  @Optus you are most annoyingly difficult business to deal with. 15 years a customer and being treated like joke comedy routine for two days to change an internet plan. Then they ring you after work while driving saying can read the code back from the app.

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.

  @Optus what disgraceful experience. Into the second day of trying to upgrade my internet. @Telstra do you want a new customer?

  @TeamYouTube I have spent an hour on the link you provided but it is not helping. My third-party provider (Optus) shows active until May 2026, but my YouTube app is stuck showing an expired date from October 2025. All i want is Help to refresh my youtube account's sync with Optus.

  @SulloReport Moving it from Brisbane would kill it. There’s **** all around Optus stadium, Adelaide is boring, Sydney won’t turn up. The only option is Brisbane and Suncorp. Never been but can only imagine the buzz Caxton street has over the weekend.

  @MarkoMatvikov Got rid of Optus a while back for the sole reason that their customer service, both over text and phone, are utterly incapable of speaking English. It would have been funny if it wasn’t such a pain in the arse to deal with.
