  @Optus gahhh since the switch over with ‘Vivid Wireless’ my Internet has been painfully slow the last two days ... been trying to watch Netflix for 2 hours now and only managed to get 10 seconds out of an episode 😫 I don’t work split shifts 365 days a year not to enjoy my break

  @freopics_ If you can afford it, book flights now that you can get a refund or a credit voucher for as it guarantees more travel in 2027 hehe. But, otherwise it will be great here. Down in Freo or at Optus or with friends.

  @beeradmoore @robb_j_m Also, Optus have $10 for 30GB at the moment but will slow you down to 1.5 mbit when limit reached.

  @RocketTank123 Aussies have love/hate relationship with Telstra. It is the most expensive and customer service often terrible but for rural coverage it is the best by far. Optus or Vodafone would love to take some of Telstra’s pie with $ASTS remote coverage

  @DevMohali @Ausbobsmit I have met some really nice Indians, and I have met some that want to rip us off every chance they get. I will never again deal with an Indian or a Pakistani in telecommunications. I’m not sure but I think Telstra and Optus are a bit gun-shy well.

  @TaniaLe89811601 @realRick_AUS @SenstiveHearts I'm near the airport, very strong winds but a few planes still taking off. Wondering if they will cancel the Eagles game at Optus?

  @Telstra no internet or 5g in my area since very early Saturday morning, called up support and your support doesn’t even know there is a problem and can’t give general timeframe for a fix, beyond a joke @Optus might be getting some new customers very soon

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

  @bexcran IPv6 is massive in India, first class support by JIO. There are carriers that hold on to IPv4-only. Australia’s Optus is one. They had massive outages and security breaches. Lack of IPv6 support is a sign of systemic issues in the organisation.
