  • EthicalAdviser
    Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    After telling the optus chat line that my house had burned down and that I had tried repeatedly to get the nbn cancelled (which I am still paying for), she asked me, and I kid you not, if I had tried turning it off and turning it back on again. I…I don’t know how to answer.

    Stephen Viller (@viller) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus we've had no home broadband since this morning in Chapel Hill (Qld 4069), with the MyOptus check network status saying there is a problem and it is being investigated. Any news on the outcome of the investigation and when we will have our network and phone working again?

    Anyone else having issues with Optus' BS new HUB setup?

  • debmberger
    Deb Berger (@debmberger) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus Thank you. It’s a pity your chat help couldn’t check this. Or at least advise me to look at it. I was asked to reset my phone, remove my SIM card, change various settings. Each of these solutions were suggested multiple times despite advising none of them corrected the issue.

    @EVillainess @markrayfield2 @Jeremy_Kirk Better check the ACMA carrier legislation and then the audit requirements. 👍 Optus have failed to maintain customer privacy. Failed to secure the private data AND have failed to protect data IMO this was a deliberate act from cabal to force a cyber security event in the future.

    What the hell are Stefanovic and Canavan on Today talking about? They are saying Gladys is the person to fix Optus. FFS 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    @ClareONeilMP I haven’t been an Optus customer since 2004 yet I received a letter from the CEO that my Data had been leaked. It’s left me worried.

  • EthicalAdviser
    Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    The Optus fellow told me to DM me the problem and give him ‘as much info as possible’. Hoo boy, he’s asking for it.

  • mr_mouse
    Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus is the a known issue with Fetch streaming? I’m on Optus NBN and have no issues with any other internet/streaming services. Streamed channels not reliable, on demand (e.g. BBC catch-up) not working at all. Done soft reset, still broken.

  • Flansq
    Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Does anyone else find Optus 5G regularly shows as connected with full service, but no data will transfer? Websites won’t open, apps won’t connect etc?

  • BorisOsery
    Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @OptusNewsRoom I ordered a SIM card online on the 25/09/20. The Optus site says 3/5 business days delivery time. Optus can you tell me should your advertising be 30/50 business days delivery?? It’s the 12/10/20??? 🤬 WTF

    hi you keep trying to charge me $500 for general use damages on screen/pixels UNDERNEATH the screen on a lease phone I had. You know that's a manufacturer fault right? Are you ok @Optus can you fix this stupidity thanks.

  • DevDacian
    Dacian (@DevDacian) reported

    GLM is a lot less "forgiving" than Opus/GPT; use these techniques in your long workflows to avoid many GLM errors: 1⃣ incremental output - don't output at the end, make your agents output incrementally while working 2⃣ checkpoint writes - glm agents can timeout very easily during reasoning phases, so have them output checkpoints to prevent this 3⃣ tighten prompts - glm seems a lot dumber than opus/gpt at figuring out what the correct action is, so tighten up your prompts to remove any ambiguity 4⃣ negative & positive enforcement - opus/gpt generally do the right thing if given the reasons why that is the right thing to do, but glm benefits from explicitly being told what to not do since it loves to misbehave 5⃣ tolerate output variance - glm is worse at outputting correct formats. Tighten up output specification prompts but also consider tolerating greater output variance & using deterministic output cleanup to format things correctly 6⃣ verify outputs, auto retry - glm can return seemingly "successful" but without writing any outputs, it can return weird tooling info in its outputs, there are lots fo weird things that can happen. Ensure to check the outputs for correctness, diagnose the cause of failures & have automated system in place to re-try failed spawns using prompts which instruct the retried agent to correct the errors Perhaps I've just been spoiled by Optus/Gpt but GLM feels quite "rough around the edges" in comparison.

  • MissIgraine
    Miss Igraine (@MissIgraine) reported

    @clarkes signing that deal last year for tpg to operate over Optus networks in regional areas. So that's good. We need to come up with a way for network failovers when these incidents happen. But it's tricky... if the biggest operator goes down, how would this work in practice.

    @Starlink Internet and mobile services? Optus often down, 000 emergency has cost lives when down. Now it’s Telstra’s turn!!

  • Offerandextend
    LM (@Offerandextend) reported

    @Wolfie__Bear @Cotty_Merv @Telstra It’s like he’s hoping Telstra will pick him or thank him publicly? Imagine my frustration when a major corporation that keeps increasing their prices can’t even get a service working which puts people at risk 🤡. It’s like when Optus went out and people literally died

  • CMaccaa7

    can’t watch the game but is it pissing down at Optus? Why can’t anyone kick straight #AFLFreoSwans

  • Antony_Clements

    @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra That would be vodafone followed by optus and then telstra. Before anyone comes after me, vodafone went down for several months in 2010/2011, optus had a data breach in 2022 that affected nearly 10 million customers. Telstra just inconvenienced people.

  • CallieBuddy

    @externallylaws Can confirm the outage impacted the wilds of NT - where there is no Optus service.

  • zzbrgood
    Bruce Goodwin (@zzbrgood) reported

    @lodo25 @Ausbobsmit I’m usually in favour of government owned utilities but in my opinion the only privatised function that appears to work is communications. If there was only Telstra we’d be paying top dollar with no alternatives. I’m with Optus and my wife with Telstra so there wasn’t a problem.

  • BiripiGuri
    Dim Sim (@BiripiGuri) reported

    @JohnTheMaestro @Telstra No service australia wideThey are the qantas of communications in Aus. They own all infrastucture and lines, they just rent them out to Optus and other providers. Ive been telstra for 25 years, this is largest ive expereinced in that 25 years, not too bad.

    Optus stadium turf has been shockingly bad lately. Players slipping everywhere as that top layer is shifting too easily, reckon we’ll see an injury soon
