  Customer care asked me to recharge roaming packs, validity packs, and top-ups, but none work because the SIM cannot connect to any network here (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone AU).

  @ASDGovAu And yes things like the Optus leak should have taught us that this is a bad way to go about things like age verification As i said Great Ingenuity in service of a stupid policy 🤦

  @electricfuture5 @Telstra Lack of data in shopping centres consistently was the main reason for me moving. Was going on for 6+ months. Went into the Telstra shop and they were all on wifi. With Optus now, obviously have their own history but I have had far less issues with them.

  @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.

  @Andrew_Godman @DPRVenjoyer @hisaflog100 It was actually iconic how Optus had already said their network wasn’t usable and then Turnbull came back and asked to buy it anyway and they obviously decided “**** it, we’re not above profiting off your stupidity”.

  I have now been on the phone to @Optus @optus_help for 2hrs and 51mins and am still waiting to speak to the 7th consultant just to replace a sim card that has not been delivered! This is my 3rd attempt to get my new service activated after previously spending 1.5hrs beforehand.

  @StevoMedia Next we will be playing Essendon Collingwood at Optus Stadium on ANZAC Day. What a stupid idea, the showdown should actually be played as either the curtain raiser or the closing game to Gather Round.
