  @optus_help My mobile broadband internet in Eagleby is struggling at 0.21 mb per sec. I can’t even check network on Optus app. Poor internet is regular in my area. Is there any possibility that one day Wireless might be available?

  @lozza929406 @outbreezyWC Optus is booked for the duration of the Asian Cup, despite no more games being planned for the ground. SA has the cricket on at Adelaide Oval so it's out. Sucks but just venue availability 😒

  @greg__briggs @disco___cat Yeah. Aldi are good. I switched from Optus and the coverage seems better and it's cheaper. The app and support leave a bit to be desired though. Major cities and highway stuff for coverage checks.

  @Optus @ollierafc This happens all the time and the customer service team does not care or offer any help

  Phone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia

  @MattWalshMedia @CraigNorenbergs I haven't had a problem. I'm with Optus, so I'm wondering if it's a phone issue because I know that Telstra updating.

  @smd_donald Richmond beat West coast by 40 at optus late last season. Neither result is a reliable indicator of where they're at because they both suck. Teams go through good and terrible patches, especially when they're as bad as these 2 teams are.

  one of the main things preventing the Dockers from turning Optus Stadium into a “fortress” is West Coast being historically bad. it’s actually unintentionally sabotaging Freo because teams gain so much confidence when they play here against the Eagles
