  @challinor_dave @Telstra @Optus Try saying that to a Gov entity…oh wait, you call them and then hang on a call hold for hours…that’s another kind of problem!

  @DarkWebInformer Australia since Optus data breach, has been the best place to do hacking. Seriously, companies here are dumb as ****, people in power that should know better, have IQ of a potato 🤦 Idk how they get hired, Australians data will continue being leaked left and right 🤦

  @deniseshrivell 5G modem has never worked better. I then found out they tried the same thing with my dad and he fell for their reasons. He has an old computer that doesn’t even reach the speeds the NBN plan they put him on can reach. Boo Optus Boo iiNet!

  @accent_trace @ktdenise I think I had a minor mental glitch I did the calc using 24 months out of habbit, so yeah it’s more like only 500 a year cheaper, still hard to find an actual benefit to Optus/Telstra’s over priced plans. 10 years ago, you’d get an iPhone and service for $40 a month.

  @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 😒

  @punt_rd I wouldn't see them again. The sound was awful at Optus last time and I left early. Probably not their fault. I was gutted about Maiden and Megadeth though!

  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 network between Ballarat and Melbourne… absolutely woeful! Switched from @Telstra last year, not sure it was the best decision… although they weren’t much better. 3rd World network. #shameful #dobetter
