  @eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.

  @Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?

  @hakluke About 20 years ago I was with Optus, and back then if you were late paying your bill Optus would disconnect your SIM so you couldn't even receive calls. To get it connected again you'd have to ring Optus and they'd tell you it would be back on within 4 hours. That never happened, so you'd have to ring them over and over again until it eventually got done. After wiaitng for over a week for my phone to be put back on and again being told it would be back on within 4 hours, I said "no, I'll wait on the phone with you until it's done. He then passed me to another team who enabled my SIM again while I was talking to him. Anyway, that night I noticed that when my Dad who has a private number rang me, it showed his phone number with a hash tag before and after the number. This happened with every private number and I realised that when my SIM was turned back on, something went wrong and I was able to see private numbers. It was the greatest thing ever! I would get telemarketers all the time who would abuse me when I'd tell them to stop ringing me, but now I had their number to call back. You should have heard how shocked the first one was when I rang him. I kept ringing him and he begged me to stop and kept asking "How did you get this number? I don't even know this number". That ended when that phone was stolen 2 years later, but it was great while it lasted. I've since had Optus tech employees in our pubs and ask them if they can do it, and they tell me that it's impossible, but I know it's not.

  @missrobinson I made Vodafone give me a new customer discount by asking them after 20 years why new customers get better treatment, do I need to switch to Optus for 6 months to come back as a new customer.

  @Feintglow @robb_j_m Or just change providers that actually want to provide a proper service and want happy customers. Rather than Optus, Telstra etc that don't care and know people aren't smart enough to change

  Thank you to the NBN/Optus for restoring my internet connection at full speed. For the past 2 months it was working at woeful speeds. I was initially told it was a problem at my end 3 times but it seems the complaining from my end caused action for them to investigate and fix.
