  @RFC_Centre One thing I found interesting watching the game at Optus. Time after time Sonsie was manning two players when the dockers were coming out of defence and usually stuck between both of them. There was never any backup from another team mate. Other than one error he had a good game.

  @Telstra @Optus Simply inadequate. It’s getting worse, and the scale of the problem requires a different approach. @Optus, what are you doing? Crickets from you.

  @rameshsrivats Ahmedabad deserves to host a final, but not every final. In the first place, a 100k capacity stadium was built there only because of the Gujarat connection. The stadium looks ugly with its colors. Had it been built like an Optus /MCG, deserved to host all finals. MCG is their sporting capital, hence hosts all finals. Ahmedabad is second tier to Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi. ( Delhi has an ugly stadium. Bang is very small and the worst track) @BCCI Finals must rotate.

  @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!

  Optus offered me Mydata 5gb, they'll 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, asking suggestions

  @Optus left for another provider because you left me on a higher plan than new plans. No second chance, screw you like you screwed me. Bye bye. NEVER AGAIN.

  @SocialPiranha3 And then, doubtless, gave you a fake name and position number when you called his threat out I had an incident where an Optus operator made all manner of promises but, when I called back, no notes, no names, fake ID and number Telco ombudsman became involved

  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 Me again @Optus, just checking in, when your staff name drop people’s fiancée, who Optus are aware was involved in previous domestic violence incidents, on a complaint that doesn’t involve said fiance, is this an approved intimidation tactic by Optus?
