  I am too lazy to proof read and edit the below from grok, we had a chat in the car and below is the direct output for a post from grok, 85% my intent but could use some polish… (it gave me 3x image prompts, images from grok attached are also not proofed.) - enjoy: Why Starlink Roam Falls Flat in Australia (And How to Fix It) Honest opinion: Starlink Roam is brilliant on paper—$80 a month for 100GB priority data, perfect for caravans, motorhomes, or pros working on the go in the outback. But in reality? It’s poop for mobile use. Australia’s endless trees, dense bushland, and tunnels (think Bruce Highway or any regional drive) block the line-of-sight to satellites constantly. You’re crawling along at zero bars half the time, burning data elsewhere or offline entirely. Great for static campsites, useless in motion. The glaring hardware oversight: No LTE/cellular failover. Starlink Mini (or next-gen) should’ve shipped with an eSIM slot for Australian carriers like Telstra or Optus. When sats fail, auto-switch to 4G/5G local network as a hotspot—seamless, like your phone. Caveat: ACMA spectrum rules (IMT bands for terrestrial mobile) might need carrier partnerships, but it’s doable—Telstra/Optus already partner with Starlink for direct-to-device sat-to-phone using those bands. NBN fixed-wireless modems do exactly this: SIM failover when fibre/cable drops, approved under existing regs. If it’s green for NBN, it should be for Starlink Roam. Pricing fix for AU market: Base $19 add-on for up to 10% cellular failover (10GB on the $80 plan), covering Starlink’s wholesale data costs. Double to $38 for 100% cellular option if you’re in eternal tree hell. Keeps it affordable, competitive with eSIM hotspots, and actually usable. Starlink, take notes—Gen3 Mini or beyond, make it hybrid. Aussie travellers deserve better. What do you reckon? Roll it out!

  Optus offered me Mydata 5gb, they explain to you... bargain price, and there is unlimited I been a customer since they've began in Brisbane, and I used Optus since then. Even phoned and explained to name it Optus. because of the page, they needed a business name asking submit.

  @Optus until you improve your service you have no business increasing your undeserved fees a whopping 7.7% - above inflation. You are already overpaid at the current fees for what customers get.

  I went to cancel my service today, and they wanted me to speak with the @Optus loyalty team. I have been waiting for over 1 hour for this amazing loyalty service! I should have just cancelled when I had the chance.

  @antti_engineer @Telstra Signal strength is logarithmic. An additional 3 dBm can be a big difference. @Optus, a partner of Starlink, is claiming that the -115 dBm level is essentially unusable. And there are live measurements where Starlink hovers slightly above and below that number. Also, just look at the measurement in your own app there. The -112 dBm is about bordering going dark red and your own app describes -112 dBm as "Poor".

  @Defiantclient2 @Telstra Well, sounds like Optus and TPG have realized that putting these areas on the coverage map is just going to cause more trouble than its worth.

  @TeamHinduUnited The BS that they spread that they converted to Christianity because of caste Optus just Bull-Crap! They converted to Christianity because they are greedy and have absolutely no principles or self-respect. This has always been the case.
