BRODA (@RazeBannon) reported@BritishHodl Grok can an ISP block voice over IP? Yes, ISPs can block Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic at their network level, and many do so in practice. This is technically feasible using tools like port blocking, deep packet inspection (DPI), and other traffic management techniques. How ISPs Block VoIP ISPs control the core network infrastructure, so they can inspect and filter traffic before it reaches customers. Common methods include: Port-based blocking**: Traditional VoIP often uses specific ports like UDP 5060/5061 for SIP (signaling) and a range of ports (e.g., 10000–20000) for RTP (media/voice). ISPs can simply drop traffic on these ports. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)**: This examines not just headers but packet contents, signatures, packet sizes, timing, and protocol behavior to identify VoIP even if it uses non-standard ports or obfuscation. DPI can dynamically detect and block SIP, RTP, or app-specific patterns (e.g., Skype, WhatsApp calls). IP address or domain blacklisting**: Blocking known servers of VoIP providers. Protocol anomaly detection or traffic shaping**: Dropping or throttling UDP-heavy, low-latency streams typical of voice calls. Real-World Examples Certain countries and carriers (e.g., in the Middle East, Morocco, Philippines, or places with state telecom monopolies) block VoIP to protect traditional phone revenue or for regulatory reasons. Mobile providers like Optus 4G or others have blocked SIP traffic. Corporate/school networks or bandwidth-limited ISPs sometimes block or deprioritize VoIP to conserve resources. China has historically blocked VoIP, though workarounds emerged over time. Limitations and Challenges for Complete Blocking Encryption and obfuscation**: Modern VoIP (e.g., over WebRTC, HTTPS, or apps like Signal/WhatsApp) is harder to detect reliably. DPI isn't foolproof against randomized ports, variable packet patterns, or VPN-like wrapping. VPNs and tunnels**: Users can often bypass blocks by routing traffic through a VPN, which encrypts and hides the VoIP signature. Evasion techniques**: Providers and users adapt with port hopping, STUN/TURN servers, or proxies. False positives**: Overly aggressive blocking can disrupt other UDP-based services (gaming, video streaming). Complete, unbreakable blocking is difficult long-term without also harming general internet performance, but partial or effective blocking for most users is very achievable. Why ISPs Do This Reasons include protecting legacy telephony revenue, complying with regulations, managing bandwidth, reducing congestion, or enforcing content policies. In summary, yes—ISPs have both the capability and precedent for blocking VoIP, primarily via DPI and port controls, though motivated users can often circumvent it. If you're dealing with a specific ISP or scenario, details could help narrow down options.

John Lang (@jdhlang) reported@EVERALDATLARGE Agree Everald. Yes there was a system fault, and yes 000 Failed. And Yes after the Optus problems the Labor Minister for Communication put in place to hopefully fix the problem. Calling for government to leave is a bridge too far. It will take time to fix. It’s not down every day

The West Coast Beagle (@WCEBeagle) reported@AJG_87 @MiguelS92940618 This is where I’m at. Looking at yesterday alone we had the personnel on park to beat Richmond. Can blame poor kicking but it was the same against Port & North at Optus. We have gone backwards post bye If we have the personnel then for me it’s the coaching staff that are failing

Tweet Whisperer David J Smith (@Ausshot3Dave) reported@strangerous10 And they pushed back at global roaming as well. Happens as a default in most countries. Would save a lot of problems if Telstra or Optus shared their networks when network problems arose with any communications provider in Australia 🇦🇺 @AlboMP

Eagles. Stats and random. (@EaglestatsNW) reported@WestCoastEagles so Milan derby at Optus. In what part of the oval are they going to situate the rather tiny pitch? And are they erecting seating on a surface that's already having problems?

Jeanette-End the Zionist Genocide @WSWS_Udates (@JaniceB72627796) reported@james00000001 I now think not an Optus problem as my husband received the alarm and he is on the same service as me. If I don't get anything I will contact Optus to find out why not.

john ****** smith (@jfsmithcnt) reported@BigDog_USA @Telstra You must be deaf and blind. It was a massive outrage when Optus went down too. Not everything is about an agenda **** head.

Brendan Kelly (@brendan_kelly9) reported@nicko_316 Thats bad news for Brizvegas if you’re right. Freo will be favourites in that match up at Optus.

AzTecFitness (@AzTecFit) reported@JHewy23 @wigley_matthew @FootyonNine By “this crap” do you mean obvious fact?? So Optus stadium is Freo’s home ground. If they had 4 other sides that use it as their home ground too, but Freo had twice the supporter base of those clubs so can dominate the crowd noise each week and barely leave WA you wouldn’t see that as an enormous advantage over the competition??? Of course it is. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong at all, they have to play the other teams that occupy the MCG as home also. It’s also not any fault of Collingwood to have the biggest supporter base in the land either. Both points can be correct at the same time. But there’s no doubt it’s an enormous advantage every year for Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne and Hawthorn….
