  @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.

  @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.

  @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,

  @frokfrdk don't forget Telstra/TPG/Optus might just block it from the network for no reason either... expensive *** paper weight

  @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.

  @TheJoeySwoll No way this **** **** has made its way to you guys? This is some desperate **** in Perth who stages these things with her dad. She spams the same video at Optus Stadium thinking old people are looking at her but it’s just her dad. Don’t give it attention

  @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.

  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
