  @Batman2242 Basically 2 mobile providers as Vodafone & Optus share a regional network but still have most of the cities on their own networks.

  I'm currently running a backup SIM in my phone. The number has never been put online, anywhere. And yet I got two spam calls today. That ain't a bot dialing random numbers. The number was recently transferred from Optus to Dodo. My number leaked out somewhere, how?

  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.

  Tech illiterate idiots in this comment section is insane, if ur still getting low internet speeds with nbn installed ur likely not asking for the fttp upgrade which is free and ur paying the same per month sometimes even cheaper then ur avg fttn ect with deals, yes sometimes u cant get fttp installed but cases are slim and u only ever have to pay if ur 1. Getting business grade lines (which u wont need for the avg household) 2. If they have to actually install the lines which if u have pre existing lines then ur fine and wont need to pay which is the case for most, As for wifi its only really a user issue so many things can can contribute to a bad wifi connection Like Bad routers Damaged lines Interference (usually if u have ur router lined with a stud in the wall can contribute to this) but microwaves and emf interference can cause a bad wifi connection Some routers just need a simple setup properly rather then it being just default IF you’re internet provider says anything like ur ineligible immediately ask for a technician to come out and look as the internet provider company’s themselves don’t have the technology to see if you’re ineligible or not they might say they do but at best they only have surface level ****, my first 2/3 calls to the internet company’s themselves were “you’re ineligible” the 4th I asked for a technician to atleast have a look and he said and in quotes “this is piss easy to install what where they even telling you” they then relayed that to them and got this (photo attached) within the next couple of days with the fibre installed And I’ll add my circumstances which is why I think most will not have any issues • I live in ******** nowhere with a avg of 2/5k people with a outdated tower for the town • the house I’m currently in is roughly 80+ years old as far as I know it got built in 1945 (yes it did get re modernised but like surface level **** like up to date stove and redone walls and paint obviously) no rewiring Yes we got ****** by abbot so we had to deal with **** company’s like Telstra Optus selling a fttn scam for probably more than enough time but we have had fibre implementations for a while now so the wifi/internet connection excuse just isn’t there anymore maybe at the start but we are pretty close to having most of Australia on fttp or atleast attempting We are in no way as good as NZs and USAs fibre implementations but you should be getting perfectly fine wifi and speeds for the avg homes use no matter what you do and if u work from home and do any data transfer work.

  🚨 SINGTEL CUTS CEO PAY AFTER MAJOR NETWORK OUTAGES. Singtel has cut CEO Yuen Kuan Moon’s pay after a year marked by high‑profile network failures in Singapore and Australia. The company’s annual report shows his compensation fell 16.9% to S$6.8 million for the financial year ending March 31. The reduction came even as Singtel posted stronger profits, reflecting the board’s push for accountability after outages disrupted emergency services and affected hundreds of thousands of users. The pay cut follows several serious incidents, including a 14‑hour Optus outage in Australia that hit Triple Zero emergency calls and back‑to‑back disruptions in Singapore that left about 600,000 customers offline. Regulators opened investigations, and Optus accepted all recommendations from an independent review. Singtel says it is focused on restoring trust, improving reliability, and strengthening its operations. The company remains confident about its broader outlook despite regional economic uncertainty.

  @optus_help Pointless. I've gone over this many times. It's been like this for a while now. It's leaving Me no choice but to have to move to another carrier. I've shown this to staff at the Bendigo Optus store. "That's pretty ****" were His exact words but NOTHING He could do.

  @Teh_Jkr @Optus I’m paying triple and I hardly use any data. I complained until I got a bill reduction but next week it will be bye bye Optus for me, despite being a customer for decades👋

  @Cjsavage696969 @KatieGrace2022 Optus could not cancel the services i wanted to cancel for 2 and half years but could send me a letter telling me small plan goes up by $9 this month. I disconnected 2 services that day due to inept staff and liers. Never composated either!.
