  @eevblog Maybe Optus doesn't want you to leave and stop paying them, even if they are related to the network? I can only assume here that Dodo is less expensive than Optus, and that is the reason for you wanting to migrate.

  Regional reality check: Telstra = service. Optus = maybe. Vodafone = forget it. If only one network works outside the cities, that’s not a market — that’s a monopoly.

  @SulloReport Moving it from Brisbane would kill it. There’s **** all around Optus stadium, Adelaide is boring, Sydney won’t turn up. The only option is Brisbane and Suncorp. Never been but can only imagine the buzz Caxton street has over the weekend.

  @hakluke About 20 years ago I was with Optus, and back then if you were late paying your bill Optus would disconnect your SIM so you couldn't even receive calls. To get it connected again you'd have to ring Optus and they'd tell you it would be back on within 4 hours. That never happened, so you'd have to ring them over and over again until it eventually got done. After wiaitng for over a week for my phone to be put back on and again being told it would be back on within 4 hours, I said "no, I'll wait on the phone with you until it's done. He then passed me to another team who enabled my SIM again while I was talking to him. Anyway, that night I noticed that when my Dad who has a private number rang me, it showed his phone number with a hash tag before and after the number. This happened with every private number and I realised that when my SIM was turned back on, something went wrong and I was able to see private numbers. It was the greatest thing ever! I would get telemarketers all the time who would abuse me when I'd tell them to stop ringing me, but now I had their number to call back. You should have heard how shocked the first one was when I rang him. I kept ringing him and he begged me to stop and kept asking "How did you get this number? I don't even know this number". That ended when that phone was stolen 2 years later, but it was great while it lasted. I've since had Optus tech employees in our pubs and ask them if they can do it, and they tell me that it's impossible, but I know it's not.

  @ThomasDougherty @oscarcsims In the past Optus tried it and failed so bad they had to hand it back to SBS which I think has also made streamers nervous the soccer fantasy in Aus likes the SBS team

  And they’re all the same. It’s almost a rule that the bigger they are the worse they are. Telstra, Optus, Qantas, the big banks, Coles, Woolworths. All run by wildly overpaid ‘chief executives’ who would rather wrestle crocodiles than actually encounter a customer. **** ‘em all.

  @pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra Maybe try Superloop. I was with Tesltra for 20+ years, and switched to Superloop. cheaper for higher speeds and I’ve had no issues with them for a the year since I switched.

  @TheLizVariant In Australia my isp optus said that due to my phone being old I would have to upgrade my phone as it would be disconnected when the new system is in place and that the phone would not be able to communicate with emergency services. So basically we are screwed !
