  @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.

  @Togetherdec Australians can buy a mobile phone without identification but they can't connect to the network to use it without identification. Telcos are collecting & storing vast quantities of personal data. Optus iiNet TPG iPrimus Dodo already breached/hacked. Our Privacy Act is a joke.

  @eevblog Maybe Optus doesn't want you to leave and stop paying them, even if they are related to the network? I can only assume here that Dodo is less expensive than Optus, and that is the reason for you wanting to migrate.

  @Sullivan87M @footyindustryAU @BernardJKD The nrl also do state of origin at the mcg every other year and the Optus stadium can’t be that bad if they keep doing it, great stadiums both of them,

  @Justme136160 @robb_j_m To be fair, David is not wrong. Telcos will use the NBN infrastructure as they see fit. It’s cheaper to pay to use the NBN infrastructure that is already there than to lay down their own fibre. In fact, telcos like Optus and Telstra are already NBN providers.

  @Trev__Says @susan_taylor07 @cjoye None of them would have been profit making assets. Telstra would have been a big slow behemoth that got pants’d by Optus and Vodafone. Our gas wouldn’t have been developed - it took 15 years from sale to production. And we would have been paying huge amounts of interest.

  @7AFL $3b **** right off with that bullshit it’s a ******* ground improvement not a ******* weapon system, someone is pocketing a fortune. The total cost of Optus Stadium, the train station & the surrounding precinct was $1.6 billion which included extensive ground reclamation🤬

  @NBN_Australia Another internet free night because you and Optus won't fix whatever makes our internet drop out regularly. FTTP in 2026 but we'd get better connection in South Sudan.
