  @Rusken__ @Teh_Jkr @Optus Prepaid is just as bad! The cheapest prepaid sim on Belong is now $34, there are no $10 p/m plans anymore.

  @ianclarkeAU If you have a business you need both, they never go down at the same time. This was the case with Optus and Telstra cable networks decades ago, if you had both and a firewall/router that handled either bridging or failover you were never off line. Mind you Telstra did get nasty in the early days because their billing system was lazy so you could send packets out on one service and pull down data on the other thus avoiding usage fees. 🤓

  North vs West Coast Preview Not sure if anyone actually finds these useful, but here it is 👇 First things first, it’s North’s “home” game but at Optus Stadium. I can’t help but feel like WCE would be favourites if this was actually their home game? Happy to back the Eagles in at $2.75 on TAB. Hough tag: WCE are a good matchup for mids except for whoever cops the Hough tag. Keen to avoid Sheez & LDU this week because one of them will get it. Really like Kerch here playing as a midfielder. Should see plenty of it with the attention going elsewhere. Wardlaw the other one who shapes up as a nice matchup but I’m yet to see him really accumulate so I’m not as keen to play his overs. Happy to add him in a SGM for 15+ though. Defenders vs West Coast: WCE don’t actually concede that many disposals to opposition defenders, so I’m happy to leave Parker and Daniel alone in this one. Lines for them seem bang on. Big X needs help: Leaving big X alone here. Seems like a soft matchup vs WCE on the surface but he’s clearly not right with a very poor last 3 weeks and now requiring backup assistance from Goad. Would lean on the unders here if I had to, but probs leaving it alone given it’s already down at 16.5. North without FOS: On the flip side, North have been very restrictive for most of the season, except for their 2 blowouts vs Adelaide and Freo. Can’t see West Coast smashing North so I’m expecting North to be a bit restrictive. However, there’s also no FOS for North, so no heavy tags on WCE’s midfield. Makes it a hard one to gauge so I’ll be passing on the Eagles’ mids of Kelly & Reid. Defenders vs North: The area I do like here is unders for West Coast defenders. McCarthy & Ginbey out, Herbert & Lindsay in. Shouldn’t be too many positional changes, if any. I reckon Liam Baker and Josh Lindsay’s 19.5 lines are too high here and would be keen on their unders. Murdock, to tag or not to tag: Not sure if Murdock tags in this one. Don’t think they’d be too worried about Parker or Daniel, so I think Murdock might have the chance to win the ball himself again in this one. Don’t mind the o16.5 line for him. Goals vs North: Lastly, North’s backline is a rabble. Expecting West Coast to kick quite a few today. Liking Waterman 3+. Done it 5/L6 and now plays North. Only kicked 1 vs North in rd2 but North are in the second-leg of their WA stint. I’m expecting it to have its toll. SGM legs: Not overly keen on an SGM here but if I did, it would be something centred around Kerch 20+, Wardlaw 15+. Would be happy to add a very generous WCE alt handicap to boost the price here. WCE +30.5 perhaps?

  @FranMooMoo @PeterGr48811483 Count me ******** in. Optus is about as useless as a screendoor on a submarine to begin with anyway.

  @OneNewsAu This is not new news, they have been trialing sms over starlink using Optus and Telstra OWNED spectrum for several years and its at least live fir SMS on Telstra. As soon as Starship is cleared for normal operations they can launch the larger v3 satellites which will support this function fully. The spectrum spacex purchased is not compatible with current phones regardless, and would require manufacturers to adopt that band for use so its not close to being usable nor launched.

  @theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia When my husband died @Optus (Australian telco) harassed me for about two years about his bill and phone. Years. Told them over and over and over that he was dead. It was awful.

  Currently Sim confirmation is Huawei to Huawei but my sim is not here. I do have check Optus network response time when a request is sent. I've been timing everything for a very long time so I know everything and how it's supposed to be operating.

  @Optus has to be one of the worst companies I have dealt with. 3 hours of dealing with several departments about a simple fix only to be told they can’t help me and I have to go in store. Useless.
