  @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.

  @billdogan Hey Bill, it's not good to hear you're experiencing different internet speeds on your devices. When it comes to reception, Optus is constantly upgrading our network to provide better coverage. However, multiple factors can affect this, such as your hardware capabilities, software update, the building materials used in your home, and other signal blocking objects in your area. I have also checked your address from our end, and it looks like we haven't had any reported mobile network issues in this area. Please send us a DM with your full-service address, so we can investigate further. -Enku

  @maxxthum (But like Optus is just as bad anyway, I can barely get a signal on the XPT outside of stations)

  Anyone else thinking North Melbourne could be a banana peel this week? Fremantle have been dominating and if it were at Optus I wouldn’t even be considering it but down in Bunbury in the wind, could it even things up?

  @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.

  @itsiclassic Waaaaaay harder, my Galaxy S21+ died after I tried replacing the battery myself, and my carrier Optus made it hell to replace my eSIM, I had to wait in a store for 2 hours, and the store couldn't even do anything so they just let me borrow their store phone to call support 😭

  If Telstra vanished tomorrow, half the country would lose mobile service. If Optus or Vodafone vanished… most regional users wouldn’t notice. That’s the imbalance.

  @Batman2242 Basically 2 mobile providers as Vodafone & Optus share a regional network but still have most of the cities on their own networks.

  @PaulDonGipps It will go ahead. Optus is well protected from the wind. Just gonna be an awful game

  @SkullSpeedDeal I called Optus support the other day. The Indian guy on the phone literally couldn’t speak coherent English, misunderstood 5G and NBN, and sounded like he was calling from a scam centre which he probably was. Got escalated to an Aussie girl, problem was immediately solved.

  @Optus Do you train your Indian ‘Customer Service’ staff to be difficult, unresponsive and mendacious ?
