  AI helped me save $270 a year tonight. Not by doing anything fancy. It just helped me survive the telco maze. The Optus bill started at $251.30/month. After a long support chat, it dropped to $228.80/month. That is $22.50/month saved. $270/year. The real win was not the discount. The real win was AI helping me: - Ask better questions - Check the maths - Avoid payout traps - Push past the first “best offer” - Get the final number confirmed in writing They first offered a small plan downgrade. Then we asked about loyalty. Then retention. Then the numbers did not add up. AI spotted the issue. One plan change had not actually been processed. So, we pushed again. Final result: Old bill: $251.30/month New bill: $228.80/month Yearly saving: $270 AI did not magically save me money. It just stopped me from giving up while the telco maze tried to win. Next target: Telstra internet.

  @villaminium They were absolutely fleecing us towards the end of that spill though… Had a mate who worked at Optus and he said there was hundreds of British customers who were only with them for the football package. Seemed an insanely stupid deal to let go of imo

  @bowling23 I was at the game last year , at Optus. They defended better that day. The suns still defend poorly at times. Today, they relied on their offence. North are bad defensively.. Suns are not too much better.

  Telstra MVNOs ████████████ (higher cost) Optus MVNOs ██████░░░░░░ (mid-range) Vodafone MVNOs ████░░░░░░░░ (cheapest) Conclusion: We pay more because only one network actually works.

  Hey @Optus how is it that I cannot pay you MORE money to add a device to my plan because of a "contract limitation" I was never told about to begin with. Worst customer experience I've ever had, will be cancelling all my services as will my friends and family.
