Claude Opus 4.7 released, the most capable Opus model yet. It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

I don’t usually take to LinkedIn to air frustrations, but my recent experience with my internet service provider fibertime™ has been unacceptable and raises serious concerns about both service reliability and customer support standards. I am currently unable to access two specific websites when connected to my fibre network. The moment I switch to mobile data or a different WiFi network, those same sites work perfectly. This clearly indicates a network-related issue — yet it continues to be treated as a generic user-side problem. What is even more concerning is the level of customer service: Queries on the WhatsApp support channel are only acknowledged after an hour or more Chats are repeatedly reassigned between multiple agents before anyone takes ownership If you don’t respond within 15 minutes, the chat is quickly closed Customers are expected to be patient, yet that same patience is not extended in return The tone from one of the support agents, Khanyisile, was dismissive and came across as outright rude When asked about resolution timelines, I was told there is “no specific turnaround time” — which raises a serious question: are customers expected to wait indefinitely for resolution? It is simply not realistic to expect customers to remain on standby for extended periods, waiting for a response, only to have their query closed due to delayed replies on their end. Despite clearly communicating that I had already completed troubleshooting steps, I was instructed to repeat them because it is “standard procedure.” There was no effort to assess the situation based on the information already provided. What makes this even more frustrating is that I have previously been able to access these websites without issue. The problem is new, specific to the fibre connection, and yet there is no meaningful investigation beyond scripted responses. At a time when reliable internet is essential, this kind of service delivery falls far below acceptable standards. I trust that the relevant team will take this seriously and address both the technical issue and the customer experience gaps highlighted here. I would appreciate a prompt resolution or escalation from the appropriate team.

Well played Dylan Venter and Alex Macphail in getting this one over the line 👊 Looking forward to a powerful long-term partnership with the Nashua LTD team going forward!
