  Hey @optus why do i have to go outside to have a decent call with my customers? Seems to be a capacity issue, rather than a coverage issue. Its worse at night when people are home or when everyone works from home due to covid?

  @OptusSport This was the sole reason I joined optus as a customer. I’ll be leaving if you charge me and go to Vodafone.

  @Optus horseshit, 1/4 of Sydney coverage is still terrible.

  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?

  @missrobinson I made Vodafone give me a new customer discount by asking them after 20 years why new customers get better treatment, do I need to switch to Optus for 6 months to come back as a new customer.

  Telstra MVNOs ████████████ (higher cost) Optus MVNOs ██████░░░░░░ (mid-range) Vodafone MVNOs ████░░░░░░░░ (cheapest) Conclusion: We pay more because only one network actually works.

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

  Thank you to the NBN/Optus for restoring my internet connection at full speed. For the past 2 months it was working at woeful speeds. I was initially told it was a problem at my end 3 times but it seems the complaining from my end caused action for them to investigate and fix.

  @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.

  Just had the worst customer experience in my life from @Optus It took 2+ hours of dealing with barely legible Indians passing me from department to department. The worst was the ‘Tech Support’ woman who didn’t even know what 5G+ was and had to look it up on the website.
