ever tried cancelling Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel? Try listening to Optus's "give me the simple life" hold music for 2 hours.

  @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.

  @Optus Swear down you’re the only company that goes before the public holiday and not after. No wonder people are queuing up to leave

  @TheBarmyArmy I have never seen such an ugly stadium before. MCG and Optus are 1000 times better than this ground.

  Optus offered me Mydata 5gb, they'll explain to you... bargain price, and there is unlimited I been a customer since they've began in Brisbane, and I used Optus since then. Even phoned and explained to name it Optus. because of the page, they needed a business, asking suggestions

  Hey @Optus @optus_help I've been told I need to come here to get help. No mobile data, internet, can't send or receive mms texts. 4 hours 3 Optus humans couldn't help Friday night. They lodged a case. Ask a few more questions. Day 5 no resolution yet. No service is not cool

  @Optus Me again @Optus, just checking in, when your staff name drop people’s fiancée, who Optus are aware was involved in previous domestic violence incidents, on a complaint that doesn’t involve said fiance, is this an approved intimidation tactic by Optus?

  one of the main things preventing the Dockers from turning Optus Stadium into a “fortress” is West Coast being historically bad. it’s actually unintentionally sabotaging Freo because teams gain so much confidence when they play here against the Eagles

  @deniseshrivell 5G modem has never worked better. I then found out they tried the same thing with my dad and he fell for their reasons. He has an old computer that doesn’t even reach the speeds the NBN plan they put him on can reach. Boo Optus Boo iiNet!
