  @abcnews Patterson reckons companies make errors? This is unadulterated negligence. @Optus has failed in their *legal* responsibility to keep their customers’ data safe. APP11. Penny pinching on security while dishing it out for incompetent executives is a recipe for disaster.

  @Optus You’ve had numerous DM’s from me. And phone calls and live chats. A case manager is assigned. This is a bigger issue tho. And you guys need to recognise this.

  @VicRoads @VicGovDoT Just change the license numbers please and issue new ones. And charge that back to Optus thanks.

  @nadinevoncohen @patrickkeneally Only contact I've had from Optus has been apologies for our NBN dropping out. Which is roughly about ten times a day. But hey, who could have foreseen the copper technology solution not being up to the job?

  Anybody experiencing issues with @optus network? Signal interruptions are regular and ongoing. I often get dropped out of important meetings and seminars because of network issues. This is beyond annoyance #Optus

  @MrXBob @Matt92644813 @9NewsMelb Hmm i would of thought CEOs on the big bucks had some influence into important decisions. Anyway you are getting a bit too aggressive for a non optus customer. So move on 🙋 #OptusHack

  @sezzoooooooooo lol no. But just don’t be overwhelmed by what’s going on. It’s going to be an annoyance more than anything. However this Optus issue will put everyone on alert. Which will be a good thing.

  @somewherein84 Or insta! I saw a woman yesterday who blamed Dan for Penny Wong requesting Optus pay for the replacement passports etc 🤯I shouldn't have lowered myself to her level but I couldn't help myself

  @maxii30 @Optus @SwoopLuke Found it to be terrible on the Craigieburn line. Specifically around Essendon

  John Ryan (@sitegeister) reported 23 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  Why should Optus pay fines? If you’re a customer, maybe retrospectively pay higher bills and ask for assurances and guarantee.They just did what any shareholder-driven multinational is actually tasked with doing.

  @Optus hi, any word on when the internet outage affecting Northcote Vic will be fixed? It's been down since about 2 o'clock.

  Holy **** the supercell storm destroyed 2 of the BOXES Optus and NBN modems.

  @BenSmee @Optus I was in this boat a few months back. After rebooting my router numerous times, they booked a NBN technician to come and have a look. And then I found reset button on my NBN box and it fixed the problem. I’ve since added Optus Technician to my resume.

  @timrosen35 @Optus I disagree. Optus Mobile customer service is better than @VodafoneAU customer service 👍

  @OptusSport Streaming issues are stopping me watch the LFC game. I pay for Optus Fetch ONLY to watch LFC games live. NOT happy with Optus especially as the cost has got up too.

  @Telstra What kind of offers you got for @optus customers who were hacked? #OptusHack Been a loyal customer 12 years (3 x phones). Jumping ship coz it can happen again.

  @MishStephenson Putting it simply, Optus are paying them a salary to help sell mobile phones.

  @Optus doesn't protect your data, they lock you in contracts, they don't pay for your passports in an event of #cyberattack, they abandon their customers. I would rather trust a pigeon over @Optus as my service provider of communication #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach

  Rebecca Powell (@rebeccajpowell) reported 56 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  It's taken 2 weeks for #Optus to inform me that my driver's licence data has been compromised. 2 weeks 🤬 Ridiculous that it should take so long & that I'm the one going to the hassle of addressing the issue. Of course they'll have no delay in sending out my bill 😒

  @Aussie_Dad5 @Zhshshdjsjsjs You’re so retarded it’s embarrassing. The fact you think turning your phone off means they can’t collect your data shows your IQ. 1. Turning off your phone isn’t turning off your phone it pings to a cell tower constantly. Most phones go into a “deep sleep” mode in which where gps, microphone and network are still active 2. If they wanted to collect data they wouldn’t need an alert to do it. They would just go to Optus and Telstra, give them your number and get everything they want. Or just ask Apple or google to comply.

  Our @optus NBN internet/Phone service problem has been fixed. My mother can watch online movies and music videos on youtube. The internet is her only source of entertainment

• 
  Eagles. Stats and random. (@EaglestatsNW) reported 8 minutes ago

  It's not possible for that to happen. I think not quite as bad as at Optus, both require a full clearing of the decks across the whole club. This isn't a rebuild in culture which is clearly what's required. It's just collecting players & not making them gel

• 
  Ladybugfunk (@ladybugfunk) reported 8 minutes ago

  @OMGTheMess She was supposed to implement a new BCP after the Optus outage. What are we paying her to do? Other than drink champagne on her business class flights? What has she actually achieved? Does anyone know?

• 
  Rob Ryan (@Berts_Folly) reported 10 minutes ago

  @CharlesSzulc Telstra will appear before a Senate inquiry into its outage, starting next Friday. Senator Henderson is involved in the (apparently ongoing) Optus one. It'll be be interesting if she now asks questions of Telstra, as will be forthcoming media reports.

  Ask Grok: Can ISPs block VOIP? 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. TCP/IP allows spam filters at the node level. This is one small example. TCP/IP remains neutral and ethical.
