  @asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

  @reidallaboutit9 @lozza929406 @WestCoastEagles Hey at least it’s not at highly skilled stadium or whatever ******** its name is now. We took it right up to them at Optus last year and we’re considerably better now, Elijah will almost certainly be back for it also. Incursion🤔 think that might be a typo mate.

  @xjet @qikka2888 I'll be able to get a better/cheaper plan through another provider that uses Optus as the carrier, I just had to test that Optus worked, and it does. So it will end up being the permanent internet solution in the bunker. And temporarily gets me out of trouble at the lab.

  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

  @CraigTong__ @wayne_kag @AlboMP You ever tried to cancel Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel?

  @OMGTheMess The problem is, if the Libs got in whilst that program was being rolled out: today's batteries would be replaced with traditional car batteries, older inverters would be used, they pull ye ol optus cable and repurpose it for electrical wiring. Solar replaced with wind etc...

  Earlier today, some Optus customers may have experienced intermittent issues with their mobile services. This has now been resolved, and services are operating as expected. We thank you for your patience and apologise for any disruption caused.

  @optus 4G collapsed along Dynon Road, Footscray, as per usual ever since 5G started. Can’t even watch cable news. Before 5G used to get 70mbps up and down, now 4g average about 10Mbps dn (tonight even less) and about 1 to 3 up. How is allowed?

  @RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change
