  1. 2001 v Carl (OO) Winless from the first three games, the Crows travelled to a dreary Optus Oval in horrible thunder, lightning and rain desperate for a win. Despite the atrocious conditions, the Crows led by new skipper Mark Ricciuto’s four goals, ground out a heroic win.

  @KendallJenner Optus struggles to cover here too. It isn't as bad as Vodafone, but it doesn't seem to have any better signal than Telstra & they're like double the price. It's in the small hours of the morning when signal drops. One NBN fibre connection between 150 struggles.

  @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.

  Well done Optus, no service for two days while they update their network, and possibly won't return until the 17th - Tuesday.

  @Optus when are you going to remove the overhead cable you cut down and left on my driveway in brisbane, months ago. 4 times I've called. Do you believe in customer service?
