  @Telstra This tweet brought to you by me piggy backing off my Optus phones fully functional mobile network data. Eftpos machines are unable to do this. So any work around has to come from Telstra or I have to get the bank to change to Optus.

  @AndyG_2086 @ejburke_ At least we wouldnt have to remove seats like the US as some the stadia are not wide enough to fit the FIFA standard width. It dint seem to be a problem at Olympiastadion (Berlin) to watch on an Oval stadium. Im sure MCG/Optus{perth} and adalaide Oval would be fine.

  @DeanRosario Maybe at a pinch for a 32 team tournament. Not sure now. Plus the MCG, Marvel, Optus, SCG and the Adelaide oval are the wrong shape. Get the argument on the weather but really only totally sucks that time of year in Melbourne. I know a SWEDE who complained about Vic winter.

  Here is the kicker. I was there b/c my father has Parkinson and border line Dementia which Abu knew at 383 George St. Abu tried to get the attention of the manager who was with a customer along with another Optus colleague and he brushed Abu away without even acknowledging Abu. Being also brushed off angrily by the guy at World Trade Square (witnessed by another angry customer) and had not opened the store at required time only shows Optus has a serious cultural problem which I’m sure Ben Fordam at 2GB will find interesting tomorrow when I email him.

  @Optus Congratulations @Optus your incompetence has led me to @amaysimAU which are far far cheaper! You just lost a 30+ year customer. Well done 🤡 #auspol

  @optus has the worst customer service. I have tried to cancel my internet 3 times now. Every time I get to my final sign off, the online person discontents, and you then have to go through the entire process again. I switch to @Starlink 2 months ago - very quick internet.

  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?

  @Maddog6461 @Telstra Optus tower went out round the corner from here and you needed a mobile phone signal to open the padlock!!!

  Working in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW

  @Optus Sorry Tam, not a great response. I have now spoken with a senior person within Optus and emailed the CEO with my complaint along with sending the recorded conversation with your customer service team to him also. I guess you no longer value loyal customers. Gee 24 years.

  @ImOneWithTheKop @MikeGBurner @mleppard11 I’m sure they would, but the bidding requires at least seven existing stadiums be used out of 14. So we would need more than just Optus The FFA were certainly considering using the MCG in their potential 2034 bid that never materialised
